Who Buys & Uses Genially

Genially in Higher Ed

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Genially to create multimedia self-learning modules. Our modules are distributed in the SCORM format through various LMS to thousands of students. The features that we particularly appreciate are the interactive questions allowing the institutions using our modules to grade their students. The integration of various media: images, sounds, videos and texts is very useful too. The connection to a large database of free images is great too. Recently, we tried some of the AI tools such as summary, translation and image generation. They blend smoothly in the workflow and are convenient.

Pros

  • Interactive questions
  • AI content generation
  • AI summary
  • Multimedia integration

Cons

  • Newest version of SCORM export
  • The possibility to create and manage variables that could be used across a group of modules
  • PDF integration without using Google Drive

Return on Investment

  • The possibility to generate dynamic SCORMS is the most important feature. Once our modules are distributed to multiple institutions, we can update them from one single file.
  • Interactive questions and the possibility to create and automate consistent grading across various LMSs.
  • The licence does not include limits to the number of students suing our modules.

Straightforward and easy to create slick presentations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In general, we use Genially for enablement, both internal (e.g., revenue enablement) and external (customer education). I personally use it to build SCORM files for our customer academy courses that are more concept-based (rather than our software instructional videos).

Pros

  • Lets you build interactive presentations.
  • Helps you design good-looking presentations easily.
  • Lets you easily collaborate with teammates on projects.

Cons

  • Branching capabilities.
  • Accessibility compliance.
  • Light video editing for media embeds (like changing the thumbnail).

Return on Investment

  • We unfortunately don't measure this.

Genially

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company purchased Genially, but it didn't meet the need I was trying to address. What I really needed was a tool that could build an assessment with questions grouped into categories and automatically generate a report showing results for each category.

Pros

  • interactive elements
  • templates

Cons

  • more learning opportunities to better use the product

Return on Investment

  • I had other tools that provided me similar experiences; therefore I needed to removed tools I wasn't using for budget purposes.
