A step back from eCollege - Disappointing

What do you like best? It looks nice, but when you go under the hood it's lacking. Every time we ask about something that doesn't work the way we need it to, we're basically told to live with it. Very disappointing.

What do you like best? Course Calendar, overall appearance of Daylight as well as the flexibility and customization you can do for things such as course announcements, awards/badges/certificates, intelligent agents and replacement strings. Large amount of integration options from third party applications.
What do you dislike? Discussion forums are poorly designed and do not proved a seamless experience for the end user. The individual tool settings can be hard to understand and use - as well as some settings are redundant. There is no automatic creation of grade items when an assessment tool is created (i.e. dropbox, discussion board etc.) - must manually link and create each item in the grade book separately.

Brightspace provides the main features of an lms, but requires redundant setup of common features.

What do you like best? I like the content area and the ability to create and organize modules.
What do you dislike? I do not like that common graded items are not automatically linked to the grade book. I also do not like that there are not more bulk edit features for assigning the same date range to a group of items.

Excellent tools & flexibility, with vast 3rd party integration, in a strong and stable environment

What do you like best? Rubrics, checklists, integrated course calendars with personal calendars, intelligent agents - the whole suite is highly flexible to multiple course situations.
What do you dislike? The text-based discussion forums with poor grading experience. It is the current weak link of all LMS, not just D2L. Waiting for the next iteration - predicting this will be the next big area they improve, .

Easy, basic LMS

What do you like best? Ease of use and input of courseware
What do you dislike? The grading system should be linked throughout. If you create an artifact in the Discussions, it should link all of your rubrics to Grading as well. This can be done, if you follow defined steps, but would be easier if any selection would automatically populate the other parts.
