What Users Love About the App
“The customer service was great, and the entry was so easy. Max was very helpful through the entire set up process. We were very happy with the product overall. The teachers, students and parents also enjoyed the ease on their side as well. We vetted the program through the PTA and their feedback was excellent.”
“The entire NextThought team has been highly professional and responsive—helping us out every step of the way. Holding our hands when we needed it, and kicking us into action when THAT was needed. They have been very helpful and welcome addition to our vendor network.”
“The expertise, personalities, and can-do, helpful attitude of all staff were superb. Staff are super respectful, creative, and go WELL above and beyond in everything they do!”
“When looking for a product to take our event virtual Next Thought checked all of the boxes to make it a success! Set up was a breeze. We added videos, PDF’s, and more with just a few clicks. The platform was easy to use, technical support exceeded all expectations, and everyone who visited the site raved about our event!”
“I like the many different options we have related to customizing our courses – there are so many ways that we can structure our courses. Additionally, I like how easy the platform is for our learners to navigate – they very rarely have questions about how to complete their work.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“I do wish we had the ability to order the courses within our course catalog. I also wish there was a way to turn “off” the social preferences in case we do not want our clients communicating among themselves on the platform.”
“There are some site functionalities I would like to see changed or improved upon. For instance, it would be nice for there to be a reports access only role for facilitators. Additionally I would like to see a hierachy or rights/privledges built out for when state wide modules are created and used.”
“It would be nice if an evaluation form created could be used across the entire platform. I have to recreate the form for every session I want to use it for.”
“NT has some limited functionality, and if the course offerings are very complex a more robust platform may be more appropriate.”
“A missing feature is the ability for learners to keep a repository of documents they develop or work on associated w courses in the LMS. This would allow learners to continually access and work on a project (doc or slides) over the duration of a course – and choose when to have a course facilitator review and provide feedback.”
