Hi,
I used it with 200+ 1st year undergraduates who had never met this type of
software before. Response was generally positive and we used it to plan
presentations and websites. It facilitates forward planning for academic work
and gets the discussion going early on in the process.
It was my first time with this as a learning tool and generally the feedback
was positive. The inclusive help is of good quality but a little more subject
specific documentation probably helps to tie it in. I made it optional (but
recognised the effort when marking) and will probably make it mandatory for
future projects of this type.
