Brightspace vs Lightspeed Classroom Management: Which is a better fit?

Yash C.: Hi, my name is Yash. I'm a student and I give Brightspace a rating of four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I use Brightspace for my day-to-day academic activities. Whether it's browsing through a course or learning new modules, Brightspace provides me with an extensive range of services, whether it's uploading assignments to instructors through the Dropbox option in Brightspace or downloading a PowerPoint which the instructor has done with voice over. The best part about Brightspace is the user interface. The programs and courses are listed in the main menu, and it's just very easy to browse through them. Moreover, one thing that I really like about Brightspace is that instead of emailing assignments to instructors individually, we can just go into Brightspace and use the Dropbox option to upload our assignments, which makes our work easier. One thing that I think Brightspace should change is, this is something that I've encountered with my courses after the pandemic when everything moved online, so our instructors used to do voice over PowerPoints and used to upload it on Brightspace and then we used to access it and go through them. I just feel that the PowerPoint user interface is a little bit old and it needs to be updated.

Kate E.: Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a content marketing manager. And I would rate Livestorm four out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. Before we were using Livestorm, we used Crowdcast. And honestly, it worked fine for some of our live demos, but I wanted something a little bit more interactive and easier to track. So, basically, easier to track when people would sign up from different sources, whether that was email, or social media, or our website. And Livestorm gave us all that tracking capability. At the end of every webinar, we could track where somebody came from, and then pretty much all of their information, and it would just sink it into our CRM. Livestorm really provided everything that we needed. It's definitely a wonderful platform. If you're doing events with multiple sessions or events with a single session, like webinars. There are some more expensive software out there for bigger events, but Livestorm is the best for those one-off events, like webinars, and that's really why we went with them. They're very affordable. It was incredibly easy getting started with Livestorm. The whole system is very intuitive, and they have a wonderful support system. We did have a call with somebody who helped us with onboarding. And then, honestly, after the fact, if I had any questions, it was really easy to reach out to them. And they would even reach out on a regular basis just to make sure everything was working properly. So, like I said earlier, if you have any events that are larger than either a one off or a series of events, say you're trying to do an online conference with multiple sessions, Livestorm may not be for you. But if you're looking for the best webinar tool out there, Livestorm is the one.
