Likelihood to Recommend The Coursera platform can be a useful part of your overall learning content portfolio if utilized correctly. It's fantastic for asynchronous courses that don't necessarily need a dedicated faculty member (though I'd highly recommend at least having some discussion moderators/student workers) and for offering MOOCs. The ability for the learners to contribute translations really makes it ideal for the international learning community - I am always amazed to see a course we launched with 2-3 languages to quickly have 10-12 more added. This feature really helps expand the audience reach and Coursera has such a large following already that it can grow seemingly overnight.
Read full review Go1 is a great solution for SMEs looking to implement their first LMS. The cost per person is reasonable and the content available is vast. The Account Managers do a great job at working with the business to ensure a smooth launch, with loads of additional content to drive usage (email templates, schedules, etc).

Assessments: the courses I'd taken ask students to grade each others work with a rubric. This is hugely effective and permits tests and quizzes to be other than multiple choice. Creativity and enthusiasm of the instructors. Some of the approaches demonstrated real out-of-the-box thinking by the instructors. For example, the Rice Python course was a self-contained website requiring no installation of IDE on one's computer, and the final project was a working version of Asteroids. Low cost of entry: most of the course I enrolled in were free, with an optional fee for certifications. This really gives people the freedom to explore learning. It's almost like a Public Library of Learning. Coursera forces a weekly discipline on the user with lectures and assignments and this really motivates one to put in the effort. Read full review The huge library and variety of courses that can be accessed from multiple different providers in one place. Our account manager from Go1 is always on hand to answer any questions we have or help with any tasks we have. It is also very easy to pull reports from and monitor learning across the board. I also love that I can pull the .skorm file for learning content from the site to reupload onto our internal site for compliance training. Read full review Cons Some of the courses (very few) have some old information (more than 2 years), and in some areas like technology the information has to be very new and updated. Some professors or people doing videos are not good in front of the camera, they should train their people a little bit more for those things. Read full review The integration from Go1 to SF can be improved with more attention to detail that can make a big impact in the operational cost of running the integration. Many information and configuration in the target system that should be available to pre-filling or can be pre-configured to allow better automated integration that is time efficient. The reporting can be improved and further automated; this include in an integrated scenario. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Constantly renewing already. One of my favourite MOOC platforms.

Read full review Alternatives Considered I think Coursera has the best overall interface. I think you will find that different platforms go in different directions, and have different specialities. For the most part the differences are more in the types of courses they offer than one being particularly better than the other, so it comes down to content for me.
Read full review Go1 has the biggest volume of content in the most varied formats. This allows us to tailor content for accessibility and neurodiversity purposes, skillsets, job roles and interests. We chose Go1 because they don't use pushy corporate sales and use a much softer sales pitch, as the product speaks for itself. This friendly tone of marketing was a major factor in choosing them over pushier, less personal brands
