itslearning LMS Reviews

“User friendly platform”

Pros

One thing we value most about itslearning is how well they listen to us and take the time to understand what we actually need as a customer. They are quick to respond and willing to adjust the platform to fit our requirements which has made the collaboration feel very productive. We've also had a continuous and constructive dialogue, particularly when it comes to course development and that has helped us keep improving the learning experience for our students. On top of that the platform is very user friendly and easy to navigate for both staff and learners.

Cons

At this point we really haven't come across any major issues. If there's one area we'd still like to see grow, it would be more advanced AI tools to better support both teaching and learning.

“useful activities, confusing navigation”

Pros

There's a nice range of activities you can build in it and being able to add external links, videos and other materials is really helpful. It also works well when adding students to multiple courses at the same time which saves effort.

Cons

Certain tasks require opening a new window because once you move forward, you cannot always go back afterward. That makes the platform feel less user friendly. On top of that some photos or links occasionally disappear and having to add them again is pretty frustrating.

“strong planning and support”

Pros

itslearning has grown into an amazing, enterprise-level LMS that works as a central hub for teaching leadership and quality assurance. One feature that really stands out is the Plans tool which gives course creators a clear way to map resources and learning objectives in a structured flow. That organizational strength is backed by an interface that is very user friendly even with how feature-rich the platform is, navigation stays user friendly enough for both experienced admins and first-time users to handle everyday tasks without much trouble. The platform is especially effective at encouraging interaction between students and teachers through tools like internal messaging and real-time feedback, helping online learning feel more connected and personal. On top of that their customer support has been outstanding. They genuinely listen to our feedback and make a real effort to meet our specific needs, offering responsive, people-focused help that makes a big difference when dealing with complex administration.

Cons

The biggest issue at the moment is accessibility for users with hearing or visual disabilities. It is clear the company recognizes these gaps and is working on updates but right now WCAG compliance is still a serious concern especially with inconsistent screen-reader support in older tools and no built-in automated captioning. As a result, even though the platform delivers a strong pedagogical experience, it still is not fully inclusive for every student which is a significant challenge for institutions that prioritize universal design.

“Great platform with good UX”

Pros

The platform is pretty easy to navigate and the overall user experience is good. It feels like a complete, well-designed solution rather than a collection of separate tools pieced together.

Cons

One issue is that it's difficult to communicate improvement ideas and have them heard. Integration with our Microsoft setup especially Teams and Outlook, is also fairly limited and the mobile app for parents needs a lot of work.

“fantastic lms tool”

Pros

Compared with many other LMS platforms I have used, itslearning is exceptionally user friendly for students, teachers and admin staff alike. The usability is honestly among the best I have seen and that really sets it apart in the market. It comes across as a very pedagogical, time-saving solution that helps both teaching and administration run more efficiently, so people can focus on learning instead of figuring out the technology. I also really appreciate how structured and systematic their approach to updates and improvements is because it leads to a platform that feels stable, reliable and consistently user friendly overall.

Cons

An area that could be improved is making the platform a bit more adaptable for vocational education. Because it is designed with simplicity in mind, there are moments when a few more options and choices would be welcome although at the same time, simplicity is also part of its strength.

“practical tracking for everyone”

Pros

It's a very practical LMS that lets teachers and the support team, including school leaders, monitor how learners are progressing. On top of that parents can also keep track of their child's development which is a real plus. The platform is simple to use and the interface can be adjusted at any time based on the learners' level, making the content more engaging and appealing.

Cons

The price is a bit high and the trial period is too short.

“course reuse is easy”

Pros

Reusing courses from one year to the next is really easy and it helps a lot to have a clear record of everything that was taught.

Cons

A few features still feel like they could be improved. The rich text boxes are not as user friendly as they should be and it would be nice to have drag-and-drop functionality along with Dropbox integration.

“Feature packed tool”

Pros

Using itslearning every day has made things much more manageable for me. I genuinely appreciate how user friendly it is and how many features it offers.

Cons

From time to time small bugs show up and support isn't always able to fix the issue quickly. There's also an ideas portal where you can submit suggestions for improvements but that doesn't mean they'll actually be developed. One thing I especially feel is missing is the ability to create checklists.

“Top platform for teaching”

Pros

This works well for both teachers and students. The layout is also easy to navigate and update and there are plenty of ways to customize and build content to fit different needs.

Cons

Reporting is the part that is less user friendly. When we need great statistics for principals to use in follow-up, we usually have to reach out to support.

“useful platform with room to grow”

Pros

At the beginning this product fit our needs really well. Over time though we noticed some of the modules we needed were either missing or not included in the platform. To their credit, itslearning has been adding new modules based on the needs we've had but the rollout of those updates could definitely happen faster.

