Korn Ferry Assess vs. Pearson Revel

I think Korn Ferry Assess can support your higher level HR functions such as succession planning, hiring c-suite level, thought leadership, and development planning

Pearson Revel is probably best suited for distance learning of large sections where there is little time for discussion and grading assignments manually is prohibitive. I would prefer not to use it with small classes and traditional classes.

• The client service is good

• Brand

Incentivized

• The REVEL platform is easy to navigate.
• The content is customizable.
• There are many grade reports that can be run for up-to-date information on students' progress.

• Expensive
• Seems like you only get the gold level service if you spend a particular amount
• Software is clunky

• Unfortunately, there are some videos that do not play, or situations where the video does not match the question content. These are bugs that should be attended to by Pearson, but although I have reported them (along with students), they have not been remedied.
• Instructors who would prefer to use only the digital text do not have the option to purchase the text without the platform.
• Because the text and software are integrated, there are no "page numbers" as in other digital texts which makes it hard to reference a particular section in a lecture, assignment, or presentation.

Both can feel similar, Korn Ferry Assess is more expensive, and you have a more recognized brand.

I have used Pearson MyPsycLab in the past. I believe it was a better overall product than the REVEL system because the text and learning activities were separated, Students could view the text, then complete the activities. Overall, I think that both printed texts and systems like REVEL will be obsolete in the near future as content is readily available on the internet at no cost to the student.

• If you make the proper c-suite hire
• insights on best-in-class company approach to growth
• bench plan readiness

• NEGATIVE: The platform is less expensive than a printed text, but students can use OER's for free. This is especially important at the community college level where students tend to have less financial resources for education.
• NEGATIVE: After the course completes, the student has nothing to use as a reference. They cannot go back and view the content, nor can they print any of the content.
• NEGATIVE: The student pays for the learning platform and content which includes a large number of activities and resources. While this seems to be a positive thing, students (and instructors) can get overwhelmed with the number of activities and resources available. Some students won't use any of the resources at all.
