• Desire2Learn does a great job encouraging faculty to follow best practices in delivering "modules" of content to students. The Content Tool, Course Builder, and Instructional Design Wizard encourage faculty to package their content into modules that are easy for students to navigate. With 10.2, faculty also enjoy being able to drag and drop files from their computer into a module!
• Desire2Learn is also easy for an administrator to configure and customize. Administrators will appreciate the ease of creating new custom roles and permission for specific types of users. Administrators will also be happy with the ability to create custom homepages and navigation for different organization units (departments, schools, and colleges).
• Desire2Learn support is fabulous. The support staff is available for faculty, staff, students, and administrators. Their representatives are extremely knowledge about the product and have access to higher level technicians for additional support cases.

• UI is a bit dated, but it's parallel to PPT which puts some users at ease
• Storyline is PC only, by far the biggest drawback
• A big slow in rendering video content during export
• Player is a bit rigid

• Although it's improved a lot over the years, it is NOT intuitive to use for instructors or students.
• The documentation is just incredibly scant. Although our university offers some support, it would be nice to be able to get help without having to call our IT department.
• Unless you customize the interface (which is a bit tricky to figure out), it can be pretty cluttered and overwhelming for students.

• Our organization must create training for individual locations that may have as few as 2 and as many as 50 employees. When you do that you can't purchase training and you need to make a lot of site specific courses even to separate video components. This is a cost effective way of providing for that need.
• The negative might be the cost of the software if you are not going to use it for a large quantity of course work.
