Most college students are on a tight budget. > > Overall MindTap is an easy to use software for online learning. ----- ### "Mobile, Accessible, and Inclusive" — 5.0/5 > **Ella** | *June 12, 2022* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The read aloud option is perfect for those who struggle with sight. Being able to change font made it accessible to a wider audience as well. I was able to use it online and on the app on any device (phone, laptop, etc.) without any troubles. It is very mobile, accessible, and inclusive for all. > > **Cons**: I did not like how I had to sign back into MindTap every time I turned off a device without logging out of it. It was annoying and not necessary because security of MindTap was not a worry of mine. > > Perfect for everyone\! A universal product that can be adapted to suit all. It has the ultimate features to enhance your learning experience. ----- ### "Do not use Mindtap if at all possible." — 1.0/5 > **Christopher** | *June 16, 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is literally nothing to like about this software. > > **Cons**: The labs are constantly broken. The lab instructions are often incomplete, the virtual machines are very slow and need updates and are not maintained. This particular semester the labs are more broken than average. Average is pretty broken but usually the labs are able to be completed once you fight through the horrible lag and unmaintained virtual machines. This semester I am on module 4 and so far due to constant contact with tech support and many tickets getting escalated to the dev team, one single lab on the track has worked as intended. I have used many e learning systems and cengage is always the worst and most problem ridden. I start my work as early as possible because I know I will encounter either a broken lab or incomplete directions. They have a silly rule that they cannot simply provide you with the missing instructions. I start early so that maybe they can get it fixed before the due date comes around. My instructor has basically suspended due dates for this semester due to the labs being so horribly broken. The first lab that had a ticket due to missing instructions, they finally fixed it. Well the "new and improved" instructions still wont allow you to complete the lab. I am very careful about errors on my labs and copy and paste the required commands into the labs. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. Unfortunately for me it is required for my course. I will intermediately drop any course that requires Cengage from here on out. ----- ### "Cengage MindTap" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 18, 2019* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cengage is easy to setup and integrate with Blackboard Learn. The instructor can easily select the content they want for their course and make changes on the fly. Gradebook integration is (mostly) seamless. Perhaps the best feature of Cengage is their tech support/customer service. Our sales rep is very knowledgeable and is often our first point of contact when it comes to troubleshooting. Other Publisher Software companies will continuously "pass the buck" when it comes to tech support, but Cengage tech support takes ownership and works with you to find a solution. > > **Cons**: MindTap can be a bit glitchy when using an older machine. Making sure your system is constantly up to date can help alleviate some of the issues. > > Great product, excellent customer service/tech support. ----- ### "A Good Homework Program" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 22, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how they give questions integrated with the textbook as it makes learning the material so much easier. Moreover, I love how they give unlimited attempts for questions. > > **Cons**: There are sometimes lots of bugs that will mess up answers, and there is a lack of customization. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129885/coursemaster?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129885/coursemaster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
