Echo360 Pricing Overview

Echo360 is our chosen solution for lecture capture at our institution. It offers active learning features and analytics that the faculty find extremely helpful for delivery of asynchronous content, and synchronous classes equally use it for polling and review options. From an institutional perspective, Echo offers us an affordable cloud-based solution for video storage, which would otherwise not be feasible in our LMS. Additionally, we have had an excellent experience with support needs, as their support team has consistently addressed needs quickly, including feature requests.

While it is beneficial to have more than one integration option for Echo360, some of them can be technically clunky, requiring multiple clicks and back end work, particularly when trying to use video across multiple semesters and having to clone sections. It can prove to be a steep learning curve for many faculty. The B2 to LTI needs have been somewhat slow, also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is integrated into PowerPoint for seamless polling through a software application I'm using everyday anyway. Once students have done there part the usage is very stable. I also like that I can upload quizzes right after class in about 2 minutes. One unexpected advantage of daily quizzes has been the ability to see who is struggling and have a pattern of performance (attendance, scores, etc.) when engaging in correction or intervention. I use a few of the advanced features at times, but even just sticking with the basics has become a strength of the class. The energy rises when the bar graph shows 50/50 on a true/false. Sometimes I reveal a winner, sometimes I will quickly repoll and say "convince someone your right!" and more often than not the correct answer comes in at a higher percentage.

Customer support has generally been strong over my time using the program. New student videos for how to register have come in timely manner. In addition, I've literally sent problem session files and had experts help me out. I've used it for many years and have never felt like I've been left without a solution.

I'm sure everyone has there wish list of additional features. My current top three are to be able to set a session value instead of just a question value so I could consistently say that each daily quiz is 15 points. Currently it depends on how many questions I ask or I need to manually adjust each question. Secondly, I wish it could scatterplot but that may be a PowerPoint limitation. Finally, I wish it would tell me who is answering in the room vs. remote. I do want sick students to stay home, but I'd like to be able to see any patters of concern.
