Scholar360 Customer Feedback…“…Having utilized numerous course management systems over the years,

including Evolve, The Point and Blackboard, I was especially thrilled about the features that Scholar360 offers. It offers the best features from these other systems and in addition, seems to have devised solutions to some of the problems encountered in these other systems. The system is very user friendly [and] has a clear, crisp format that is easy to navigate …”

“…probably what I have appreciated the most is the personal customer and

technical support that you and your staff have provided. None of the other companies offer anything close to this unparalleled support. You have assisted us in transition our course materials from one learning management system to another, answered questions and resolved technical issues, and you went above and beyond the call of duty…” Lisa M Easterby, MSN, RN, CNE
