Kierra G
Director
4.0

Kierra G: Hi, my name is Kierra, and I'm the director of an online music school. We serve kids ages four through 18, and we're a company of 15 to 30 people. Out of five stars, I give CYPHER Learning four. CYPHER is our first LMS that we actually went with, but we looked into Schoolology, and we looked into Google Classroom, but they just didn't have the look that we needed for our school. We decided to go with CYPHER Learning really for, okay, it was a number of things. First was the aesthetic. We love the educational vibe that it had. Then second was just all of the features that it had, with the gradebook and tracking, being able to create your own courses, and now with AI, the AI-assisted course creation, which is very helpful, but really, it was just the look of it was more so what we were looking for. Schoolology and Google Classroom, they have similar functionality, but it's just the look, it just wasn't really what we were looking for. Then, of course, all the features, with AI being able to assist in course creation, because we are about creating self-paced courses, it just really is really helpful. Integrating CYPHER Learning was relatively easy. Anyone can do it, but there is a slight learning curve when it comes to customization of features, but it is really simple. We have a tech person on our team, so they were able to walk us through what was needed and what needed to happen. I would say, if you don't have a tech person on your team, if your team is smaller, you will be able to figure it out. It's not too complicated to where you need that point person, but it is a bit of a learning curve if you're not used to having to go through customization features. For those of you who are considering CYPHER Learning for your business, I would highly recommend it. I would just make sure that your audience and your target market is suitable for their aesthetics. It's great for the older learner, adult learner, collegiate learner. I would say the youngest, maybe middle, high school. That's one of the cons about it for us is we serve younger and older students. For our younger students, the aesthetic isn't as lively and bubbly for that age group, but it's great for our older kids. They love it. We've had to really use all of the customization features we can to get it for the younger age group. If you serve older learners, then I think it's great. I think it's really simple to use once you, it is a learning curve at first, especially if you're not used to an LMS, but once you get how they have their system laid out, it's pretty simple to use. Then their tech support is also pretty spot on.

Sean K
Head of Schools
4.0

Sean: Hi, I'm Sean, Head of Schools. I give Sibme a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. So the problem we're trying to solve with Sibme is coaching of our teachers. And so we allow Sibme to serve as our platform to be able to video our teacher's meetings, classroom instruction, and then use those videos to really break it down and to coach from. Two things I really love about Sibme. One is the weekly emails. They give us an update for each of our campuses that allow us to know how many observations and how many videos were uploaded. The second thing I love about Sibme is the ease of use. Super easy to use. Great interface. And it's easy for teachers and for school leaders. The one thing I don't like about Sibme is just the use of pause, fast forward a little bit, rewind a little bit, just the ease of functioning when it comes to being able to see certain parts of the video. And to be able to maneuver that with ease back and forth and slide, it is the one thing I don't like about Sibme.
