Very powerful system. Lots of great stuff "under the hood" for admin staff.
Verified reviewer
- Clearly created by people who understand and are interested in *real* online learning
- Everything in one place - including a home for you video-conferences and off-net meetings - demonstrating that they think of the student and not just their own software/system
- Not just a "collection of videos shoved into an online folder"
- A proper system
- Exceptional support - lovely people with whom to conduct business
- The student interface looks dated (Dec 2017)
- To be fair to Digital Chalk they know this
- I understand they have a major refresh planned, so by the time you read this that may have already happened

Digital Chalk Self Guided Our Orientations
Overall DigitalChalk has been an amazing decision for our company, from the demo to implementation we have had positive experiences all the way around. We are excited to start having our onboarding staff participate in a self guided orientation!
We loved the ease of use and how it's built only for what you need and not all of the fluff an extra stuff that you can get bogged down in
There isn't much we don't like about DigitalChalk however if there is an area of improvement we would love for it to be more fully integrated with our payroll software system
Why they chose it
"The overall presentation during the demo felt much more aligned with our companies culture and the pricing was much more cost effective for a company of our size."

Difficult to Navigate
Frustrating and not well organized, the search functionality is really poor. When we told our franchisees we were switching to another learning platform they literally cheered.
- The terminology (courses, completion, etc) is fairly easy to learn, and the menu is pretty clear overall
- The customer service people are lovely
- The search function isn't functional
- I spend a lot of my time fielding questions from our owners and teachers about how to find the things they need, and on the flip side of that I often run into errors loading materials that mean I need customer support

A+ Online Education Software
Our online diabetes education course is offered in the English language in the country of India, and in Spanish in the Central American Region. Our previous platform was astronomically expensive to host. After the one time small vendor fee, the platform costs the course fee that is paid by the students as they purchase the course. It couldn't be easier, or more cost effective. Revenue is processed monthly by DigitalChalk and wired directly to our bank account. Simple reports on the courses purchased are easy to generate for our accounting team to appropriately credit the revenue to the right program.
- I love that it is so easy to build my own courses, receive feedback, grade assignments, and conduct needed reports on finances and student progress
- I also love that when I write to the support team, they always respond within an hour or less
- They are so helpful with links and screen shots of exactly what to do to fix a problem, and at times they've made corrections on my behalf
- There really isn't anything I do not like about the software
Switched From
The other company's software was very difficult to manage. We had to hire a consultant to run reports and manage the courses because it was so complicated. In addition it was very expensive. DigitalChalk is simple to manage, operate, and administer as well as extremely cost effective.
Why they chose it
"Features available, low cost, user friendly nature of the software"

Simply great
Been using it for 5 years now to create online training courses for asynchronic learning. In love with the product, does everything I need.
- Easy to use effective and great value for money
- A bit fiddly in one or two features, nothing too serious
Why they chose it
"More flexibility than Litmos, better value for money. Offered options for companies with less than 100 users."

DigitalChalk makes blended learning class for my students fun, interesting, simple and interactive.
Basically, delivering instruction and learning in the most interactive and dynamic methods are what this software solves in my classroom. This LMS tool not only makes me an effective teacher but it also makes me a flexible educator.
- DigitalChalk digitally-enabled the landscape of learning in the four walls of the classroom
- This learning management system makes schooling and learning more exciting, interesting and technically-fulfilling
- As a teacher, it helps me easily design and modify courses in a dynamic and interactive fashion that my students really enjoy
- I can easily incorporate my own videos and PowerPoint presentations that truly level up my teaching styles and strategies
- Giving tests and quizzes are as easy as monitoring the students' growth and performance
- This LMS also helps my struggling students cope up with the missed topics because they can access the learning materials anywhere
- I also like the real-time reports that this software generates
- I used different LMS before and I think this is one of the best software I used
- It has all the characteristics of the perfect LMS for me
- None of the features that I don't want as a dynamic teacher

