Not difficult to adjust if switching over from other academic systems. **What do you dislike about uConnect?** The notification category needs to be updated, and other minor areas on the system (calendar, discussion threads/posting capabilities). **What problems is uConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Seeing potential updates in the future, hopefully soon. If so, this system could be extremely useful in small and extensive higher education platforms! ### 10. A system with no major flaws **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Garrett S. | Student, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022 **What do you like best about uConnect?** The system isn't difficult to use by any means. It's straightforward and d2l systems are a well known alternative to the the much more known blackboard systems. Navigating individual class pages is standardised so you don't have too much to re/learn. **What do you dislike about uConnect?** The calendar is truly duck taped together. You never know when exactly the date on the calendar corresponds to. Additionally you are not always about to see a calendar view of all groups. The whole system seems to be this way, very barebones. Communication and discussion threads are laughably bad, and the notification system for staying up to date with communication is impossible. **Recommendations to others considering uConnect:** You probably don't have alternatives. Just keep a good calendar outside of unconnect. **What problems is uConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?** It lets me do classes while working full-time. Apart from that there are very little problems that this system fixes over any other competitor. ### 11.
