## ISI: Illuminate Student Information Reviews
  ### 1. Illuminate education is essential

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** KATHRYN P. | Classroom Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I love how user-friendly Illuminate Education is.  My favorite aspect is the reports.  There are a variety of reports that are a click away that can show individual or class progress. There is also an excellent bank of questions to choose from when creating an assessment.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

There is not anything I dislike about Illuminate.  It makes my job as an educator easier having access to Illuminate Education.  I do not know what I did before.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am solving the problem of analyzing student data.  It used to be so time-consuming to dive deep into student data, but now it is much easier, thanks to Illunimbate Education.

  ### 2. Convenient but sometimes difficult to use.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diana F. | School Counselor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I like that illuminate education offers a lot of tools to help you track data and also identify which students are at risk, whether it is social-emotional scales or grades; illuminate has it all.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I don't like how complicated illuminate can be. Sometimes I had to click through many things before being able to find what I needed. However, illuminate did have a lot of easy-to-use features.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Illuminate is convinent

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With illuminate, I was able to track my student's social-emotional data and highlight which students needed the most support. Illuminate was convenient and kept all of the data in one place.

  ### 3. Use Illuminate for Easily Administering Summative Assessments

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Heidi N. | Student Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2019

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate allows you to create tests with finite testing windows and it keeps students from being able to access the internet while they are testing. You are able to link it to your online grade book and skip the step or having to grade or run scantrons. I also appreciate that teachers can use what others have made and simply assign it to their class with or without making slight modifications. The students are already familiar in CA with the software because of benchmark testing, so it keeps the technology hurdles low- especially for our tech savy teens.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

While it does take a substantial amount of time to create an assessment on Illuminate, you are able to share it with other teachers as well as make adjustments to it in the future by making a duplicate and editting that. It also requires that short response answers have specific terms in order for the software to grade students' writing for you. 

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Illuminate does take some perseverance when you're learning how to create and administer tests, but the up  front labor does reward you with some to no grading after the fact and with Aeries, the scores can automatically filter into the grade book.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously we had been using Google Forms to administer tests and quizzes online in class, but it was challenging to keep students from using the internet to help them. With Illuminate, students show what they know without the temptation of easily cheating. 

  ### 4. Great Educational Software 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric J. | Instructional Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2019

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I love that you can easily share data with 
co-workers and manage online testing materials. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I dislike that you have to change your password every 30 days.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Some solved problems are that I can easily manage student test results and administer online test easier. 

  ### 5. valuable tool to administer and grade tests and exams

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2019

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I can save paper and provide electronic versions of tests and exams on the lockdown browser where students can't go on to another website to cheat. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I have nothing i can think of that I dislike about illuminate.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is also super easy to grade the answer sheets especially multiple choice by using the webcam.
Then it generates reports for me to see the patterns in the class results.

  ### 6. Easy scanner!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate is great for multiple choice assessments. I’m able to create assessments on the software and print out scantrona as a whole class or by individual student. The best part is scanning the student responses in using the camera on my laptop. It is quick and very efficient. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The down side to illuminate is the newest update. I prefer the old method of searching for assessments created. It is much more challenging than before. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use illuminate to get immediate feedback on student work and getting a summary of how classes did overall. 

  ### 7. Frustrating but useful

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I really like that Illuminate is versatile and allows our school to use the product for a variety of things, such as attendance, grades, discipline, etc.  It has a dashboard after login that allows the user to easily access  what they need without clicking all over the interface.  The administrator can set up different dashboards based on the level of the user, so office staff have different dashboard shortcuts than the teaching staff, for example.  I also like that when you need support with the product, you can quickly reach out to the Illuminate phone support team and they can generally correct your issue right then and there.  If not, they will open a support ticket and get back to you to help correct the issue at a later time.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I often has issues with the grade books, where grades refuse to link, publish, and push over to student report cards.  I have to frequently reach out to Illuminate phone support just to help me solve my issues, as my Home Office IT support team usually cannot determine a response.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Illuminate as a school to take attendance, track student records, report behavior incidents, put in Standards-based and points-based grades, and more.  

