Pathwright Reviews

Pathwright has amazing customer service (chat service is exceptional) and the straightforward design makes it easy to focus on course content versus course organization. I usually got a chat response within minutes and having that kind of support gave me confidence when troubleshooting the inevitable issues that would come up. Its interface is beautiful, clean, and easy to navigate. The simple design is highly motivating for students since they can easily find what they need and also know exactly what they need to be doing and what they should do next. It takes away the confusion that could lead to discouragement or disengagement.

Pathwright also makes it easy to create a simple gallery for users to browse courses and easily register for upcoming courses. Having an all-in-one solution to course management is a huge time saver and makes it worth the investment. I am able to simply direct students/parents to the course gallery so that they can take their time browsing courses and learning about upcoming options.

Pathwright has grown in recent years so pricing has gotten a little less affordable for startups. It is worth the investment, however, and there isn't a huge learning curve.

I was first introduced to Pathwright through Ligonier Connect which used this platform for its online courses. It immediately caught my attention, as an online course creator, since it was very easy to use and artistically beautiful. The "path" layout makes immediate sense to users—it is very obvious what tasks to do in which order. Some other LMS software requires users to visit numerous pages (calendar, schedule, forums, etc) to complete assignments but Pathwright lays it all out in a literal path which makes it easy to create and complete assignments.

It was inevitable, but Pathwright has increased its pricing structure since I started using it, making it unaffordable for a business my size. I believe that they have a scholarship plan that you can apply for and may give a discounted rate to schools, nonprofits, and charitable groups. But that is the only thing holding me back at this point.

Pathwright's support, especially their live chat, is INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend reaching out as soon as you run into a problem because they treat you very well and get back to you with answers very quickly. Although the program itself is easy to use, their support makes it even easier to get the answers you need so there is no need to dig around on Google or forums to try to find answers.

Online education is the new normal and Pathwright makes it very easy to convert offline course content to online course material. Most importantly, it makes it very easy for students who are unfamiliar with online coursework to jump right in without having to devote large amounts of time learning how to navigate and use a LMS.
