Revel Reviews & Product Details

I like the way it was set up, although it was expensive, but that's fine, because I am in college. Everything in my school for my class went remote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of my assignments that I have completed say they are incomplete, so personally, I think that's annoying, because I had to email my professors, and they had to keep contacting the company to give us the e-book, and all of my professors are annoyed by it.

Revel has been such a life saver!! It’s super self explanatory and user friendly. It’s allowed me to have easy access to my course work when I’m on the go, and I can even use it without WiFi if I download it. I also love that you can word search and highlight.

Sometimes it can be a little jumpy/overly touchy when I’m trying to scroll and read, making it restart the page or something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interactive features of Revel, the audio text, interactive quizzes, in-text features that allow students to take quizzes and do exercises. The way the content is packaged. The app was easy to use and access the textbook also. I like how students can access the textbook in multiple modalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't have any dislikes of Revel. I used it in my teaching for Introduction to Sociology and received outstanding feedback from my students. Probably the cost might be a downside. In an age when textbooks are so expensive, students are looking for the cheapest options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the videos, games and online manipulatives. It makes learning a bit more fun for the students and allows them more independence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the tools can only be found in some units and not all of the topic units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is user-friendly but complex as you'd like to get with sales items. Interfaced almost always seamlessly with the books. Best of all, less touches than other POS systems, which made ordering faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the close out protocol was redundant or confusing for some employees, but still learnable. Not much negative to say about Revel for what we used it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revel offers an interactive e-book for the course which makes life easier for student engagement. I love having supplemental material on hand as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I have to deselect the quizzes in the textbook. I would prefer to be able to choose to deactivate them all and activate at will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works fine for digitally based coursework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't operate as smoothly as competing programs, Pearson customer support is a hassle, direct integration with LMS systems does not function very well in comparison to other programs like Connect. Extra tutoring and learning reinforcement is lacking in comparison to free programs like Khan Academy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that my students can work on classwork remotely. Being able to see if they even log in or not is a great feature and helps me know how my class of 75 is doing. It's a great way for kids to save money as well, as they don't need to buy the loose leaf textbook. The interface is clean and easy to look at. It's also great for those who have learning accommodations because the text can be read aloud to the individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My students still complain about the price, which is definitely difficult. Highlighting also seems to be a little difficult, just technology wise. I think there could be an easier way to highlight, or rather, make it not feel like we're doing it in the early 2000s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked best that the software allowed you to have online access to textbooks and purchase a digital code instead of a physical book. It was nice to have audio reading for passages and interactive videos with the texts. It is always helpful to have built in highlighting tools and definitions right on the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software lacks due to the fact that it errors continually, and you have to refresh the pages. Quizzes and questionnaires are often not in line with the book’s content and trick you. It can be difficult to navigate back and forth or get to your place that you left off. It’s also sometimes not true to the physical text which can leave gaps in learning.

I like the easy to follow flow of the content, and eh overall ease of access. he presentation to the student is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the audio files could be sped up a bit more and that the audio navigation would bookmark locations more precisely on the current page. Also, sometimes the grades do not always sync smoothly with the LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
