Pathwright

What do you like best?

I was first introduced to Pathwright through Ligonier Connect which used this platform for its online courses. It immediately caught my attention, as an online course creator, since it was very easy to use and artistically beautiful. The "path" layout makes immediate sense to users—it is very obvious what tasks to do in which order. Some other LMS software requires users to visit numerous pages (calendar, schedule, forums, etc) to complete assignments but Pathwright lays it all out in a literal path which makes it easy to create and complete assignments.

What do you dislike?

It was inevitable, but Pathwright has increased its pricing structure since I started using it, making it unaffordable for a business my size. I believe that they have a scholarship plan that you can apply for and may give a discounted rate to schools, nonprofits, and charitable groups. But that is the only thing holding me back at this point.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Pathwright's support, especially their live chat, is INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend reaching out as soon as you run into a problem because they treat you very well and get back to you with answers very quickly. Although the program itself is easy to use, their support makes it even easier to get the answers you need so there is no need to dig around on Google or forums to try to find answers.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Online education is the new normal and Pathwright makes it very easy to convert offline course content to online course material. Most importantly, it makes it very easy for students who are unfamiliar with online coursework to jump right in without having to devote large amounts of time learning how to navigate and use a LMS.
