## Stepik Reviews
  ### 1. Stepik - great for implementing sound didactic strategies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leopold H. | Pedagogical Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Stepik?**

With Stepik I can implement all learning strategies that are important to our target groups. Specifically the various types of quizzes allow for great learner experience.
I find the improved interface intuitive and easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Stepik?**

It is not really a dislike, but course and learners' management is not a top priority in Stepik

**Recommendations to others considering Stepik:**

Go ahead and use it. If you have lots of courses and students to manage (as is the case in university settings, for example) also look elsewhere

**What problems is Stepik solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a distance learning institute and use Stepik to deliver our courses. The main benefit is the great acceptance by learners, we receive lots of thank-you messages.
We have translated the Stepik user interface into German language and are actively delivering courses in German language.

  ### 2. Stepik: The absolute best platform for online education

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Niema M. | Graduate Researcher, Biotechnology, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Stepik?**

Auto-graded coding assignments, clean and responsive UI, multiple types of learning challenges, Android/iOS app

**What do you dislike about Stepik?**

There is a slight learning curve in developing content. However, Stepik does include comprehensive documentation to aid in learning how to develop on their platform. Perhaps have a tutorial of how to go from zero to something fully-functional?

**Recommendations to others considering Stepik:**

Absolutely try it out. Developing content on Stepik can initially be a tad daunting because of all of the different things you can do with it, but once you get the hang of it, there are pretty much no limitations in what you can do! Plus, the student-side interface is absolutely simple and intuitive. I have used it to write a fully-online interactive Computer Science textbook, to create short online activities to be done in my in-person lectures, to create online training materials for scientists wanting to analyze data, etc. Anything I can imagine wanting to create, Stepik has a clean way of implementing it.

**What problems is Stepik solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I teach numerous Computer Science and Bioinformatics courses, namely with an emphasis on massive online courses. As a result, I need an easy way to deliver learning content as well as code challenges in a manner that is scalable. Stepik's clean platform and excellent auto-grading capabilities make it the ideal platform for my needs. I am running a few courses on the platform, each with at least 10,000 students, yet the scalability has been handled completely perfectly by the platform. I also use Stepik in my in-person classes at UC San Diego: I employ the "Flipped Class" method of teaching, so I have students learn the course materials online via the Stepik platform, and then during class, I am free to perform Active Learning activities with the students (often also using Stepik!) to enhance their learning.

Thank you so much for sharing your kind feedback about Stepik. We appreciate it a lot! As per your request, currently, there is Help.Center (https://support.stepik.org/hc/en-us) and Epic Guide to Stepik (https://stepik.org/1). Also, we plan to create a course for instructors.

Keep up the great work! 

  ### 3. Great Service Easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken M. | Senior Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Stepik?**

Very expressive with a lot of features built in. There are many elements to test for understanding, which really engages the users more effectively. Also, there is a great discussion system so I can update my curriculum based on student confusion and feedback.

**What do you dislike about Stepik?**

Customization can be a little loose. Also editing can be a little difficult to master. It's not super beginner saavy like other services.

**What problems is Stepik solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding a free realm to teach my courses.
