What is Seismic Learning?
Seismic Learning (formerly Lessonly, acquired by Seismic in August 2021) is training software with an ecosystem of partners, strategy and services that are aligned under the mantra of Do Better Work.
The vendor has worked with over 800 companies to help them train their teams. The vendor says they've learned that the highest performing organizations build their training on the same six pillars:
- Assess (Gather Needs & Inputs) Listen to people, data, and the market; identify successes and challenges; and accurately assess your sales team's training needs.
- Plan (Prioritize for Impact) Identify the most essential objectives and outcomes, and intentionally set milestones for creation and delivery.
- Build (Create Quickly & Collaboratively) Work with teammates at the front lines of the business to develop and iterate on bite-sized training/content.
- Learn (Meet Learners Where They Are) Push training content to teammates-- anywhere, anytime-- so they can quickly solve problems in their moment of need.
- Practice (Rehearse, Refine, Repeat) Reinforce skills and information with realistic practice scenarios and receive feedback to fuel improvement.
- Perform (Doing Better Work) Empower the organization to continuously improve, deliver and quantify results.
Seismic Learning ultimately aims to help organizations to achieve faster onboarding, higher NPS score, more closed deals and a superior customer experience.

Lessonly for Business
We use it on behalf of our client companies. These clients include retail businesses that train employees on products, processes, etc. It is also used/recommended as part of our Responsible Vendor Training program/certification. It is easy to use and we are a referral so our clients get a discount and we get a referral fee.
- Easy to use and manage
- Support is excellent
- The bundle pricing could be better, having to pay for groups of 25 can be tricky.

Lesson.ly, the Ultimate Sensei
Lesson.ly is being used by my company to provide an onboarding and training platform for our employees and customers. We use it in every department for new hires in addition to training on any new updates within our product to keep our team up to date on all information relevant to their team and role within the company. In addition to using it internally, we have set up an Academy in Lesson.ly to provide an interactive learning experience for users that want step by step lessons on workflows within our product.
- Lesson.ly does a great job of providing a way for learners to self-certify and test their knowledge on the content of the lesson. Both via Flip cards that provide a quick question and response. Learners can try and guess or answer and then immediately check to see if they were correct. You can also institute graded tests with multiple choice or written answers to verify knowledge of the user.
- Lesson.ly allows for both embedded video and image content which provides audiovisual learners to have a more effective and efficient learning experience. My favorite use of this feature was the inclusion of Gifs. Both to illustrate any simple concepts being taught and for the use of humor to keep the lessons from getting boring when going through several lessons in a row.
- Lesson.ly also does a great job of providing structure to your lessons. Building boards or modules allows you to group lessons together. It provides a clear way for clients or employees to proceed to the next lesson upon the completion of their current lesson.
- Navigating through finished lessons can be challenging especially if you have completed a large number of them.

Big fan. What a software platform should be!
We started small by using Lessonly to onboard summer media staff for complicated technical processes. It's expanded from there as other departments have seen the value to include our customer service department and various organization-wide administrative processes. It's made it so simple to help get new employees, or new to their role employees, up to speed on how to do various things using different software packages we use like finding and downloading photos from our photo management system or editing website details in the CMS.
- Simple to use
- Beautiful, clean design
- Lack of integration of other systems is both a strength and a weakness because it allows the Lessonly team to focus just on the LMS experience. Still, it does make it harder to sell because there isn't direct integration into your HRIS or other employee systems. You're hopping employees between them.
- I have no other complaints. The onboarding and prep were fantastic, and it's so easy to use!

Lessonly's Customer Support is World Class
Lessonly is used alongside traditional in-classroom teaching and 1:1 coaching as our self-paced learning tool. We have found it to be an invaluable resource as a tool to onboard new employees. It is the primary source of knowledge for product and process information. While used predominantly for Sales and Customer Support, Lessonly helps our front-line employees remain up-to-date with our latest product and process iterations.
- Lessonly's customer support is unrivaled. They are the single best vendor relationship I have ever had.
- Lessonly's interface is intuitive, requiring little help to get new users feeling comfortable.
- The practice features are easy to create, and simple for users to access.
- Lessonly seems to have an API integration with nearly every software. They make it extremely easy to integrate their product with other tools.
- Their reporting has gotten much better, but Salesforce has spoiled me. I would like even more granular details on interaction within lessons.
- The question/testing creator is simple and well-designed, but the practice creator is much less robust. I would like to see more flexibility in the practice feature.

New to Lessonly, but I'm in love with it!
Lessonly is being used by our Sales Training Department, not company-wide. The business problem it solves is the quick availability for lessons on mobile iDevices and the search function that our LMS does not offer.
- Quick-burst learning.
- Search function.
- Interactive learning.
- Better function lesson to PDF function.
- I miss the search function in chat.

Lessonly - the best software, services, & training network.
We use it for all our onboarding and promotions. Our entire company has access to it. It helps "certify" that the information shared is retained.
- Lots of bells & whistles. A ton of different ways to pull data.
- Their Services team is AMAZING. They'll build lessons for you and help make sure you learners are best set up for success.
- You don't just buy Lessonly, but you join their network. Their Llama Links connect you with other individuals in your area that also focus on enablement. They host events to share best practices and brainstorm ways to improving learning & deployment of lessons. YELLOWSHIP (their conference) is an AMAZING RESOURCE bringing all enablement folk from around the country to learn together...and of course do better work!
- Their Support team is also unreal. Their in-app chat is amazing because it's real time with a real person who fixes all your issues.
- none!

Great learning platform
We use Lesson.ly in our North American office and been using it for the last 2 years. It helps our local organization and all of its departments onboard new employees and bring them up to speed, as well as keep the current employees up to date with technology and company policies. It also helps us train them in a convenient manner.
- Content creation and management - easy to build and share paths and lessons, no training required. Easy access to insights library
- Exercise tracking - easy to assign tasks to people and monitor completion
- Feedback - easy to collect lesson feedback to further improve content
- It would be great to have a mobile app to learn on the go like Google Primer
- More editing options for lessons
- Content export / import into or from various file formats
