Our student used the Hoopla website during the long-distance learning months of the pandemic. We were able to read and reference the online ebooks for several projects we worked on. The website was easy to maneuver and there were plenty of topics available for research. Thank you for this opportunity to express our insights.
  • Easy and quick access to borrow the reading materials.
  • Many different subjects available to read/review.
  • Continue to add materials as they become available.
We were able to search many different titles for several written assignments in the subject of biology. This was very helpful with making sure we were knowledgeable on the various topics. Overall we had no issues or problems with finding different materials to read. Thank you again for giving us this opportunity.
  • Plenty of materials to read/review.
  • Positive impact as this is another tool for us to use for more reading

Hoopla helped us improve our culture, employee performance, and engagement. Instead of giving away boring prizes without any real competition, we were able to create programs that increased productivity without much work on management's end that employees look forward to. The best part was the feedback from employees stating they enjoyed working more as well.
  • Tracking performance.
  • Integration with other apps we use.
  • Interactivity
  • A way to encourage more participants (low performers or less tech savvy users).
From small teams to large teams hoopla gets the job done. Boosting performance by offering competitions is a great idea. I haven't found any drawbacks except for some of our low performers or less tech-savvy people feeling like they can't compete with the go-getters.
  • Gamification
  • Integrations
  • Increased productivity.
  • Increased performance.
  • Increased moral.
The demo process was not good so we decided to go with Hoopla.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many work challenges for our company. [W]e have peers working at the office, and some others working remotely which makes it harder [for people] to get motivat[ed]. Hoopla has allowed us to get closer, interact with each other's achievements, and even compete to get individual or group rewards.
  • Sports-themed contests
  • Track different metrics
  • Employee recognition
  • The search functionality gets stuck sometimes
  • Needs integrations with more tools
  • It would be nice to have more interface customization options
Hoopla is a valuable ally to improve the team's performance. [I]t is a great help for those teams that have defined and [created] clear automated metrics. However, if you are in a team where the metrics are manually evaluated, it can be hard to get excited about the progress, since it will take longer to refresh.
  • Leaderboards
  • Sport-themed games
  • Real time recognition
  • Improved employee's motivation
  • Created a healthy competitive environment
  • Made metrics easy to track
