I reached out to the online chat option for an issue I was having with unlocking tests. TWICE I was disconnected from the agent (the screen literally shows "Agent has left the chat)-I attached the screenshot to this feedback. I am sure you know how frustrating it is to go through all of the details, spend 20 minutes back and forth and then be told to "Hold while we look into this for you" only to have the agent leave the chat, leaving me without an answer. And then, to have to do this all over again with another agent who DOES THE EXACT SAME THING TO ME!
I ended up calling the 800 number and waiting on hold for 12 minutes for someone to answer-luckily he was able to tell me what the issue was but this had now taken my entire class period. And let me just say, this was not the first time-they did this with me previously when I did online chat asking about an answer key.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE-I am writing an email to the District to make sure that they know just how awful this platform is.

I am a straight a student, that was until i got this app i went from straight a to almost all D's. Do not recommend because the schools would rather give us a cheap education than a good one that will help us

Horrible
March 28, 2021

I took my son out his local school where he was doing online classes because all but one of his course was through Edgenuity. It is a horrible program. There is no real learning opportunities. You listen to awful lectures that are not engaging in any way. There is no way to see what you did wrong, not attempt tp help you learn concepts you were having problems with, no way to talk to a real person to supplement what the reading and pre-recorded lectures said, no way to contact anyone with questions... I can't believe that schools are paying millions of dollars for this garbage program. I can't believe that this program is used for ‘credit recovery'.

We have three students enduring Edgenuity during COVID. Everyone regrets purchasing it for our elementary school, from administration and teachers, to parents and students. Instructions are wordy and written in a 10th grade language - our 1st graders learning to read cannot follow them. Instruction, Assignments, Quizes and Exams are out of balance.

It feels as if they outsourced content creation overseas without consulting with a 1st grade teacher on the most important part - how to teach.

Had we known up front we would have home schooled our children with a better curriculum.

Pacing is inflexible and having so many different grading systems is confusing and creates unnecessary anxiety in both students and parents. There are grades for pacing, overall grade, relative grade, and actual grade, WHY? On the plus side, it is rigorous and challenging for most students.

It is one of the best learning sites I have ever attended. I get updates on maintenance and the teachers are amazing, and even A little funny. I recommend using this site. Daily.

My issue, which was resolved fairly quickly, is that the names of 23 students showed up on my dashboard with the notification I needed to review their work before they could proceed. They are not my students, so I had no idea why this notification was there. Took some back and forth emails to say that I should ignore the notifications but there was nothing they, or I, could do to get rid of the notification. Not really a solution. Kind of like driving with the check engine light on. Tough to ignore. Other issue I'm having, and I still have not heard back or had it resolved, is that I cannot get into my Course Structures. Keep getting some kind of 503 or something Failure Notification. Have sent in 2 tickets on that one. Overall just a very difficult platform to work in from a teacher's point of view.

I was pleased with the recent support I received. I asked a question about how to use the student guides and was given a step by step instruction along with the hot link to quickly get the needed site.
Also, I got my reply within 20 minutes.

Tech Help too slow
March 21, 2021

It took 10 days to resolve a simple situation, no diagram was showing up for a geometric proof. Neither the student nor I could see it when we clicked on the assignment. Not good when the program depends on completing assignments before moving on. I was able to skip the assignment for her, but TEN DAYS to fix the situation, unacceptable!

I am a teacher and what would have taken me less than 30 seconds to fix took over 3 months. Just needed the misleading wording of a test question to be fixed. Submitted ticket 11/13 and was fixed on 2/18. In between just messages saying we apologize for the delay and are reviewing the submission. If it takes that long that tells you the volume of issues far outweighs their staff to fix them. It's the most counterproductive system for teachers not to be able to edit content once they create their own copy of the course. Also, the most time-consuming platform for grading and entering grades.

I called the help center and immediately received a call back despite the recording that said there were longer than usual wait times. Esteban took the time needed to fully investigate and answer my question regarding a student's session log. I have called the help center before and have always received excellent and timely assistance..

Good
February 18, 2021

This is a really great homeschool option! I do like that you won't get marked if you turn in an assignment late. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 star review is because I feel like some of it can be overwhelming at times. If I get sick I have to choose between getting behind and having to make it up with a lot of extra work, or work anyway even though I'm sick.

It would be really nice if, when I email about an issue that I'm having with a couple of students' classes, the response I receive actually had a solution to the problem rather than a more technical explanation of what I already told them. Utterly useless.

Our students are using Edgenuity as an at home learning platform. I've had issues with the program and the only resolution is to bypass the assignment or instruction because I cannot get on the phone with support live while the student is working. It is near impossible to get good customer service that helps students when I'm at school, they're at home, and customer support is a 24 hour email away.

My most recent experience with Edgenuity customer service was pleasant and helpful. A student had emailed me about a problem at 2AM. I saw the email closer to 7AM and got busy trying to get answers. I reported the problem and quickly got the automated reply I was expecting. NOT TOO LONG AFTER I then got a reply from a real person taking a look at the problem. Because it was uppermost in my mind I fired questions right back and every time the real person was helpful. We were able to solve the problem before the student got online for the day. I found the agent to be persistent, patient, and helpful.
