Renaissance Learning
The students love to work with Lalilo. They love to earn the badges, treasures, and stories. I love that I can look at the reports and see if my students are proficient, or still needing help in specific areas. Lalilo is a great way to reward students for at the end of each week for working hard throughout the week.

It's suited well to support on developing a project and following a set curriculum to get things and material in order. Also it has the idea of a nano-degree as the mini-certification to focus on working through a program over a course of a few months. It's more of an interactive course and best for having access for a set period of time. It helps to prepare well for exams but less beneficial when it comes to more applications I find, and should not be used to supplant any resource, but to use in conjunction with.

Cons
Renaissance Learning
  • I like the progression that the students go through in order to practice concepts they are struggling with, but I wish they had videos or some way other way for the students to practice other than just asking questions.

  • Quiz questions in some cases could be made clearer. I didn't feel the questions were always phrased in a way that I could easily understand what was being asked.
  • Requests for support can sometimes take a very long time to get resolved.
  • Cost structure changed from a fixed-price model to a subscription-only model, and prices are significantly increased as such.

Usability
Renaissance Learning
Students can easily access through their shared password storage for instantaneous login. I have never had an issue with them getting kicked off or having content that doesn't fit a need.

They are already very good. But, would be great if Udacity improves the area of standardizing offline projects and exercises so that people could attempt to work offline. Including documentation on how to do it. More practical or real-world projects to choose and work on after course completion. Maybe a community can do it.

I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

Lalilo is a helpful program for our struggling readers. It gives an alternative to LLI, SRA, or OG - which are all utilized within our elementary settings

I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

Return on Investment
Renaissance Learning
  • For a student who only knew 18 alphabet letters when beginning Lalilo, the student has increased overall performance to recognizing 80% of the "ut" family of words.
  • Students in grades 3 and 5 are increasing their reading levels from K and 1 to the end of year 2.

  • I am already in a great position as a CTO with a great company. I hope to be able to build some new technology with what I am learning, but I haven't applied any of it yet to my own real-world problems. I will though.
