What differentiates Populi from other similar products?
It offers more features under one roof than other options.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
That we don't need other college management platforms or LMS software. Populi does it all.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some of the detailed reports we use for assessments of student learning and institutional effectiveness take a little longer than I would like. It works fine, I would like to see even more improvements in the area of easy-to-use, reliable reports for retention, graduation rates, compiled rubric scores, etc.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The basics are easy to learn and implement, but I recommend that you invest in ongoing training for your staff so that everyone makes the most of all the features and inputs data correctly and cosistently.
