Great tool in managing academic documents and keeping organized

I like that this allows me to keep track of my research projects without having so much paper clutter around! This has helped save space because all those papers are now stored online instead where they would have been otherwise if not saved as PDFs (which still takes up too many physical places). Also helps with organization since everything gets put into one place rather than scattered throughout different folders across multiple computers which was hard before using an app such as these ones

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Allows easy access/uploading via email or computer
  • Has options available beyond just uploading files, etc.
  • Ability store documents in cloud storage option along side uploads &/or downloadable versions through website portal(not sure exactly)
Cons
  • Not really anything specific besides maybe wanting it better organised

Works great in combination w/ remote learning platform

Elab FTw works very well with our organization's system of having students work from home during their time off (vacation). The student has access to everything they need while working remotely - including all materials required for class completion as assigned through my instructor portal! I have had no issues at this point but would like more support when using other features that are not part of standard functionality such an assignment submission & grading tools within Moodle which we use…

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • Great customer service in case you experience difficulties along your way.
  • Reliable software product so far, especially compared against others available out there today
  • Ease of
  • once one becomes familiarized/used its really easy going after then too :)
Cons
  • Lack user interface customization option currently.
  • Nothing much else comes immediately into mind here
