    My journey with Connect has been a rollercoaster of experiences. While it serves its fundamental purpose of submitting homework and ensuring it reaches my professor, the road to that point has been rocky.

    Facilitates homework submission.

    Frequent connectivity issues. Unreliable synchronization with Blackboard.

    The performance of students has enhanced due to ability to access content and resources even outside the classroom. McGraw-Hill has an abundance of available resources for students and teachers for each topic provided.

    Ability of teachers to tailor assignments and tests, students have study materials and interactive modules to assist in understanding content more fluently, and ability of teachers to see reports so that they can change their style and approach of teaching.

    Using several learning management tools in the past, I found Cornerstone the best. Other systems ask you to go back and customize to get the system working. You get 99% control as an admin. Customer service is great. You can connect with your clients and share best practices. I strongly recommend to get it on board.

    As an administrator, I've been using Cornerstone for 2 years. Learning and connect modules are with added observation checklists from the performance module are awesome. I managed more than 5 LMS earlier and can say without any doubt that Cornerstone is the best.

    Little unscheduled downtimes, quarterly updates, integration with SCORM and tutorials, reporting, dynamic/scheduled enrollments, customization, creativity, ease of use, branding, etc. all are amazing. Managing different users and system is easy with it. The team is always ready to modernize the look. The mobile app is recently updated which makes its UI very captivating. User-conference is awesome.

    Customer support needs to make better. Bugs in the mobile app are frustrating. It goes only with the new update but that happens quarterly only. Their integration with WebEx for vILT just broke last year. Overall it a good app where working has become fun.
