CYPHER Learning Erfahrungen

It inculcates many features that transfers the real life classroom into an LMS portal. The last seen sessions of students, the various assignment formats and clear grading system are what I love the most.

It is very complex to be used, it needs a lot of practise and support to get the actual knowledge of.

It's our one stop shop for managing training, whether it's online or in a classroom. Before using Matrix we spent a lot of time managing classroom training. Users can self enrol, we can manage waitlists and assessments can be uploaded for marking, providing an excellent audit trail.
We can also manage multiple brands within the one portal, which is both a cost saving and saves on administration effort.

There was a hefty price rise about 2 years after we started using it. It's still reasonable value for money, but it left us in an awkward position if we didn't get approval for the extra funds, as we would have had to move learning portals again, which is a big effort. However, they did ease us into the change and we appreciate that enormously.

It's great for school use as long as instructors know how to use it. It's got all of the basic functions and great dynamic user access capabilities.

Configuration items are very non intuitive - it takes so long to figure out at what level do I need to visit the configurations to make changes to a course. The text editor is also limited, as are the media types available.

The LMS is easy to navigate. Classes and folders can be customized and lessons are easily synced to child classes. Progess is easily tracked.

Attendance can still be improved if date ranges can be customized and counted per quarter or semester. It's quite time consuming to input dates one by one.

Ease in organizing assessments. Neo provided a virtual platform to organize assessments for student learning thru their assignments feature.

The attendance. It would've been better if we can divide the dates into quarter/grading period.

NEO has it all! I've a course creator and content integrator since 1996 and I can create academic solutions for an entire region, district and schools. NEO allows me to measure student performance across each boundary and create a community of learning among all stakeholders. NEO has very powerful tools that goes beyond the regular institution administration and operation, this is a holistic education tool!

As an educator and technology user in the classroom need to have off-line capability so in countries like mine where electricity is not a constant student can keep working while there is no connectivity and resume once they are back within the range of our net coverage.

I love how clean the interface is. It is very easy to manage or navigate around. Parents and students have found using this system is intuitive and very user friendly!

One con comes to mind and that is the lack of features available to the Small Schools package. There should be a tier introduced that is between the Small School and Enterprise that allow a few more features for smaller schools that cannot afford the Enterprise package to be able to us or offer some sort of al-la-carte for all the features offered on the Enterprise package.

There are various kinds of assignments that can be given to students and they are easy to keep track.

The attendance cannot be modified according to what the school needs.

Ease of Use, easy navigation, and others.

Limited Apps in App Center that can be integrated with NEO such as respondus lockdown browser and monitor. The created lessons can not be downloaded and converted to a word and/or PDF that will be readily available to our students' option of asynchronous modular class.

Giving varied activities and having an organized gradebook makes it very simple to use

Attendance log is not customizable according to the school's desired format.

We use this LMS for our K-12 school for teachers and students. I like the ease of duplicating courses from one year to another and the ability to have multiple teachers per course.

The calendar doesn't integrate well with iPhones and I've been restricted to desktop/ laptop use. I'd also like to have a better way to give feedback to submissions than what is currently available.

We used Matrix in my previous job, functionality wise it is one of the best, you can do almost anything you need for you business.

Not the easiest software to use BUT when you get used to it it's great (like most software solutions) the support (at least in our region) was not the best, it took weeks sometimes to get mini bugs fixed.

Ability to give access to adjunct staff, off-site, and cross department staff to create courses. Nice canvas for creating leasson. Customer support is very responsive and good!

The online documentation is too simplistic. There needs to be some more advanced documentation for power users or administrators. The options for setting up and administering tests could be improved.

This software is highly recommended. What I liked the most is that this software is all in one.

For me, every part of this software is essential for us.

It's easily accessible for students and faculty. The grading system and blogging sites are excellent.

The cutoff for student cost is high.

Once you learn the program, it has many helpful features.

It's difficult to find answers on the program itself. I rely on colleagues for help. The grading settings can be particularly confusing.
