Populi Reviews & Product Details

I like that Populi lets you use the text feature if the student signs up for it. I also like the ability to add your picture to the profile. As an admin, I appreciate being able to determine who can see the messages, whether it's the student or other staff members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see the reports being ran a little bit better. Sometimes it's hard to get the information you want based on the way the reports are set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cross-listing of classes creates some challenges for online discussions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Populi is visually appealing to the eye. While it contains a large portion of information, they have designed it in a way that is not overwhelming but still allows students to access things they need to access. Populi is also web-based and allows easy access to it whenever and wherever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Populi has come a long way, but still has a ways to go. They've created a great product but it is definitely unfinished. The complicated algorithms exist, but the simplest of functions do not. When requesting the simpler fixes be added, you simply get ushered to their discussion board to await a rare solution to your (and other institution's) problems.

Populi helps me organize and communicate with my students in an efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that I could integrate it with other programs my institution uses so that it is not redundant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate, post feedback to students, take attendance and record grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could include more options for creating quizzes and exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty easy to catch on to the interface. It does the job well without over-complicating the user experience. The profile creation is a nice touch as it makes it easier to connect with other students. I like that I can retain a history of courses and notes that were uploaded by instructors and access them after the course is over. The settings for the discussion boards are great. Its nice to be able to keep track of my responses and engage with my other classmates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating back to original assignments/lessons can be a little difficult. Items specific to a particular lesson aren't grouped together so you have to bounce around a bit. It can be easy to overlook a task if you dont know what your looking for. The list of all assignments can be overwhelming as it is presented in the current UI.

It would be great if Populi offered integrations so that our instructors could post the recorded lessons within the Populi interface. Perhaps that is a feature not being utilized. But we presently have to access the video through another application. Integrating with a livestream would be super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Populi cuts out a lot of the unnecessary additions that many learning systems have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the testing functions to be quite clumsy. I was unable to test within a lockdown browser so my online tests (for my online class) had no security. Students were able to easily copy and paste from other browser windows.

I was also not a fan of the navigation. The program would benefit from a way to flip between tests for different students that does not involve going back to the grade book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is about right given what it does vs the competition. However that isn't saying much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frankly...a lot. It is definitely older software, or at least looks and works like older software. The UI is VERY dated. It looks like the old frames based websites of the 90s and early 00s (probably because it is). Functionality is limited. We've been able to do what we need, but often have to use some kludgey work arounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tight integration, every part works together seamlessly. A week after our school went live with Populi, it has already become indispensable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we had the ability to import records instead of going through Populi support. The migration guy is great but it is more convenient.

The interface should be a little more consistent, The links are not always visible, you don't intuitively know that you can click on the label to bring up the pop up window to change it. Once you understand the interface, it's not much of an issue.

For LMS, we wish we can download files without opening each file and click download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
