Top Rated itslearning Alternatives
Itslearning provides a great layout to access your courses, message teachers, participate in group discussions with the discussion posts, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From my location, itslearning can sometimes be really slow. I think it is because the nearest server for us is congested or does not have enough bandwidth. If this was resolved, it would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can see exactly when students log in and how long they have spent on every activity. I especially love the progress reporting done on the students and the class as a whole. I particularly like how easy it is to integrate with other programs like Google Classroom and so many other apps. It is super easy to create tasks and plans. A great feature is how itsLearning will grade it all for you (with the exception of written responses). In addition, it pours right into my grade book. The communication link to message students is easy also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not as easy to jump into as Google classroom - but I attribute that to it has so many more features. It also is not the easiest to set up and maneuver through. It can be confusing to set up and for kids to follow. I found difficulty with how to view individual student items but I found a way - just took a lot of practice.

The student view appeared to work well. Students could see what they needed to complete, as well as find classes easily. I liked that the courses were large color coded blocks, this was easy for students to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without proper training, parents had difficulty using itslearning to find and check assignments. Files were sometimes difficult to find and open, and sometimes did not work. From the teacher side, it was extremely hard to use. There were multiple nonsensical steps needed to complete in order to upload documents, create lesson plans, and open plans that were previously uploaded by curriculum coaches and district office.

A few of my favorite things are online tests, Google Integration, and assignments. With online tests, it cuts down on my grading time and my students like immediate feedback. Google integration has made it easy for students to complete a Google assignment and it organizes it in a Google folder in my drive rather than students having to share all of their copies with me. I also like that I can add anything on Itslearning and my class has immediate access. It makes learning much more efficient. With assignments, I like that I can give quick feedback verbally or written out. Anther thing that I really like is being able to hyperlink everything in the tree because we are currently on week 23 and we have a folder for each week, a folder for each day inside of that, and a page for each class inside of that, which is all neatly linked on the homepage for them.

I dislike that Testing mode does not work on our school Chromebooks, so there is a worry of students opening other tabs and cheating during tests. I also dislike that when making copies of a folder to use for a different week, I have to go in and individually "create own copy" of the pages. I wish that there was an option for automatically creating separate copies when making the copy of the entire folder. This takes a lot of time when copying an entire week's worth of class pages over.

I like the fact that I can view who submitted one and at what time very easily. I also like the fact that I can put in due dates and my students can have that populated on their task bars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don’t like the fact that if you create a test and making mistake, you cannot fix the mistake on the answer key once the students have already taken the test. Therefore, you must go in there and manually re-score. Also, when you add a rubric to a test, the rubric appears on top of an essay for example. You cannot score the essay and click on the rubric because it’s in the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
E-learning in general is great and this platform has a simple design which is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a lot of annoying bugs which makes me tired and frustrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Finally! I have been in education for over 20 years, I am so thankful to finally have a system that connects me to students in a way that helps us all learn and grow together. I really enjoy messaging the students and having a platform for them to message me their questions, concerns, and comments as well. I can share learning materials with them and assess them on itslearning as well. Having access to learning materials is a huge obstacle that itslearning helps us to overcome, so thank you from a classroom teacher who benefits from using itslearning every day.

I dislike when we have snow days from school instead of e-learning days because itslearning makes elearning days a snap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything is centrally located! Having students turn in assignments, projects, & tests/quizzes digitally makes grading so much faster! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Requires students to have internet access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The messaging feature is a great way for my high school students to address concerns or ask questions and then receive answers from the teacher. Download the itsLearning app and allow notifications in your phone settings. This way my students can have access to instructional material but I do not have to share my personal contact information.

I don’t care for the way that all my class info hav to be accessed through the “resources” tab. I liked having a home page for students to land on. I still have that but I had to create it under the resources tab and then fix the settings for the way students view it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use ItsLearning to organize my class resources and enjoy the "plan" feature where I can organize the daily materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ItsLearning is missing a level of intuitive design for those using modern technology. Most of the program feels like it is an Excel spreadsheet rather than an LMS. There are no accent or special character features, which means there has to be a lot of copy/paste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
