"Exellent customer service; quality product"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

eThink's project plan process was effective in capturing our requirements for the LMS. There was a clear path to implementation and going live, and they provided quality training for our admins. Their prompt response times for support tickets is well above the line. Staff are always very helpful and professional, even with customizing certain LMS features such as reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Nothing to dislike! Moodle itself can be a little confusing since it has so many features and is extremely customizable, but I have no concerns in this department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Moodle"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

It is a great way for people to collaborate with each other. It is also a great way for Teachers to teach a classroom of students online. We can give polls to the students, split them into groups for collaboration, and chat with them in a chat box. There are also many features the students can use with the teachers, such as raising their digital hand to ask a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Some features are difficult to find on it, such as the "away" sign and the hand signals. I also wish the polling on the Moodlerooms was easier to send out to students. I wish there was also an option to prevent students from unmuting themselves without permission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

If u need easy and effective collaboration, then use this LMS. It provides a great way for you to reach a wide-network of people located in various regions of the state. I believe it is the most useful when teaching others in a classroom environment. It is also very fun to use. This is mostly because of its minor capabilities - such as being able to use a chat box for side conversations, break out rooms for partner or group conversations, polls to evaluate opinions, and icons to let the teacher know each student's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problems we face are simply with schools being able to provide computers and other ways for students to access the Moodlerooms. It's benefits include being able to reach a wide-spread network of schools all around Arkansas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Use of Moodlerooms as an educator"

4/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

The instructions are pretty easy to follow for designing a course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not easily compatible with an iPad and the Moodle App has not been useful for students as it is hard to use with assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

It is easy to use with a PC. There are a variety of assignment types and assessments that can be used to provide a well rounded course. It is not easy, however, for students to upload large files.

"Moodle on steroids"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

How fast it behaves, in comparison to a plain moodle deployment. You can have a full working environment in a few days -most of them are taken by bureaucracy- without the need of deploying your own Moodle in your bare-metal servers.. Keep it simple and deploy fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

There are some options that are unavailable and have to wait for the next major update (each 6 months), like any sort of custom development outside of the system connection boundaries (LTI, websockets, etc). Anyway, this is the direction all major LMS are heading to: SaaS deployment and external applications without any connection to the LMS core, against the old inner plugin approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

If you like how a plain Moodle works, want to have quick and fast, and are not eager to implement any complex customizations, this is your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a quick way to sell a Moodle environment to a client without having to mantain the hardware infrastructure or taking care at all. Moodlerooms practically turns Moodle into a SaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No problems that I have personally experienced. Benefits that my school district has experienced is the ability to give the same training to all of their staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