  ### 8. Makes Differentiation and Data Collection very easy!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I love that I can create my own simple or elaborate quizzes and test and easily use the data to be help each student on their own level.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Scanning from the computer's camera is not very efficient.  It takes some time to figure out the best position for the scantrons, but often it takes a lot of tweaking to get it to scan.  Scanning using a PDF file is much easier but not as convenient.  I wish the technology improved so that papers could be scanned quickly, without much repositioning.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data collection used to be tedious and difficult to evaluate and interpret.  Illuminate Education helps me get the most useful information about my students without having to manual sift through copious amounts of data.  Once I began using Illuminate, I quickly realized how inefficient I used to work with data.  Prior to this computerized system, I was spending a lot of time guessing which students needed help with which topics. 

  ### 9. Illuminate

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cortnee P. | Reading Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Being able to record all of my grades in one place and keep track of my assessments. I also like that there is a parent portal.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I wish that it was more aesthetically pleasing when it comes to data.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Get a full run-down of all of the tools there are to use. This is my second year using this program and I am still discovering things about it that I had no clue I could do in the beginning. Definitely use the assessment tools to your advantage!

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

 I wish that I didn't have to clear my grades every quarter manually. I like that it gives you the class average at the bottom for each assignment and for the cumulative grade. I also appreciate that it is color coded for the grades, so it is easier to see who needs work on what standard/assignment.

  ### 10. Illuminate is clunky

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karin H. | Language Arts Teacher, 6-8, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate is nice that it has widgets and is a one-stop shop for all data needs. It is nice that you can add and subtract data needs and reports as needed for the school. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The assessment function is underdeveloped and clunky. It is also sometimes a never-ending scrolling page when looking at student data. It seems that some features (like the QR code scanner and bubble sheets) are technologies that are 15 years anchored in the past and outdated. 

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

This could be a very powerful data system if the admins spend lots of time setting it up and getting the settings correct. As far as assessment tools, it seems very outdated and clunky and doesn't compare to other educational technology tools out there at all. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data needs for staff and students. Benefits are having one place to look for student data. 

  ### 11. Great for Quizzes and tests

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alan B. | Key Holder, Apparel & Fashion, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

It allows me to easily give tests and quizzes that I create for my students.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Its a bit complicated to use at times so training is necessary.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Get the right training to help you

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easily give quizzes and tests

  ### 12. Not Intuitive

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** adam d. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

It is much easier to scan tests which allows for easy breakdown into details.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

It is not intuitive; it is hard to navigate.  Our school site only uses part of the program so we don’t have it as an integrated program which makes it pretty useless.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

It seems like a cool tool, but most teachers have abandoned it.  The district uses it but rarely.  Mostly now it is a hassle to use.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows for district tests and to gather large amounts of testing data.

  ### 13. Assessment and analytics with teachers in mind 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2018

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate does it all. Great for administering online assessments either generated by teachers or utilizing item banks. A wide range of interactive reports allow teachers and leaders to explore the data. Fantastic team ready to help you get the most out of Illuminate.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Teachers say the main downside is that they need to reenter assessment grades into the gradebook since we use a different student information system. Navigating the site can take some time to learn too, but these are small hurdles and there are easy-to-follow tutorials.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Take time to learn about all  Illuminate has to offer, including the BI tool and SIS.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Combining data from multiple assessments to see performance over time.
Delivering assessments aligned with statewide tests, including the use of technology enhanced items.

  ### 14. Great for accessing multiple data points

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gillian Q. | Founding School Leader of KIPP Northeast College Preparatory, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I love how I can search by student and see all relevant data in one place.   It is also a more useful teacher gradebook than our previous gradebooks.  It is extremely teacher friendly, and works for more traditional taechers.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I wish it was easier to make user-friendly reports (e.g. data about teacher grade books)

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Illuminate allows us to have one data warehouse, which helps us make better decisions.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I like being able to choose from a variety of reports either for my whole class or individual students so I can identify where my students need extra practice. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The report card process is somewhat tricky and usually requires help from our school's technology coordinator.

We are able to see any gaps individual students or whole classes may have in their learning. 

  ### 16. Illuminate (School Database)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shaina K. | Computer Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I like that student information is easily accessible through Illuminate's website. Also, there are pre-built reports that educators have access to. For instance, our school district has a pre-built report that includes all student's GAFE usernames and passwords.This helps teachers print out and organize a list of all the GAFE information. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Sometimes a student's profile takes time to be updated. Also, if you are not sure where the reports are located it can take some time to find them if you are not familiar with the website. 

