    I teach 5th/6th grade math and science, but I love finding fun books to explain science and math concepts using books that keep the students engaged. I can make sure to give them several options on their reading level to choose from and know I am meeting a majority of my students needs because they can listen to other book be read if they so choose. My students have learned so much from science graphic novels!

    Awesome tool for teams looking to gain new skills or refine and update existing skills. I love the convenience of using this tool for recertification credits (i.e. PMP). Instead of identifying which classes I need to take, I can identify my interests and have recommendations presented for what paths I should take. It is a really helpful tool to create ladders for my team to transition from one role into the next. I think this is going to be a really beneficial tool.

    Pros

    • Because the program has the capacity to read to the students, they get a to hear a good role model which helps develop fluency and accuracy in their reading.
    • It is easy to access and helps keep students on track with their reading goals.

    • Pluralsight has hundreds of authors that are constantly producing new content, which is valuable for the tech industry that is constantly moving at a brisk pace.
    • Many content authors are respected leaders in the topic they're presenting. You are able to trust that their content is thorough and authentic.
    • Niche expert-level topics are presented in a curated video format which is difficult to find anywhere else.

    Cons
    Renaissance Learning
    • I could never figure it out.
    • Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON.
    • The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers.
    • I am fairly tech-savvy, but I could never navigate through and understand how myON worked. Eventually, I gave up and switched to Epic.
    • The book selection was poor. Only the non-fiction books were interesting to my students. None of the popular titles and authors were available.
    • It was a big disappointment and frustration for me and my students.

    • Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example.
    • Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view.
    • Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature.
    • I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application.

    I believe this product provides students with faster and easier access to books. This increases their time spent on task reading. myON reader is a product that is great for students and teachers.
    If there are any issues and concerns while using myON, there are many help resources available to offer assistance.
    myON Reader works so well with the rest of the Renaissance Platform. This consistency is great for everyone!

    Each feedback I do for them, I get no response. Minimal communication and followups!

    Renaissance myON is hands down the best as compared to Epic. I am allowed to consistently monitor my students. I am able to print reports to help evaluate student progress. I can also use these reports during parent/teacher conferences so parents and guardians can see where their student is throughout the year. They are able to see how their interests change along with how the reading level improves.

    Before using Pluralsight, staff was using YouTube to help them with developing certain aspects of their knowledge. However, YouTube is much less structured/organized than Pluralsight. Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content. One quick search and we can get started.

    Return on Investment
    Renaissance Learning
    • Students continued to read on their level and were motivated by all of the books being an AR book with a quiz and points to earn.

    • One positive impact is it has kept our employees engaged in the material they work with every day. Instead of becoming stagnant and complacent, they are actively searching out ways to develop skills and do more with the tools available to them.
    • It saves money when it comes to offering training and development opportunities company-wide. It would be much more costly to invest in specialized training for that number of employees.
    • One potential negative is the amount of company time spent on coursework over work responsibilities. A balance must be struck and individuals should be encouraged to explore the training on their own time.
