Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance myON® Reader

We used Renaissance myON Reader during distance learning as the primary source for our students to have access to books.

Pros

  • Colorful.
  • Connected to RenPlace.

Cons

  • I could never figure it out.
  • Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON.
  • The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers.
  • I am fairly tech-savvy, but I could never navigate through and understand how myON worked. Eventually, I gave up and switched to Epic.
  • The book selection was poor. Only the non-fiction books were interesting to my students. None of the popular titles and authors were available.
  • It was a big disappointment and frustration for me and my students.
  • Selection of books.
  • Ease of use.
  • True connection with STAR and RenPlace.
  • Unable to answer this question.
Epic is far easier to use, with more engaging titles and a user-friendly platform.

The idea is great--a book service connected with RenPlace. In actuality, it did not work at all. Couldn't find books. Didn't like most of the books. No connection between their AR level and the books offered.
