Strengths:

 * A fully integrated Learning Management System designed for the school market
 * Anyone can create a free account and set up a single class
 * Allows for the creation of assignments, quizzes, files, external links, external apps, and content pages
 * Courses can be private or public
 * Being used and adopted at a faster rate than any other LMS to date
 * Available on several platforms including phones, iPads and laptops.
 * Online discussion forums with chat exist in this program

Weaknesses:

 * School or district wide implementations can be pricey
 * Message forum could have negative message
 * Not open source, however you can make backup files of your content locally

Opportunities:

 * Courses can be fully implemented online. Very robust learning management system.
 * wikis can be created within the pages rather than using sites like this one on wikispaces!

**Threats**:

 * Instructors who are using it who have not been trained can create frustrating experiences for their students.
 * Student to student messaging could be negative, but this can be monitored.

Ideas: class content is easy to deliver. Because it works on multiple platforms it is easy for students to access.
