Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Brainshark primarily as a content development tool. This allows us to use SME's to create presentations that can easily be exported as SCORM content that can be published on our enterprise LMS. This has allowed us much more flexibility, cut down on development time, and has empowered our organization to create targeted, specific training content that is easily updated so it is current and valid.

Pros

  • Content development
  • Works with all content types
  • simplifies and speeds up course development

Cons

  • Reporting - not as robust as most modern report engines
  • Not completely compatible with VR or HTML5 content
  • The system can get bogged down if you have lots of content
  • The admin management is not the best

Return on Investment

  • Increased our course development from approximately 2-3 /mo to between 30-50 /mo
  • We can quickly develop micro learning and publish it
  • In general, our users take more training and there is a trend/correlation - more training = increased sales

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Brainshark to create, deliver and track our training programs as well as create a learning library for all of our digital learning content. Using BSK to deliver our various training programs allows us to keep up with managing our onboarding trainings and all of our various specialized trainings required by the employees role. It’s help eliminate time gaps from employees getting trained in a timely manner and when it matters most.

  • Scorecards.

Cons

Pros

  • I love how easy creating a Brainshark and their formal learning is to use. Upload an animated Power Point, record audio, add music, or use videos etc.
  • Their formal learning also keeps track of people in classes, allows us to invite people to a curricula, send notifications when classes are added, and update on the fly without having to resubmit all new classes.
  • I also love that people in classes can run their own transcript and see where they are in a program, and if graded how they scored.

Cons

  • I think their general reporting could be more robust and/or easier to use
  • I don't like their main emphasis is now on sales. Our emphasis is education, technology, industry changes, as well as sales.

Return on Investment

  • Last year we rolled out major technology changes to staff and advisors and assistants in the field. Hundreds of people had to know how to use new systems to do their work and open accounts. We created over 100 classes on every change, and then created nine curricula that a quick survey could place you into. We had almost 700 people in curricula based on their business needs... from 45 to 100 classes. Some as short as 3 minutes, some up to 15. Plus recordings of all our training webinars and Q & A sessions. We saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by creating all this ourselves with just a handful of people and I think put out a better product that anything being offered to us by external companies. We still have all these classes available for anyone new, or who expands their business to use other areas of the system training offered.
