What do you like best?
Softchalk Cloud lessons integrate easily with our Learning Management System, and they allow interactive, self-grading activities to engage students with the content. The lessons are extremely customizable and easy to develop for most faculty.
What do you dislike?
There are times when Softchalk Cloud formatting can be glitchy. There have been times when content has been lost when the desktop editor freezes between times it is saved. There are times when it is necessary to code in HTML in order to make necessary formatting changes, and many faculty do not have that knowledge or ability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to make use of the Softchalk Cloud Tutorials included on their website. They are excellent and some of the most thorough tutorials of any company I have seen in the field of education.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
A problem with developing online content is finding engaging, interactive learning activities to go along with the subject matter. Softchalk has a large variety of activities, such as quizzes, crossword puzzles, matching activities, and others that are customizable to the content.
