Such time consuming platform. Have used many but this is by far the worst most time consuming one. It does not make my already busy schedule less busy, too many clicks and not well through. > > Awful too many clicks to add anything to course . Course material is blunt and lacks the depth , difficult for students to navigate ----- ### "User friendly\!" — 5.0/5 > **Carol** | *4 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to add content and grade. Organization of a course is logical, and it doesn't require a lot of training to use, whether from an instructor or student standpoint. > > **Cons**: Zeros are entered automatically for quiz and test questions that must be manually graded, which causes my students to stress at their initial grades. Keeping the initial grade hidden until those questions can be addressed would be nice. > > Logical and easy to use, especially coming off of programs like Canvas and Blackboard. ----- ### "Worst Learning Management System" — 1.0/5 > **Razi** | *17 November 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing. See comments below about experiences. > > **Cons**: Everything. See comments below about experiences. > > This is the worst LMS I have experienced as a teacher or student, considering four different systems that I have used. It is not intuitive and the simplest thing takes many steps. It is very poor in organizing what you see on the screen. ----- ### "Easy to Use, Could Be Improved" — 4.0/5 > **Lucy** | *20 August 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy the way in which the content or each class is organized. > > **Cons**: I am not a fan of the amount of email notifications sent by Brightspace (discussions, announcements, etc.). If you do not want to receive any of these notifications, you have to unsubscribe from each thread. It is timely and clutters the inbox. > > I do enjoy Brightspace, however certain functions could be improved. It would be nice if it had an "Upcoming Assignments" section on the dashboard. ----- ### "Complicated work made simple\!" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *20 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Using the program means you don't have to re-invent the wheel. It's a great and well-designed educational program that I use as a university prof. > > **Cons**: There are a few little things such as color coding for certain assignments that I still don't fully understand. But it's not critical. > > Helps me keep a good grip on assignments my students have completed, as well as grades for the term at a glance. Easy to use and covers pretty much every function that a professor or instructor is likely to need. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122854/brightspace?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122854/brightspace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
