    Brightspace and D2L are two very easy to use platforms that provide different helpful functions.

    This platform is user-friendly and has a simple but effective interface. I have not encountered any problems so far.

    Going back to the past pages takes a lot of clicks, it's not a big problem, but it would be great if there's a way to jump pages quickly.

    Taking some higher-level courses online which are essential for college success/admissions has been possible and due to being a busy learner, I couldn’t fit into my senior year schedule.

    Taking these lessons outside of school is possible, the ability to remain on track as every lesson comes with a “90 Day Plan” in the course contents, I can operate at my personal pace, and for a busy learner as myself, it has very helpful adaptability of completing the online course at my own speed.

    Every now and then a tiny box that pops up warning the user that they’ll be logged out and required to login again after the session exceeds 30 minutes of inactivity when I’m working on a lesson.

    It can record the long meetings, and then post those on its dashboard. The support staff is very cooperative and helpful. We are definitely having it for this year's venue too.
