Revel has been such a life saver!! It’s super self explanatory and user friendly.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Revel?

Mr Curtis Ogland Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/22/2019 "Revel is an interactive learning platform for today's tech savvy student" 5/5 What do you like best about Revel? 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. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. What problems is Revel solving and how is that benefiting you? Revel provides a dynamic e-text that is interactive and engaging for the student. I believe it helps the student to stay more engaged in the content and reading throughout the semester. I didn't use any of the assessment functions, but I have heard that the quizzes and gradebook can seamlessly integrate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creative Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/19/2019 "Smarter POS" 4/5 What do you like best about Revel? It is user-friendly but complex as you'd like to get with sales items. Interfaced almost always seemlessly with the books. Best of all, less touches than other POS systems, which made ordering faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. Recommendations to others considering Revel: If backend planning is important to you, Revel is an excellent POS system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Revel solving and how is that benefiting you? Revel was a simple POS but a POS with depth. Engineered well, ordering became so much easier.

"It works as intended" 3/5 What do you like best about Revel? It works fine for digitally based coursework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. Recommendations to others considering Revel: If you're locked to Pearson products it does work as intended, though modern integration shortcomings make it feel inferior to similar products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Revel solving and how is that benefiting you? It is required for coursework. Do your work on time, report bugs or questions to the professor, and you're good to go. Again, it is very basic but lacking in convenience and overall quality compared to similar programs.

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. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. Recommendations to others considering Revel: I've heard that the support is great if you just contact them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Revel solving and how is that benefiting you? Like I said, being able to see what my students are doing and what their activity is on the site is really helpful when it comes to seeing what I need to lecture about. It solves issues with students who have reading disabilities as well since the text can be read aloud. It accommodates commuter students and helps me and run my classroom more efficiently. It's also nice that students don't necessarily have to pay for a textbook - they definitely appreciate a little bit of a lower cost. 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. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Revel solving and how is that benefiting you? Revel assists with helping students learn in a convenient fashion, where texts can be accessed on a phone app, computer, and other devices. It’s great when you need to hear the text while reading, which is often not available in physical versions. It allows for more interactive learning and integrates supplementary sources. It’s beneficial for the environment and saves money versus a physical text. It’s great for continual learning and testing one’s self on what they read with multiple choice questions.

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. What do you dislike about Revel? 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. Recommendations to others considering Revel: Establish a good relationship with your regional sales rep. They can push problem-solving of tech issues through to the correct people much faster than going through standard tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
