    Sciolytix (DigitalChalk + Selleration)
    Digital Chalk is perfect for organizations who are looking for an easy to use Learning Management System and don't need all the bells, whistles, and bulk of the LMS giants, like Cornerstone or SuccessFactors. Digital Chalk doesn't require an administrative specialist to learn a whole new language and environment with endless options and settings. It's very easy to use for both learners and administrators, and yet at the same time provides the exact functions you need.

    Hivebrite is a great platform if you and your team do not want to manage a custom-built website - which can be both time-consuming and costly.

    Pros
    Sciolytix (DigitalChalk + Selleration)
    • While I used the platform, it improved its integrations with PowerPoint, making it easy to convert slides to the DigitalChalk format.
    • The editing layers for audio underneath the slides is very user-friendly and easy to use.
    • While we didn't use the quiz randomization, I liked how there was a structure built to it so that those who had more robust usage situations than ours would be able to improve engagement and assess learning at a higher level.

    Cons
    Sciolytix (DigitalChalk + Selleration)
    • The administration of Digital Chalk is very easy. The function I think may be missing is an easy way to add revisions and assign them to the students who need them. For example, when you update a piece of a course it would have an indication that it is version xxx and would ask who would like to assign it to - everyone who has taken it before or just new students.
    • It would nice to have the system recognize when a student has already completed an element of a course that may be used in another course. For example, if video A is part of courses 1 and 2, and the student already watched it in course 1, it would ask the administrator if they should get automated credit for it in course 2, as well.

    • LMS - It would be great if native learning management system functions could be added to the platform.
    • 1:1 Conversations - the private messaging feature could definitely be improved upon.
    • Language integration - being able to translate comments and conversations on the platform would be helpful to our global audience.

    Support Rating
    Sciolytix (DigitalChalk + Selleration)
    As I mentioned previously, Digital Chalk's customer support is excellent. I also got a reply back within an hour, and it was usually the same person. So, they were familiar with our needs and how we were using the system. Honestly, most of the time we had to contact their support, it was an issue on the user's side, not in the software. Yet, they still helped identify the issue and consulted on how to fix it.

    DigitalChalk gave the organization the hands-on ownership of content creation and delivery while meeting our usage case of hands-off course management on a daily basis and extending the reach of the course content and certificate to as many people as possible. It's easy to use, very cost-effective to implement, and the overall experience means that the course participants get what they need out of the course without a lot of effort on their part.

    Mighty Networks is another platform that is insanely cheap but does not have any upgrade options.

    Return on Investment
    Sciolytix (DigitalChalk + Selleration)
    • DigtialChalk's ROI is positive - the cost model of low up-front costs to get started, then paying a small amount per course participant means that organizations implementing DigitalChalk as their platform get more than their money's worth from it. It returns profit quickly and on a consistent basis.
    • The asynchronous nature of the platform, combined with the targeted usage situation of hands-off course delivery and management, means that resources to create, deliver, and maintain courses can be held with either one person (like an instructional designer) or even an outside contractor. This means that there's little impact to the fixed operating costs involved with hiring someone else to manage it.