Verified UserBest product, in this category, on the market
DC is by far the best in its class. It is designed (in my opinion) for fully automated online courses. If this is what you want to do...I cannot think of anything better. I am an odd user of the program and have high demands (teach software with large file sizes). DC is great for distributing (and protecting) my lectures, but for my particular requirements, I needed to pair DC with Moodle. Digital Chalk has been one of the best companies I have ever worked with. They even quoted to create custom applications to work with our in-house systems. They have been completely fair with me and have greatly increased the quality and enjoyment of my job. I have been using the program for 2 years and am running on their newest platform. The update was dramatic. I expect great things to come with future updates and am positive that this company will adapt to their users. Excellent work.
- Instant setup, begin uploading your course in seconds
- Very fast and rarely down (I have been using the site daily for almost 2 years)
- EXCELLENT customer support - never seen anything like it
- Questions are answered immediately, bugs are fixed, and sometimes they just do it for you
- I use 400-500MB files - videos upload quickly and logs notifications
- I cannot say enough great things about the customer support
- Very nice, very helpful - motivated and energetic people
- When I have students drop, they take care of the refunds and fix problems very quickly I give DC 3 stars for meeting my needs, but 5 stars for protecting my work as a non-regular faculty member at a university
- I feel motivated to better my lectures knowing they are protected and are controlled by me
- no option for just publishing as an eBook (for an addition to an actual class)
- but I use DC for an actual university class, not a purely online course
- Does not have BlackBoard/Moodle integrated features (video chat, blogs, forums, etc
- )
- No ability to edit documents online
- but again, this is not what DC was designed for
- Does not have the diversity of testing questions as Blackboard does
- 500MB video limits
- I teach software and need high resolution
- Students do occasionally complain that it is difficult to see some of the details
- For my courses that are power-point/video driven
- no complaints whatsoever

Verified UserEasy to use, logical and foolproof
Used weekly for more than 2 years
- As the course designer and business consultant, I was keen to find a software that I could understand and not be reliant on others if something went awry
- I chose Digital Chalk and, despite my fears, found it intriguingly easy to set up and use
- Three years later, I chose it for a national peak body's accreditation system after looking through the range of new products
- Given that I would have to hand it over once developed, I needed a foolproof system that could grow with the education program
- I had a two page 'criteria/description of how I wanted it to work' and only Digital Chalk answered it (the next day)
- It links with Shopify which is also easy to use (especially the seamless link to cloud-based accounting packages that generate a range of management finance and sales reports)
- I've needed a couple of features, like product bundling, that Digital Chalk developed
- I'm now developing courses for an organisation with a legacy system
- The patched LMS is a nightmare
- We have to wait for 'attention' from IT; we're not 'a priority'; the navigation is annoying; we keep being told that 'IT knows best' and I ask: 'Why do people put up with this
- ' I'm also tutoring at university and find it interesting to monitor the range of 'bells and whistles' that few use
- With Digital Chalk you can spend your valuable time on design and content - what matters most
I've found a couple of glitches - like a large clock counting down in the exam - which were caused by my settings or by using the default settings - so check that what the students see is what you want

DigitalChalk is a Digital Charm
Verified reviewer
- I've used many Learning Management Systems in my 30 years of being in the training field
- DigitalChalk is hands-down one of the easiest systems to learn, use and administer
- Some Learning Management Systems can be so over complicated and for no reason
- DigitalChalk has managed to take away all the unnecessary steps in the people management process and made it very simple, streamlined and ready to use in no time at all
- It is by far my favorite LMS to date
- Prior to my joining my current company, there was no LMS
- I wish there was a live-chat option on the help desk
- There are times when I need to trouble-shoot something real time to continue my work, and I have to wait for an email response from the help desk
- It's typically the same day but in this day and age, you want to talk to someone immediately

Great for publishing online courses
easy to set up online training!
- Customer support was great, and there is a learning curve for this
- Adding video and text modules was very straight forward
- The interface felt a bit dated
- And I wish there was more flexibility with the payment methods and distributing login info, so I could more easily integrate this into my website /membership platform
