We use Bridge to create self-paced learning for students working toward a professional certification.
- Self-Guided/Self-Paced Learning
- Clean and easy to create easy to navigate learning modules
- Awesome in-depth analytics
- Implentation is tough - some dummy content would be helpful
- Creating and distributing reports
- Branding is limited but still good

- Bridge has an easy to use authoring tool.
- Bridge has simple and powerful reporting tools.
- Bridge could have a better way to organize courses from the admin view.

Bridging the Gap
It is being used for our entire organization. We have several unique business units and all have adopted it as their learning platform. Internally, we call it My KPH learning powered by Bridge. We use it to address compliance, accountability, learning ownership, and personal development.
- Bridge is a very clean, simple and user-friendly interface.
- It is a fairly new product, it has a modern look and feel, and its design is playful and upbeat, which draws in the user.
- Customer service is pretty good, and since it's new you can provide them with feedback and see positive programming changes as a result.
- There is an obviously limited amount of time their project implementers and support staff will dedicate to your implementation and on-going support.
- They could do a better job logging your history of technical issues and providing detailed analysis when a problem occurs.
- It's obvious at times they are making things up as they go along, they could do a better job of testing their programming.

Bridge, efficient, effective, engaging
Bridge is being used as a training tool and as an engagement tool for the whole organization. Most of our staff engaged the management on the need to learn new skills or enhance their skills in the ever-changing retail sector. The customer expectations are higher with new products being manufactured and introduced to the market, there was a need to keep up with the changing business trends. Bridge is therefore key in helping the staff gain new skills while at work, cuttings training costs for the company and enhancing staff engagement through the discussions in the comments section.
- Learning on the go especially on mobile gadgets
- Simplicity in the creation of courses. One does not need to have great IT knowledge to access or use Bridge
- No downtime. Bridge is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We have never experienced any issues with Bridge. It being cloud-based is awesome
- Simplicity for the learners in accessing content, videos etc making it very interesting and interactive
- This has to do with the comments section where most learners would want other learners not to see their comments until they have given their comments first to avoid copy-pasting of ideas
- Filtering comments by names of users where if I need comments made by a certain user, I would just write the name and all his comments will pop out
- Bridge does well on the Chrome Browser but does not support any other browser making it a challenge to most of our staff who use or opt for Opera Mini
- An application would come in handy instead of accessing the links through the emails

Overall easy to use and GREAT service
Bridge is being used across the whole organization. Our employees are required to complete a specific number of hours on training each quarter. Bridge allows us to track the completion of e-Learning courses, as well as attendance to live training events in-house and as administered by the third party. The platform also allows us to share learning content developed in-house.
- Ease of use - very user-friendly
- Superb Customer Service
- Responsive to Customer Feedback and Performance Suggestions
- Would like to have more reporting capability - it's definitely better with the newest update!
- Would like to have invites that were sent out directly to Outlook - not as a separate attachment. And when items are changed or added to a live training, this invite should be updated also.

Bridge Review
Bridge is being used throughout our franchise network, as well as our corporate headquarters.
The purpose of Bridge is to provide training content to learners.
The purpose of Bridge is to provide training content to learners.
- Content creation is easy to navigate and develop
- There are limited features for admin's to edit and manipulate content on bridge such as being able to organize content on the Learning Library and being able to better organize content in programs
- Communication with the development team can be difficult and mixed messages are given when it comes to product updates. The updates that do take place and are implemented are not ones, from our company's standpoint, the ones that should be focused on and are small changes to existing features that had no real issues.
As director for the Independent Automobile Dealers Association of California, I selected the Bridge platform to build an education program which is required of auto dealers every other year. We are also about to launch a second program which will provide education for auto salespeople. We are able to edit quickly as information changes. Use of videos was a large factor in choosing Bridge.
- Bridge provides an easy, intuitive program for building education programs. It is not necessary to contract with a software expert as a program can be built with ease by anyone with average skills.
- The support received from Bridge is always quick and complete. Bridge staff make sure any problems or questions are fully resolved.
- For us, integration with a shopping cart was very important and Bridge technical support facilitated that with no issues.
- There is a 'language' that is used by Bridge staff which takes some getting used to. So many terms are 'tech speak' and it does take some extra time to learn those terms.
- The menus and links to reports, etc. are not as intuitive as they could be. I find myself frustrated at times trying to navigate. I don't automatically relate terms like 'insights' and 'instance' in the way they are used by Bridge.
- I've asked for a notification via email when a user completes the program. I recognize that this has been a work in progress but it seems like it should be a relatively simple fix.
- Initially, Bridge provided sessions which were designed to educate a new user on every aspect of everything Bridge has to offer. Much of this was a waste of time in our case. The training sessions should have asked first what we intended to do and provided only the information needed to get us going. We needed only a push in the right direction, not an overview of every possibility we may encounter.

