Their platform is excellent and i highly recommend it, its the service I get from [sensitive content hidden] and the team that i love.
Lack of Hot spot or drag and question and answers.
The platform is rapidly improving with more features and improved User/Admin Interfaces. Easily the best Learning Platform I have worked with or interacted with as a Student.
There is inherent lack of end-user integration, common to all on-line courses.
Always extremely helpful and happy to go that extra mile. They really have managed to take their technology to the next level with their amazing service.
Synap: the constant certainty in an uncertain strange world.
Intuitive student user-experience and high quality on-boarding. Outstanding support for customising the platform for our use in a pilot study.
Occasionally it may take time for requests to be fulfilled but this is only a slight annoyance, the standard at which they are fulfilled completely outweighs the negative of this.
Does what it says on the "box" by effectively locking down the environment. Seamless integration with various LMS systems and integration seamless.
As a teacher or anyone relaying on this software to prevent cheating, you can rely on LockDown Browser to impede it within the same device of the test application.
It was really a good tool to conduct proctoring online and helped save time and resources which would have been spent in another conventional setup.
The connection was terrible. Several times I was kicked out of assignments and not able to reenter.
I am a student and I like Lockdown because it is easy to download and use.
Encounter some problem when browser is running. Get crash sometime but not a big issue.
Good experience, and trustworthy software for students and teachers.
I don't like that Lockdown can't be used on a Chromebook.
Speaker 1: I'm Elise, technical trainer at a 200-person company and I rate Synap five stars. Before Synap, we were using Brainshark and it worked fine for our internal training, but I do technical training and in order to have a technical certification program, we really need timed tests to show fluency in our program. And our previous program wasn't able to do that, but Synap was able to do that plus more. We chose Synap because it had all of the features that we wanted. One extra bonus was that Synap comes with 24/7 support, where I can just really quick chat someone and say, "Hey, this looks weird, or how do I do that?" And I almost immediately get an answer maximum within 24 hours. So I've absolutely loved the support that we get with it, plus being able to distribute materials to my trainees as well as distribute exams to them quickly, efficiently, and it's easy for them to use as well. The UI is simple from an admin side as well as from an end user side. Getting started with Synap was really, really simple. I think it took us a grand total of 15 minutes to get it up and running once we got it purchased. So we got it purchased, got it set up, and the bulk of the setup was just me moving my materials into Synap, which luckily we could do all through imports. So as long as I had everything in a spreadsheet, which I already did, I could quickly import all of my test questions. I had a whole bunch of videos that I quickly uploaded and we were good to go. So compared to other softwares I've worked with, it was very, very fast to get going. The advice that I would have is to make sure that you check out both the collections as well as the courses because it did have two different ways that you can distribute your materials. We ended up going with collections. Courses probably work better for some people, but honestly it has been so easy to get going with Synap that if you're looking for something that is quick and simple from both an admin and an end user side and something that has timed exams and a lot of features with those exams, like being able to pull from buckets of questions, I would definitely look at Synap.
