Edmodo

Pros

The user interface is very friendly (because its based in the UI of Facebook), so people get used to it very easily. I also like all the features that this platform offers.

Cons

Its a little bit tricky to use at the beginning even for the administrator if you don't have to much knowledge about it.

Reasons for Switching to Edmodo

Pros

My favorite feature is by far the Discover section. A huge range of resources are grouped by subject, and within the subject, it tags each video or resource for elementary, middle, or high school. Teachers can rate as helpful, which cuts my time searching for resources in half. I love that I can browse leisurely, or quickly search and evaluate a resource if I need something last minute to fill some time.

Cons

While I love the fact that they just added a new daily agenda feature, it is a little too bulky for my liking. It's great that a teacher can add documents and links and whatnot, but I would prefer a slimmer, daily schedule just so students can see the general timeframe of our day. I can create that, but it's honestly easier to just make a post with that information than to spend the time filling in the agenda feature.

Pros

is one of the successful actors of online education (lms-learning management systems). The interface is very simple and useful. After completing the necessary procedure, you can become an approved teacher and classes are created. When the code given when the class is created is given to the students, all of them can register for that class, file sharing can be done from both the computer and the existing library. One of the most beautiful applications is the exam application, multiple choice, short answer, matching, correct-answer, open-ended questions can be created and hundreds of students can participate. can be provided. The results of the exams can be taken in detail and exam analyzes with success percentage and response time indicator can be created with a single click. Motivation can be increased by giving badges to students for their achievements.

Thousands of educators who teach in the same fields around the world can be contacted and information and materials can be shared.

Cons

proficient notifications and alert system are understaffed, there should be more options for feedback on assignments and tasks

Pros

As is the case with most LMS apps out there, Edmodo does a nice job shifting from paper-digital, and giving students and teachers a platform to help manage and stay organized in the digital space. The fact that you can do a lot with the free platform is a big plus and educators Everything updates in real time, and is simple enough to put together your digital needs in one space.

Cons

To me, unlike some other LMS apps out there, Edmodo is limited. It doesn't have the modern or sleek look and design as others. It also doesn't have as interactive capability to embed a number of other apps/tools that teachers use daily into it. This is a must have when it comes to the digital classroom space. The more we can limit sending links and have one program integrate everything else into it, the better classroom management will be. I would also like to see some integrated features like virtual chats/video conferencing, and more enhanced lesson design features.

Pros

From the first year of university we've had online classes, my university used Edmodo as an LMS. As a student, I also took so much time at Edmodo. It was easy to track all your lessons, exams, quizzes and tasks for students. Also, attendance tracking, task tracking and communication with students were so much easy for lecturers. It helps to organise all online sources

Cons

It was really slow sometimes, but it could be because of the university's servers maybe.
