Opiniones de Skillsoft

A great help for professional development

Comentarios: My experience with Skillsoft has been excellent . New hires attended the initial classroom training and after that they were enrolled in a step-by-step program with Skillsoft. We could monitor progress and identify any problem with enogh time to intervine and help.

Puntos a favor:

Skillsoft is the best resources for people who want to keep learning and developing skills for work and personal life. It offers a huge catalog of courses and excellent step-by-step training to achieve certifications, gives the opportunity to build a portfolio and facilitate compliance in many areas of knowledge.

Contras:

Everything is adequate and high quality in Skillsoft. Nothing to complain about.

Great Learning Software

Comentarios: It was pleasant and painless to load the material and read through it.

Puntos a favor:

layout of the information. made it easier to retain.

Contras:

There needs to be more variety when picking courses.

Legacy LMS that was really a Content Portal turned LMS

Comentarios: If you have purchased the Skillsoft catalog, and you are getting SkillPort as an addon for no additional cost, then it is fine to use and perhaps less problematic than asking Skillsoft to make their catalog available to another LMS. Otherwise, avoid. There are many other LMS and learning portal options that are better. Many of them for free.

Puntos a favor:

Surpringly, the one feature I can vouch for in the system was the ability to update eLearning content without de-registering users or causing them to lose progress in their courseware. I have seen several systems where this is not the case.

Contras:

Skillsport seems to be an LMS that was built around the fact Skillsoft offered a large content catalog, and needed to offer tracking, and also had to allow companies to upload their content into that portal because customers wouldn't want an LMS for just Skillsoft and the expense of a second system for their own content. As an admin of the system converting over from an LMS (which they acquired), it was a very clunky system to user as an Admin as well as a user. The UI on the Admin side looked like a Windows 3.1 application (the user side was a bit better, but still dated). The basic setup of any course was overly complex, taking more steps than was truly required. The reporting was extremely weak. There was raw score and pass/fail, but no question-level analytics.

You can not merge accounts together to consolidate training completions and clean up bad accounts.

Great Training Tool!

Puntos a favor:

I think Skillsoft is an excellent training tool for teams, managers and anyone working in customer service. I like that wide range of courses that Skillsoft offers. It offers the great benefit of saving your progress in each course. I really believe that it has a course for everyone. I've recommended several trainings from Skillsoft to my team members to improve their work performance.

Contras:

I would like for newer courses to be uploaded more frequently.

One of the best self-paced learning platforms I've used. Great for quick sessions or certifications.

Comentarios: This software helped prepare me for some essential business certifications that helped me land a job soon after.

Puntos a favor:

This platform is great for improving your business and technology skills. its has a wide variety of courses from the basic such as Time Management to more specialized topics such as CompTIA industry certifications. The courses are structured in a logical progression which does not require new users to need a lot of 'hand holding' to master the concepts. The content delivery system is simple and easy so that users don't need to be tech savvy to start learning. Content is delivered in a mix of formats including video, text, and interactive simulations for some courses. Unlike other some other platforms, the content is broken down down into small time portions so that you can learn one concept when you have a few minutes to spare. This make it easier for persons who can't commit to hours at a time to get started. The platform is accessible on Windows and Mac systems and even mobile devices using Android and iOS. The makes for great anytime/anywhere learning as long as you have an internet connection. Companies can have their own branded home page and customise what content they want available to team members. There is also a set of Skillport apps that allow for offline viewing of courses. Team members can share recommendations and motivate each other to learn through the Skillport community.

Contras:

For a platform so well established the app could be better. While it does allow you to log into your account and search for courses, it doesn't have the other bells and whistles that make the web learning platform so advanced. For example you can pick up where you left off in a course you started on the web but you have to search for the course from the full set. The app doesn't seem to sync history with the web version. There's also no sign of the transcript section in the app which shows you all the courses you did before. Hopefully there are planned improvements.

outdated

Comentarios: finished my compliance courses

Puntos a favor:

It's fairly easy to use and navigate. I had a number of courses to complete when I started my current job and had no problems completing everything.

Contras:

This software seems seriously outdated and offered very little useful courses to improve your skills for Microsoft applications. I found those courses to be clumsy to use and boring to learn from. They really need to improve their offerings.

Learning and development

Comentarios: I love using skillsoft and am happy to continue working with them.

Puntos a favor:

I love using skillsoft videos for learning and development of our employees. The trainings are easy to follow and very diverse.

Contras:

I have no problems with this software, it is organized in an easy to navigate way, and includes so many different types of trainings.

Skillport - Needs updating

Comentarios: The customer service is good. Everyone is super friendly and responsive. Overall experience is..have to work with it because this is what we have now so better make the most of it. If i was making the decision i would not recommend - I would suggest a newer product.

Puntos a favor:

I like the user interface for this software. For employees, it is relatively easy to use and follow all of the required and optional training they need to complete.

Contras:

The admin side of the software is extremely convoluted and dated. 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. Often the same report will produce different results and it is challenging to pull accurate data. I would go with one of Skillsoft's updated softwares

SkillPort by Skillsoft is a wonderful third-party vendor that offers a wide selection of training to complement our in-house built eLearning training.

Some courses need to be updated, although the use of video upgrade to replace several courses in the catalog has gone a long way to update the courses.

Skillport review

Comentarios: Skillport review

Puntos a favor:

Used it for training purposes. The interface was easy to use, but it required keeping a separate monitor window open.

Contras:

Having to use only a specific browser to operate the product meant that it was difficult for users on different platforms.
