Designed for leadership, tech, and compliance roles, Skillsoft is a cloud-based training solution that supports employee growth by identifying and overcoming critical skill gaps.
Language learning management solution for educational institutions, that helps with creating online classrooms, scheduling assignments, tracking student activities, and more.
The support we had with our customer success manager is the best, and she was instrumental in helping us launch and promote the resources.
In the beginning it was a little intimidating learning how to navigate and set up employees.
This product has so many options to offer as it relates to training, compliance. A great LMS tool and the customer service is outstanding.
It is hard to keep the back end organised based on how the system is set up - this makes it very challenging to manage a large employee base. The reporting functionality is very limited.
Flexibility, ability to track your progress, create relevant learning path and nice hands on exercises. Very intuitive and easy to use.
Having to use only a specific browser to operate the product meant that it was difficult for users on different platforms.
I love using skillsoft for training and development and am excited to continue using them.
The courses I have watched were all using flash, so if your device does not support it, that could be a challenge.
I like the most its useful feature that suit perfectly with the level of each individual, providing the best content and a scalable improvement.
What i dislike about this software is the lack of option for learning offline. I think learning should not be limited to strong internet connection.
Until recently I was very happy with duolingo overall. I am genuinely interested in learning a new language and truly happy that duolingo is helping me learn.
My biggest concern with this app is the lack of conversation, and communication in a variety of situations such as asking food in a restaurant.
I love that feeling of accomplishment after new skill was acquired or new level gained ( and crown for it too ).
It can be more difficult to see where you are headed next than before.
I simply love it, and I recommend it to all my friends and colleagues. It made me progress so much in 3 different languages in a very short period of time.
Sometimes the theme or words become repetitive, and even the fact that you stop accessing the application makes you go back to the beginning, this demotivates you a bit.
Mike: Hi, my name is Mike. I'm a career advisor. This review is for Skillsoft, which I would rate four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, please click below. Before bringing Skillsoft into our organization, we actually didn't have a formal training and development system in a virtual platform available for our employees and our candidates. So this was basically a revolutionary change for our learning and training and development environment. It was something where we weren't previously capable or understanding of all that a virtual platform would entail, so luckily, Skillsoft made it really easy. The main reason we chose Skillsoft was the library of trainings that were available. We did have employees that spanned all divisions, from technology to accounting, finance, typical business trainings. So having that broad wealth of resources available to us, let us really customize the resources that we were providing our employees for development. So that large library plus the ease of use and setup was definitely the strong selling points of Skillsoft. Getting started with Skillsoft was pretty simple. Relatively intuitive platform, and they have made changes to it over the years, so it's become easier to use as time's gone on. So overall, relatively intuitive, point and click for the most part. Everyone on the back end, within the IT department, said it was relatively easy to get set up within our system and our environment. And the users of Skillsoft have also said that the ease of use of the platform and, really, the ability to train at their leisure is a very open, really interesting, and helpful tool for them. So for someone considering Skillsoft, I would definitely recommend to ensure that there are the trainings and types of videos and topics that you'd be interested in having your employees develop and use. There is a lot on Skillsoft so it's not always the most focused platform, unless you're specifically guiding your employees towards the classes or the trainings that would specifically benefit them in their roles. So I would definitely recommend leveraging Skillsoft, but making sure doing a job analysis for each position to make sure that you're tailoring the specific trainings towards those positions.
Speaker 1: I'm Rhea. I'm a teaching assistant. I'd rate Duolingo four out of five. For more reviews, kick below. I use Duolingo to help my students practice Spanish. I assign homework and quizzes through it to track their progress. I like the amount of options Duolingo has for my students to practice, whether it comes to vocabulary or grammar. I also like that it's super easy to use and that it gives daily reminders so my students don't forget to do their homework or assignments. Although their notifications are super useful for my students to remember to do their homework, sometimes it can get a little bit overbearing or bombarding. So I think the notification process could be a little improved.
