    Good platform, needs work on overall design. Not as easy to integrate API tools as I thought for a non-technical founder.

Dislike

It was hard to deploy without technical or coding skills. It did not integrate with modern teaching tools like I thought. It overall was very out-dated looking and needs a complete remake. No mastery paths or engaging design/dashboard to encourage social learning or student engagement. More for higher ed than K-12
