Unique Learning System Reviews & Product Details

Different levels for students, premade lessons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough time for some lessons. Not a lot of variation from year to year since some students are in the same class for a few years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of this website . This curriculum is already differentiated according to a student's ability and it is designed thematically every month so it fits the lessons we use in the classroom. It has text to read features which allows students who has reading challenges to still read and access materials . It has a lot of visual cues to make the curriculum understandable and accessible for all students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope they can expand their units with embed videos so we are able to use those as a resource when we are teaching the lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thoroughly enjoy using this software. I have used it for seven years now as a special education teacher in a self-contained classroom. I think it is very appropriate for students with mild disabilities all the way to students with severe and profound disabilities. I love the picture symbol text, read-aloud feature, and all the assessment features. I utilize the GPS feature, which allows for pre and post-assessment during a typical school year, accompanied by graphs and charts to help monitor student progress. It is an excellent software for students with disabilities. It is also very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very few things I dislike about the Unique Learning System. The only complaints I can acknowledge are the topics on occasion. They can be irrelevant or complex for my students to understand. Sometimes, they are just unenjoyable. This is not all of the time, and there are often various options to choose from, allowing our class to explore and find better topics within the software. The downsides of using the software come when utilizing a typical book or other reading opportunities without the picture symbol feature - students have become used to the ULS system and are unable to follow along, as well.

There is an easy process to share with other teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is not easy to maneuver. There is no consistency in the placement of icons and buttons. Teacher is given a multitude of items to document and the need to add time limits does not work for the population of students that need a lot of parent/guardian support.

Truthfully, I don't understand the concept. Which students get what assignments and which students are to be assigned separate assignments? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it has potential in reading, even though it is easy for my higher readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Math--it's either too easy or too hard. Example: Word problems are broken down into just addition or subtractions. My students need to learn vocabulary to be able to determine if they should add or subtract. Too hard when it comes to Algebra, which is not particularly a real world topic.

Science--Not enough material. One experiment cannot last three days. Science is needed daily and monthly for a 50 minute block.

Social Studies---Is there even social studies curriculum???? So little it seems like none. Plus it's not relevant to Georgia's standards. There is also nothing for the 6th and 7th grade curriculum. I teach 50 minutes of social studies daily. Not 20 minutes here and there. There are less than 10 extra practice social studies and each of those can be done in one day not spread over 3.

Language Arts--when you give students a writing prompt, it seems you just think they will write. The students need several choices to choose from plus word boxes and sample sentence starters. A random topic doesn't work. Also, students can't just edit their own work. They have to learn basic editing skills taught in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The monthly topics are great. They have themes and visuals for non readers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the monthly articles would benefit from more substance to facilitate conversation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If anything sometimes my system crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