Cons

It does not work very well for the lower grades in Swedish schools and seems better suited for higher education levels. The licensing is also annoying as even going over the limit by a small amount can lead to a much higher cost as a penalty.

“Pretty easy to setup”

Pros

It didn't take long at all to understand. It seems familiar especially with the itslearning office in Malmo and support cases are handled in a short amount of time.

Cons

One thing I'd still like is some kind of green light indicator to show when participants are online. It would also be nice to have more built-in digital features, like being able to record lectures directly in the platform instead of relying on PowerPoint.

“Tool has potential”

Pros

There's good potential here to build out more tools over time and the visual overview makes it easier to keep track of things at a glance.

Cons

Getting it installed and set up initially is a bit complicated and it feels like there's a lack of a clear model to follow.

“All in one learning hub”

Pros

Everything needed for teaching and learning can be brought together in one place, so it really works well as a central learning hub.

Cons

This tool works across all school levels but that broad middle-ground approach can sometimes feel like a drawback too.

“versatile tools for teaching”

Pros

Using it has been very easy. I can check my students' attendance in other courses, create groups, share digital materials and make good use of the asynchronous testing features. It also makes it simple to stay in touch with colleagues, students and staff.

Cons

Nothing noticeable comes to mind at this point, as we are not seeing any important tools or functionality missing.

“steady improvements makes it amazing”

Pros

itslearning is very easy to use and the course data analysis tools are genuinely useful. There are plenty of different features and functions to choose from which makes the platform flexible for different needs. Another big plus is that the company pays attention to customer feedback and keeps improving the product over time.

Cons

Some of the older, outdated features can still create occasional problems.

“Offers strong support”

Pros

This platform is very easy to use and it offers a lot of useful possibilities. The planning tool makes it much easier to keep a clear overview of the course and the Office 365 integration is something I really appreciate. Students also seem to value the mobile app quite a bit. On top of that the support team is very reliable and it's nice to see the product continuing to improve over time.

Cons

Setting up the automated integration with the student information system can be a bit time-consuming but thankfully the support team is helpful throughout the process.

“excellent fit for hybrid learning”

Pros

When we launched a new set of hybrid programs, itslearning ended up being exactly the right platform for the job. The O365 integration was especially valuable because students did not have to juggle multiple screens which made the system feel like a true one-stop hub for everything they needed. On the student side the layout is very easy to navigate and the ability to build more interactive pages with learning paths was incredibly helpful for scaffolding learning and giving students chances to practice skills before moving forward. From the admin and teacher side, it was just as user friendly and adding new content or enrolling students was simple, even for someone with very little experience. The student engagement tracking also gave us really useful insight and made it easier to step in quickly when support was needed. We did not end up needing to connect any other apps but the implementation team was consistently helpful throughout and I am confident they would provide the same level of support to any future customer.

Cons

Honestly it delivered everything we needed, so I do not really have any recommendations for improvement. If anything, one thing worth mentioning is how frequently the communications team shares updates and it is clear they are always working to improve the platform and keep it aligned with broader sector needs.

“Top course tools”

Pros

Getting around the platform is not a problem and managing courses feels simple and organized. It also connects well with external software which makes day-to-day use more convenient.

Cons

The reporting features could be improved in certain situations, as they don't always provide everything needed.

“Amazing progress tracker!”

Pros

We are so glad that all the communications with the childrens parents are so smooth and consistent. It is the main benefit of "learning" for us. There are numerous ways to contact parents and inform them of their childrens progress and what is happening in the classroom. All the documents can be downloaded, uploaded, and kept in one place.

Cons

What I would like them to improve is the learning part, which is not time-saving for the teachers. There are far too many issues, and many of the features they offer are not really needed for efficient classroom management.

“One of the best applications when it comes to education and communication!”

Pros

The capability of maintaining communication with parents is the main benefit of this software. There are numerous ways to contact parents and inform them of their childrens progress and what is happening in the classroom. The most effective way to monitor the kids development is to utilize standards-based grading.

Cons

It does require some setup time and some familiarity with the platform. Even after all that time has been invested in it, using the product requires some commitment.

“Makes for fun, remote learning; a few feature shortcomings.”

Pros

I have to use itsLearning when Im ill to make up for the work I would have missed on normal school days. Being able to ask the teacher to create tests for me when Im unwell is helpful because I might have important assessments coming up. The program, further, allows me to seamlessly connect with my professors and peers. When you visit the platform’s website, youll notice various page cards that will help you find a course quickly. You may simply locate a particular class using ClassLink, another helpful feature. Because it allows me to see upcoming deadlines, I particularly like the tool’s planner page. Through the settings, quizzes can also be taken, and they include multiple choice or lengthy response option alternatives.

