Overall Satisfaction with Lesson.ly

Lesson.ly is a product used across our organization. We use it for training and onboarding for new employees, as well as a way to provide information or reference points for employees. If employees need additional information about various departments, functions of our business, or certain processes/policies, they can utilize Lesson.ly as a reference point. Lesson.ly allows us to disseminate a lot of information to our employees in an organized, clear and concise manner.
  • Lesson.ly is a great training tool. Our new hires have the opportunity to review and reference a large amount of information about our organization quickly and easily.
  • Creating lesson.ly's is fairly easy. We have multiple members of our organization using Lesson.ly, and a large amount of training hasn't be required to get employees up to speed.
  • Our employees, no matter how long they have been with the organization, can access Lesson.ly at any time. Many of our employees use Lesson.ly as a reference tool for various aspects of our organization. Having a catalog of information at the ready is very helpful for our employees.
  • Lesson.ly allows leadership within our organization to provide feedback to everyone in an easily digestible way. We have created lesson.ly's to provide feedback after all-staff meetings and organizational surveys. Additionally, some of our departments use Lesson.ly to send out newsletter-like information.
  • This could just be user error, but Lesson.ly doesn't seem to allow for lessons utilizing different mediums. Not everyone absorbs information simply by reading, so having the opportunity to include video, links, etc. easily, would be best. More customization would be great!
  • Because of the different departments that use lesson.ly, the organization of the lesson.lys can be a little chaotic. It just seems the more you add, the more unorganized it feels.
  • Customer service friendly and attentive, but it doesn't feel like customer feedback is really being heard and/or implemented. It does not seem as though many changes have been made since we started using the software.
  • The overall look of the program is a bit boring/plain. It would be nice to be able to customize this!
  • Lesson.ly has had a positive impact on our training. It's allowed us to add additional learning opportunities and context to our hands-on activities.
  • Lesson.ly has had a positive impact on our ability to create reference tools for our employees to utilize regularly.
  • A negative impact would be it's lack of customization. We would love to have the opportunity to create more exciting, engaging lessons for our employees.
Overall, Lesson.ly is a great tool, especially for training. Of the similar programs I have used, Lesson.ly is the most user-friendly. We have several members of our team who create lesson.lys, and it isn't a platform that requires a lot of training to utilize, which is great. Although, it doesn't have the customization of other programs, such as Typeform, but it's still a great addition to our organization.
Lesson.ly is a great tool for creating trainings and lessons for employees. It's easy to use, and easy to access. If you're wanting your employees to have all of their training documents in one place, and where they can be referenced, Lesson.ly is great. It can be expensive, depending on how much your organization is utilizing it, so do your due-diligence when looking into this product. Additionally, it is lacking a bit in customization. We've had new hires provide feedback stating it's a bit boring, and can feel a bit too much like they're back in school. With more customization, this issue could be rectified.
