Here are some scenarios based on my experience where HackerEarth Assessments is well suited,
Straightforward tool and the learning curve is not at all steep so getting new employees onboarded on the tool is smooth.
Job Description related questionnaire library is conducive for quickly setting up
The coding platform is really good, it gives solid ide and amazing debugging abilities for the people being assessed
Their support of different types of assessments be it programs or MCQs is really flawless and quite impressive.
Basically I didn't find any such situations where it didn't perform according to what it is intended to. One thing I would just point out that their pricing strategy could be improved, like it is on the higher side for small scale companies
Pearson Revel is probably best suited for distance learning of large sections where there is little time for discussion and grading assignments manually is prohibitive. I would prefer not to use it with small classes and traditional classes.
Unfortunately, there are some videos that do not play, or situations where the video does not match the question content. These are bugs that should be attended to by Pearson, but although I have reported them (along with students), they have not been remedied.
Instructors who would prefer to use only the digital text do not have the option to purchase the text without the platform.
Because the text and software are integrated, there are no "page numbers" as in other digital texts which makes it hard to reference a particular section in a lecture, assignment, or presentation.
Compared to HackerRank, HackerEarth Assessments offers a similar coding assessment platform with a focus on tailored challenges for technical hiring. While both platforms assess coding skills, HackerEarth Assessments excels in remote evaluation and diversity outreach. There wasn't the much of a difference, but the UI of HackerEarth was nicer and we got a better price.
In my opinion, McGraw-Hill Connect is by far much better than Pearson Revel. It has more functionality. I think the McGraw-Hill SmartBook is better than the Pearson Revel (which is merely a reading app). The SmartBook allows instructors customization and it helps students to master the materials better than just a reading app. In my experience, McGraw-Hill provides exception customer support. They always reply to my questions in a timely manner. I have used both Pearson Revel and McGraw-Hill Connect and I will have to say that I will not be going back to use Pearson Revel.
NEGATIVE: The platform is less expensive than a printed text, but students can use OER's for free. This is especially important at the community college level where students tend to have less financial resources for education.
NEGATIVE: After the course completes, the student has nothing to use as a reference. They cannot go back and view the content, nor can they print any of the content.
NEGATIVE: The student pays for the learning platform and content which includes a large number of activities and resources. While this seems to be a positive thing, students (and instructors) can get overwhelmed with the number of activities and resources available. Some students won't use any of the resources at all.