E-learning
Bridge is being used by the training department across all the organization globally to solve the training gap and main products information.
- Live training event organization
- Easy access from al devices
- User-Friendly
- There is a gap in customization
- It is not possible to export in PDF or print the content created in Bridge
- Alerts and automation e-mail are improved but still a little far from a "full" control
July 10, 2018
Satisfied and getting better
[Bridge is being used] Primarily as a consolidation of training and development, ensuring compliance across many sectors, and to provide a training environment for further development.
- Intuitive, engaging, and easy to navigate - the design is very good.
- In-system content builder slimmed and easy.
- Single Sign-On is very sleek.
- Lacks some admin controls.
- Content creator is somewhat limited. Would like a little more control over the content learners have access to, i.e., ffwd, next button contingency, etc...
- It took a lot to figure out single sign on, and Instructure wasn't as much help as they probably could or should have been. Instructure's current SHA would not allow us to use their authentication systems.
Bridge is used to educate our customers. We sell a software product that we cannot hire enough support reps to answer the phone to support. We are using Bridge as a solution to our problem to lower support call volume.
- Easy to navigate and use
- Looks pretty- lots of white space
- Focuses on the fundamentals- hosting and tracking learning content
- Credly integration sucks- badges/leaderboards need to be in house. Seems like your two companies are at odds with each other
- Credly badges are only available on the main account not for subaccounts
- Not able to see groups of programs together to track learning progress. That is wonky- I get it- a group of courses is a program. You can't group programs together and call it something (like a curriculum)? So this grouping functionality can only happen on one level? Pretty lame
We use Bridge to provide internally developed training to our internal employees and external customers. It helps to standardize training both internally and externally and make it very easy to show evidence of training. Externally, it assists with freeing up resources as training sessions that used to be done in person at external sites, can now be moved online. The trainer now has that session time and travel time to spend elsewhere.
- Bridge makes it easy to track learner completion. Some of the education we've placed on Bridge is mandatory and must be refreshed annually. Bridge makes it easy to track because you can set expiration dates on courses and have reminder emails sent to managers for learners that are behind on their learning.
- Adding your own content is simple. It is easy to upload PowerPoint content to Bridge and then edit individual slides within Bridge. You can also easily add scorm files for more interactive courses.
- Security of assessment improves because we've replaced our paper tests with the Bridge's "smart questions" that will automatically alter appearance to prevent memorization or sharing answers.
- One thing I would be relieved to see is a feature that lets the manager account print a certificate of completion directly from the Insights page or from accessing one of their learner's pages. Right now the only way for the manager to access the certificate is to export data into a csv file and then copy and paste a web address into their browser and then print. This process is much easier for a learner, but in our environment the learner's are often accessing material on their smart phones and they would not print their own certificate. However, manager's will be audited and will need to show evidence that learning has been completed and they will need to print certificates even when the learners are not at work that day or at that time. It would be a huge help if printing certificates were easier from the manager account.
- Bridge makes it easy to upload PowerPoint and scorm files, but it's internal capabilities for course building are minimal. Being able to build varied, text-based content within Bridge would be a great enhancement.
- It would be helpful if manager accounts could review test results for each individual question by question. This way they can follow up with incorrectly answered questions to ensure material is understood. It is our policy that this follow up is done, but by moving assessment to Bridge it has made it difficult to do.
- Assigning learning is generally quite simple and can even be done automatically when you add learners through smart groups linked to role, for example. However, it would be wonderful if you could add learning while on an individual leaner profile - similar to the way you can add a course to a program, so that while on the learner page you see they are missing a particular course or program you can hit a button that says add learning, search for the content and select it. Right now if you're on a learner page and see a course is missing you have to change to the Author then switch to course or program then find the course or program then switch to learners and then find your learner and then add them. It's too much navigating for something that should be simple.

