Overall Satisfaction with Brainshark
We use Brainshark on a regular basis to provide on-demand training content and bite-size learning to different departments at our company. It is a great tool for providing just-in-time training and since it can be viewed from any device, there is no restriction on when and where someone views the recordings. The process to create a Brainshark is very simple - upload your content and then record your voice. You can choose to include different assets like videos, web pages, surveys, quizzes etc. The reporting tool provides lots of details on content views and durations. For us it works really well and we can push it out through our LMS. Their support is great and we usually get a response back in less than 24 hours. A couple of enhancements I would like to see would be adding some sort of a timer to the quiz feature and more enhanced editing options.
- Recording slide by slide and animation by animation gives you the ability to really tailor your talk track and message
- Simple to use interface and features - easily create surveys and quizzes
- The detailed reports really help you see how long someone stayed on a slide or did not for that matter. For compliance trainings you can setup completion criteria
- Timer on quizzes would be a great enhancement
- A simpler interface to editing the content. Too many clicks right now to edit content which can be minimized with a more robust editing UI
- Faster time to ramp up Sales on specific content they need for their roles
- Providing short digestible learning content since Sales doesn't have time to spend 30 minutes learning something new
We haven't used any other on-demand content creation tool so can't compare.
