Mineral, formerly known as ThinkHR, and now from Mitratech, offers HR and compliance solutions that aim to take the guesswork out of HR and compliance, giving clients peace of mind. The solution combines data, technology, and human expertise to drive innovation and personalized guidance. With its integrated learning management system in the Mineral Platform, users can assign essential training content or engage employees with career development courses.
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.

My company used the platform specifically to ensure employees had access to uniform compliance/HR training materials. We didn't use it much outside of that, except maybe to provide additional required training. It would be beneficial if an individual or company needed a solution like this. Individually, our HR team would also review training for ourselves when we had questions about something.

Interaction: the student learns by doing. For programming courses, this means programming!
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.

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.

From a user's standpoint, the platform was really easy to navigate, both from the employer and employee standpoints. I had no issues uploading employee information so they had access on day one, and I often helped employees access the platform and make sure they were set to complete their training. It was not often that we encountered an error, and when we did, it was easy to resolve for the employees.

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.

Safety Skills have more safety topics but Mineral safety videos are good too. In some ways, I prefer Mineral over Shrm due to the ease of finding the templates that I am looking for. It would be nice if they had an HR conference too because I never heard of Mineral until it was introduce to use by one of our vendors.

The greatest benefit of Coursera is access to quality courses on various subjects that you can either browse or dive in deeply. Customizable, flexible and accessible.
Helps our department to recommend trainees courses on this website and gain important knowledge. Also, the courses are provided by big-name universities which helps students in their careers

It has definitely been positive, but I'm not sure how I could measure the ROI. I feel it has given me more insight into certain situations, such as dealing with millennial employees, and has helped me to grow as a leader in my organization.
