Intellum vs. Schoolbox

Intellum leads the field in reporting; something I didn't even know I really needed/wanted until we purchased this LMS. While I realize that most Learning Management Systems are designed to support online, auto-assigned content for people to complete on a device, 80% (sometimes more) of our training is delivered in person (we are a quarry company, and our learners do much better with Instructor Led Training). Sometimes it is difficult to find a workaround in Intellum that allows us the flexibility and consistency we require for managing our in-person learning needs.

Schoolboxn is well suited to being a school portal. You can manage user accounts, access to information and communicate to users individually or as a group. The pages allow for a great range of media types, you can use blog, forum or chat and embed videos and images easily. As an LMS, this system is great. Student accounts link to class information easily by the back end sync tools. Giving students instant access to their information. Assessments are easily submitted and feedback given by teachers can be viewed by students and parents.

A situation where this system is less suitable is if you work in a school that already has a dedicated portal and/or LMS.

• Easy to use interface. The quick options to add content to pages, and drag and drop organization, makes it easy for anyone to jump in and start adding information.
• Intellum is not just mobile responsive but mobile-friendly. This makes it super easy for people to view our content anywhere they are, any time they want.
• Intellum support is always quick to respond when we have questions or need help tweaking our setup. They also have a robust selection of self-service training courses available.

• I think that Intellum can greatly improve the functionality of inactive courses existing in the tool in itself.
• Reporting is unreliable in Intellum which most of the time requires a lot of manipulation and scrubbing to obtain sufficient information.
• There is no exact idea of how long the time will be taken to tackle any issue encountered when service tickets are soared.

Intellum is in a class of its own. With the good referrals, I got from colleagues in my industry, I was aware that certain processes would be made easier by this software, and we were right. I have seen the positives that have come from this software. It easily takes the cake over its competitors!

Canvas is purely an LMS. Whilst it is a good system, it didn’t allow us to manage parent communication or use it as a portal. In the end we didn’t want to manage 2 separate systems. Schoolbox is the only all in one system we found that stacked up. Other systems did the portal well, or the LMS well, but not both together.

• The biggest impact Intellum has had on hc1 would be the space for learner engagement. I still have to work hard to direct our clients to the LMS (link from our hc1 solution) but when they do - they love it!
• Since the pandemic in 2019, hc1 also has noticed a big up tick in the usage of LMS from our clients because of the need for virtual learning.

• It’s a time saver for teachers as course information can be re-used
• User administration rules allows for automation
• Parent comms are centralised and easily managed