Cons

There are a few drawbacks of the software, however. You can only fit so much information in it. Also, I’ve always had issues with itslearning on my schoo’sl WiFi. Constant and time-consuming updates are required for the program, for sure. Further, every time the server is down, the application crashes. In the messages area, outdated messages shouldnt be included in a distinct column, it would make more sense if we could either archive them or move them to trash.

“Useful software”

Pros

There's a really strong variety of supplemental materials in itslearning which makes it useful for adding extra work and supporting lessons.

Cons

That said I did feel that many similar extra resources could also be found for free elsewhere.

“Great resources for lessons”

Pros

One thing that really works well with this product is how many different types of resources I can add, from meetings and embedded content to videos and links for warm-up activities. It gives me a lot of flexibility when putting lessons together.

Cons

The part I don't care for is that the site spreads information across too many sections, like Overview, Plans and Resources. Students can easily click away and during at-home learning it's hard to guide them back especially when they already struggle with technology.

“assignment submission but too buggy”

Pros

Most of my classes were hosted on this platform and I mainly used it for submitting assignments.

Cons

It is quite limited in terms of how much information you can actually add. I used it back in high school but in college we switched to Blackboard and I definitely prefer Blackboard a lot more. Plus it also never seemed to work on the school Wi-Fi and it was down way too often. Overall it comes across as buggy and in need of a lot of fixes.

“Great shared learning hub”

Pros

Having one shared space where my students and I can connect for learning has been a real plus. We rely on the calendar to keep everyone on track and the messaging tool helps us stay in touch without any hassle. I can also share resources with the whole class and organize collections of learning materials so students can explore them whenever they need. As a teacher, time matters more than anything and itslearning is convenient enough that it gives me some of that time back so I can be more creative and enjoy the rest of my day.

Cons

I'd love to see this one become even more user friendly over time especially as the developers continue working closely with educators to better support our specific needs.

“google drive sync is a win”

Pros

Using the Google Drive integration has been a big plus because I can send a document to students and all of their edits are automatically saved into a folder for me to review and assess. The quick messaging feature is also really useful since it lets me communicate with students in a way that feels a lot like texting, while still staying within the school setting. On top of that the assessment tools work really well for adding digital tests and students can see their results right away which is very helpful.

Cons

One thing that bothers me is that the testing mode does not function on Chromebooks which means students can still open other tabs and search Google for answers while they are taking a test.

“helpful messaging, needs guidance”

Pros

One feature I really like is the instant messaging, since it gives students a way to ask questions even when class is over. Editing content is also pretty easy which makes updating materials much more convenient.

Cons

I'd really like to see more tutorials available so it's easier to understand all of its features better.

“Everything organized in one place”

Pros

Having both the Itslearning website and mobile app really helps keep everything together, so it's much simpler to stay on top of announcements and course content in one place. The assignment deadline column on the right, along with the events section and grade tab, does a good job of making sure nothing gets missed or forgotten.

Cons

Nothing major but I feel like communication would be much faster with an instant chat feature. Right now it works better for announcements and tracking assignments than for real-time conversations.

“reliable tools for classwork”

Pros

Right from the start this software has been dependable and consistently does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's accessible, packed with features and gives me everything I need to create, share and grade assignments for my classes without trouble. Those core tools perform really well and the many additional options are also functional and work just as advertised.

Cons

The thing that holds it back is that it's not always very easy for students to use. There are often extra steps to reach certain features and some parts feel repetitive. For instance I don't really see much benefit in having both groups and classes as separate options since they seem pretty similar.

“Decent for student communication”

Pros

It gives me a lot of flexibility when communicating with students which makes staying connected and sharing information much easier.

Cons

One issue is that plans sometimes get deleted randomly without any warning.

“comprehensive and user-friendly”

Pros

The software covers everything I need and is very easy to use.

Cons

I honestly haven't run into any real downsides with this software.

“frustrating exams and uploads”

Pros

Signing in is simple and that's honestly the only part that works well for me.

Cons

Uploading assignments is often a hassle and taking exams on this platform is a complete mess. Even after finishing an exam the results do not get posted. Overall this software has a lot of room for improvement.

“Digitized classroom that delivers”

Pros

Staying connected with teachers is much easier on itslearning. It lets students keep track of assignment deadlines, check grades, see announcements and monitor attendance all in one place. It really works like a virtual classroom and makes the whole learning process feel more digital organized and efficient.

Cons

One thing that could be better is assignment submission. Right now it only allows direct template uploads and I'd really prefer the option to upload an assignment in advance and schedule it to be submitted automatically at a set time. As that would give me room to make last minute edits if needed and help avoid forgetting to submit before the deadline.