'Bridge'ing the Gap in Training
Bridge is being used by our entire organization for training purposes. We administer all new hire, compliance, safety, and SOP training via Bridge. We also have various content for employees to sharpen their own professional skills.
- Bridge is very user-friendly - it is very easy for users to access Bridge and take courses. Very little training was needed for employees in our organization on how to use Bridge, everyone caught on quickly. It is a simple and unique setup that works well for our organization.
- Bridge's course creation tool is a great tool for us. We use the course creation tool to create personalized training for our associates based on customer and location. We also have been able to provide Lanter specific training to associates by using the course creation tool. It is also very easy to use and straight forward.
- Bridge works very well with our HRIS, Paycor. We are able sync these systems to do automatic CSV drops into Bridge adding and and removing users.
- Bridge's learning library has a lot of room for improvement. Right now it is just one big library with tons of courses thrown into with no way to categorize it except by using tags. Being able to categorize by course subject/type would be very beneficial to learners and being able to find courses that will benefit them.
- Bridge's survey tool is very useful to our organization, however it could use an open-ended survey questions instead of just likert scales. This would allow employees to give additional feedback on survey responses that would better our results.
- Reporting in Bridge could also use some work. We wish there were some more fields/attributes to narrow things down and really deep dive into the analytics.
June 27, 2018
Bridge Meets the Needs
[Bridge is] Used for both training internal and external learners to ensure that the end users have a uniformed experience in our LMS.
- Integration with SCORM content.
- A simplistic and branded user experience.
- Vanity URL to ensure that our learners feel like they are on our LMS.
- Categories for courses

Bridge Administrator/Author/User Review
Currently Bridge is being utilized to deliver asynchronous and synchronous training. It is also being used to deliver blended learning within the organization; meaning learners take a course in Bridge and then come to an in-person session to experience the information on a deeper level.
The goal is to use the system across the entire organization. Currently, initiatives are taking place to create and roll out training to departments and employees with the greatest need for training. Programs are being formed as the individual courses are being developed.
One of key items the Bridge system addresses is providing consistent information when training new employees. It allows the organization to provide new employees with the same knowledge base and standard operating procedures knowledge. It also allows users to immerse themselves into learning when it is convenient for them and on multiple devices.
- Its flexibility and ease of use in building courses
- Ability to integrate video and audio for robust training courses that are engaging
- The dashboard and reporting features for training learners. This is a valuable tool for managers.
- The WYSIWYG editor is a drawback. It really should be more robust in terms of formatting, adding HTML, Etc...
- Assigning employees to managers can only be done by using a CSV file. This function should be allowed on a live screen.
- Features for control of the library and course ownership. Anyone can go in and change a course which could lead to issues.
June 25, 2018
Small fish in a big pond.
We use Bridge to update our staff on Division policy and procedures that have been renewed. We also use it for Employee Annual Trainings.
- Easy for learners to use. For our needs- basic is best!
- The Bridge Community is wonderful to communicated with other users.
- Its nice that I have the option of sending learners a password reset. Since our learners only use the program once a month, quite a few forget their passwords in that time frame!
- It would be wonderful to add learners directly to Bridge instead of having to upload a CSV file.
- Printing out a learners transcript is tedious and time-consuming.
- I know that the option to achieve a course has just been added (YAY!), but I have to mention that for a year and a half we had to come up with our own work-around for dong this. It will be nice to finally have this feature!
June 25, 2018
Good for a small organization, Watch out their frequent changes that create havoc in a large organization
We use Bridge across our whole organization for the LMS needs related to current employees
- Our CRMs are always willing to meet regularly to meet our concerns/questions
- Bridge is so focused on getting their releases out, that they do not seem to be thoroughly tested. Release notes are sent a full day after the change has happened. There needs to be a test environment to give admins a chance to play around and see what the changes are going to be/how they work before they actually happen. It's frustrating to not know 100% when a change will happen or be able to prepare concrete communications/user manuals/e-Learnings until well after the change happens. We get many questions/complaints.
- SMART groups need "and/or logic." We cannot use SMART groups for much of anything. For instance, if we want a SMART group for all active employees, who are faculty at either the Indianapolis, Franklin, or Noblesville campuses. We can't do that. We have to create a group for each. This makes running reports for HR unwieldy.
- Branding. Our logo is sooooo small. We need improved Branding and a way to replace all mentions of "Bridge" with IvyLEAD which is what we're calling our system.
- Customized emails. We would like to be able to alter the messages that are sent. Our employees are confused because there are limited details in the emails that are sent and most of the time the links don't work
- Our executive level leaders frequently complain because there is no easy way to segment their direct reports. With thousands of employees rolling up to them and showing up on their insights data/manager summary emails it's impossible for them to easily find out which of their direct reports to follow up with
