The LRN Catalyst Platform is a user-friendly platform for managing ethics and compliance that is attractive to the eye. It is an effective tool for yearly compliance training since it is simple to use and has a strong recordkeeping database. But by incorporating an artificially intelligent voiceover program, expanding the selection of images, and introducing more narration, the platform might be made better.

Pleasant to use and easy to navigate and create slides

More reading is needed, limited narration and image selection should be improved

Vault is a reliable, well-coded platform that rarely causes problems during mergers. It features an excellent diffmerge tool and interfaces with Visual Studio effectively. Because it is stand-alone and offline compatible, this may not work well if a different team member has to upload a file that is checked out. With Vault, branching and forking are not very reliable.

Excellect customer support, option for SSO, third-party integration, training resources available

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.
