Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Skillsoft Percipio (Skillport) to educate our students on subjects that'll be useful when getting their first job, many of them have never worked in a company before and lack skills that Skillsoft have in their library. It comes in handy especially because they can take courses on demand, whenever they can.

Pros

Tackle on soft skills
Variety of Topics
Checking comprehension

Cons

Checking understanding needs variety
Different types of activities

It was positive on our staff to learn new skills with us
Companies hiring our students were pleased with their preparation on skills.

Increase the number of books offered in both eBook and audiobook

We have developed an online training program for new managers, those seeking certifications (SHRM, PMP and others) and looking to expand our programs even more.
There are so many books (thousands), it can be overwhelming for our employees.

Pros

Skillport offers a rather extensive range of topics for both personal and professional growth.
Skillport lessons are multi-channel and cater to a variety of learning styles.

Cons

Skillport's user interface is relatively dated compared to many of its competitors.
While the content library is large, much of the content appears to have come from at least 5-10 years ago.

Return on Investment

Access to quality educational content for employees to take advantage of and invest back into their work.
Technology training at scale - Users can access courses at any time apart from dedicated training sessions.

Administrator in Information Technology (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

Good capability to host all kinds of training types (PDF, Powerpoint, captivate-created training content, etc.)
Gives an easy way for me as an administrator to track completion of the training content through the reporting feature
Easy to add and remove users to certain training groups as needed

Cons

SCORM compliance compatibility with adobe captivate projects is sometimes difficult to get right. Projects sometime shows as half completed when they should be tracking as fully
I would like to see more kinds of reporting templates that can show more specific data to how a user has accessed a training project
Not a huge issue, but Skillport does take about 24 hours sometimes to track completion of training content

Return on Investment

Positively increased the number of staff taking the required trainings.
Positively allows us to have solid numbers on who takes the trainings and when.
Positively increased the general knowledge of our staff on workplace subjects through the diversity of training content we are able to host on the platform.

Alternatives Considered

Other Software Used
