Grovo, now part of Cornerstone LMS

Grovo is a great tool for creating tailored micro-learning lessons. Our focus was on manager training and it's one we have found our employees really enjoy as the library is modern and has real-world examples.

Grovo's current catalog is vast enough for most business looking to expand their library of online learning content. This allows team leaders to easily curate content for their team using a curriculum or playlist structure. Grovo also allows novice eLearning designers to create their own content quickly using their design tool. Making Grovo a multifaceted tool to decentralize content creation and curation.

Grovo is best for small companies that have a simple org structure. One can upload small videos and make content available throughout the company. A very good learning system for small organizations. This isn't suited for mid and large-sized companies.

Throughout our three years with Grovo we have used it to some very high abilities. We first purchased it to assist with training and over time we realized we could use for client trainings, tracking of information and ability to have others create trainings as well. It has been a great resource to allow us to make our training more robust and are always coming up with new trainings to add. This has helped with new hire trainings (so the managers don't have to do them live), client specific needs and all company training that is required. The ease to create these is wonderful and of course tracking that the training are getting completed is very important.

It is well suited for teams that have dedicated people to develop standardized training modules for their teams.

Grovo is fantastic for bringing a team of people up to speed and for teaching a few things to a large audience. We found Grovo to be lacking when specific training is required or when the training required a certain level of skill. Grovo is fantastic for broad training, less so for specific depth training.

Grovo is especially suited for organizations that can utilize the included content and don't need to build all of their own content completely

The ideal scenario for Grovo is for more of a supplement to real world training. Employees may know the basics of a software of scenario or may have known more in the past, but simply need to use Grovo as a refresher course or quick reminder.

I wouldn't really recommend using Grovo for the more complicated skills or situations, as this doesn't seem to be what it was designed for.

Grovo is well suited for learning basically anything. Since you can upload any material/ training videos you want, Grovo can essentially be used to learn...anything. Although, it's super nice that there are some built in micro-lessons where you can learn various material that's already onboard. At my company, our engineering department used Grovo to guide us through an SQL database querying bootcamp in which they provided the lessons and material. Grovo was an excellent interface for doing this, and I learned a lot in the span of that short bootcamp.

Grovo is well suited to any company that wants to train their staff on soft skills or hard skills. The service was excellent, the website ran well, the Grovo content was great and well produced. They did not fit well when it came to hosting our company's proprietary content.
