We have transitioned from Khan Academy to Codecademy. We mainly made the transition because Khan Academy did not provide the depth of resources and expertise that we need. We have been very pleased with our transition to Codecademy, and we would recommend it to others making a …

Advanced programmer needs more freedom, IMHO.

Chose Udacity
Udacity is one of many online learning platforms our organization has utilized to train our workforce. Overall, I would say Udacity is most well-suited for technical training on marketing and IT teams. Courses are very specific and hands-on projects really help give this …

Udacity is great for in-depth learning about a topic that might have many sub-topics. Udemy is great for learning a specific language, tool, or framework.

I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

Chose Udacity
Udacity's has more structured learning, practice, and projects. And, that's lacking in Lynda. Udacity uses Slack channel to strengthen the community. And, this is lacking in Coursera.
Chose Udacity
I have taken courses on Udemy and Pluralsight also. Good systems, but I just like Udacity better. They challenge me more in figuring out how to code something instead of just showing me how someone would code something. I learn better that way.

Likelihood to Recommend
Codecademy from Skillsoft is well suited to persons who wish to quickly acquire practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied to support their work or project. On the other hand, Codecademy from Skillsoft is probably not appropriate for those looking for a more theoretical approach to the subject matter.

Udacity is great for working professionals who want to continue their education by learning relevant technical job skills. The platform offers a well-produced content library with new courses added regularly. Overall, Udacity is best suited for individuals who need to gain technical industry experience and certifications in order to better perform in their workplaces. Udacity is a very valuable resource, however, I would not recommend it for all organizations - as there are more cost-friendly options on the market.

Pros
  • The content is relevant to our projects, and therefore adds value to our goals.
  • The content is delivered in a way that is conducive to adult learning, e.g., chunked into bite-size amounts (not overwhelming), uses language that is easy to understand (no technical jargon), a good mix of didactic content and quizzes (the latter adds an element of interaction).
  • The user interface is logical and user-friendly.
  • Codecademy from Skillsoft makes it easy to track your progress, not only within a course, but also relative to your weekly target.

  • Practical exercises and projects definitely helps you understand how you may apply the skills and knowledge in real-world projects.
  • Strong Community where people are generally friendly and helpful for answering questions. Udacity has also made an effort to encourage engagement between all the people who are taking the same courses.
  • You can watch a video, access reading materials and attempt an exercise without leaving the Udacity environment which is definitely a plus for me.

Cons
  • Price too high, students cannot pay 150 euro per year
  • There should be a way to pay for a single class, my student only cares about Java

  • Organization of courses is not very user-friendly, especially the sequence of courses to take should be more elucidated for a beginner.
  • There are some courses which are completely tool based on using Alteryx. Instead, more focus on concepts can be given.
  • The depth of the courses is another issue. The free courses are good for beginners but not to go to the next level.
  • Nanodegree programs can be better priced.

For the most part, site usability is great. I would say the only shortcoming from my end was when I needed support. Support responses were typically very slow, the few times I needed it.

I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

Skillsoft has been utilized and powered by enterprise organizations while Udacity is more of a side benefit and not requiring much commitment to signup for. Skillsoft has more material in terms of e-books and videos to go through while Udacity is more to use while someone is ready and have been familiar with the topic already. We have Udacity a lot due to efficiency in terms of getting set up right away on individual use.
