• Clean display. Many of our users are new to online learning, so it was imperative that the display and interface were easy for users.
• Cost effective. Compared to many of the other online learning systems this program is affordable.
• Easy to create a course. On the administrative side, it is easy to create content and put together the course.

• Their integration with Big Blue Button was a bust for distance learning. Would be great to see them collaborate with Zoom or Google Meets.
• Their "feature request" process is slow and cumbersome at times because it relies on user "up votes" to get ideas addressed by the developers.
• They seem to have a lot of turn-over with their staff. We get a new Customer Success Manager far more frequently than with other vendors.

• Although an evaluation form can be created for users to complete providing feedback of the system, I would like to have a default template to use for this purpose.
• The default certificate needs to be updated for a more professional look. One can create an evaluation but it’s not worth the hassle.
• Can’t think of anything else.

• It has helped us by automating the state-mandated trainings that we need to do. We used to do them by paper and had to manually check them off in our system. With iSpring Learn, we are able to automatically track our training outcomes.
• We have also been able to implement more supplemental trainings for our staff as we can put additional classes online and they can take the class(es) they want (or we require them) to take. It has not been long, but we have seen a slow increase in the number of staff taking the additional trainings which gives us a better trained workforce.