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Illuminate education is a web based platform that allows educators to gather student information/history. It is easy to use and accessible. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a teacher, if I need to look up any information for a student I use Illuminate. For example, if I need a student's username or student ID number--I am able to access it all through Illuminate. I can also see some of the student's educational history.

  ### 17. Illuminate not user friendly

I would research your options, I wish is was connected with PowerSchool like unified classrooms. To many issues with overnight exports as well

I have used help support on numerous occasions, I find it difficult to get answers due to their 3 hour time diference

**Reviewed by:** Michele S. | 8th Grade ELA Teacher, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I like the large array of reports that you are able to generate with this program. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The program is not very easy to use. It required a lot of self-guided training and a lot of district-wide trainings. It is also somewhat unreliable as it malfunctions often. The website has issues in the middle of student tests. 

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Be patient when learning to use the program. Tech support is helpful, but you do have to call them. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As educators, we are able to thoroughly analyze and track student performance in a number of ways using this software. It makes assessing easier, when it works.

I like the easy of taking attendance, adding notes to student accounts, ability to see data and information on my students, and a streamlined system for my grades.

Highly consider this system. It is easy to use even for those that may not be very tech savvy. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca M. | 7th grade Language Arts & Social Studies Teacher, Primary/Secondary Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate is a great data tracking program. Not only are the grade books easy to set up and use, but integrating assessments using Illuminate is simple as well. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Oftentimes grades take some time to update on the student side, causing frustration and anxiety to students who are monitoring their own grades. 

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

Utilize the trainings available from the company. Illuminate has so many features, and they are constantly rolling out updates, that the initial training is vital. Once you have a basic understanding of how to use the product, you can use webinars and tutorials that Illuminate Education offers on their site to learn and utilize the new features. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were in need of a way for parents to monitor student progress as often as they'd like without having to first contact the teacher. When we stumbled upon Illuminate, we realized this was a great tool, especially with Google Apps integration. Students and parents are able to log in using home connect and monitor grades and progress. When any issues arise, parents are able to contact teachers to address these needs.

  ### 22. Illuminate is illumi

  ### 23. Great ideas but doesn't fully deliver

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2017

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

I like how I can access information on the internet, no matter where I am. I also like how there is a variety of information available to me on the site.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The exporting from my grade book to report cards is not friendly and does not work well. I would love to be able to directly export my grade book to the report card, but it doesn't give me the freedom to control how to make my grade book grades translate to the report card grades - it has to be a whole-district decision.

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is a great way to share information about students with many people without having to come to the office to look it up.

  ### 24. Review of Illuminate

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2017

Useful to obtain information but complicated to navigate for individuals who don't use it on a daily basis or don't use it to obtain a variety of information.

Really not user friendly and intuitive for someone who uses it maybe once every two weeks to obtain one report.

Adequate for management of student information, from state testing scores to report cards to special factors such as special education or English language learner. Not as intuitive to use as I would like, but it does the job for what it is.

I can look up student test scores and report cards. It allows me to download them as a PDF and include it in my reports.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2016

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate is a great platform to use for the education space because it integrates the gradebook, attendance, quiz capabilities, and a variety of other tools that are beneficial for teachers and educators alike. Illuminate also provides the capability of various widgets to assist in the academic process. 

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

Illuminate needs to consolidate the variety of different buttons that can be used within the software as it can sometimes be intimidating to a new user or school. Illuminate is always have problems with the software slowing down or even stopping during important processes such as entering grades and submitting attendance. 

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I do not use this for a business solution.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2016

**What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The ability to pull literally any report I want! Through this, I am able to really analyze what's happening on campus and make sure that we make adjustments that will truly change what's happening in our classrooms and help our kids as best as possible.

**What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?**

The speed of the site at times. There are many times when it lags. Even loading a student profile can take a long time. We've also had times when the site crashed, and we needed it for a full-staff 4-hour long data dive. This of course put a damper on what was planned and made it hard for us to really do what we needed to do.

**Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:**

n/a

**What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've been able to pull data on anything I'd like and really dig into the root of a problem.
