Summary: Trident Learning is a highly inclusive tool that supports students with disabilities or language barriers, ensuring access for all learners. It allows teachers to create personalized lessons to accommodate different learning needs by incorporating videos, text, and other interactive activities to cater to various learning preferences. Trident Learning reduces bias in grading and promotes equity by offering a variety of assessment types to evaluate different competencies and skills, rather than relying solely on traditional exams.

Additionally, it provides a safe space for dialogue through rules and guidelines that foster respectful communication. Tools such as private journals ensure security, sharing personal experiences or discussing sensitive topics. Lastly, it helps teachers identify gaps in student engagement or performance, allowing timely intervention to support learners effectively.

The product is high-quality and user-friendly. It is easy to navigate for both students and teachers. However, it lacks built-in behavioural management record features, and any add-ons come at an additional cost to the user. Despite these limitations, I would highly recommend Moodle for any school.
