What do you like best about EdCast?

* Easy to make visually engaging without any coding

* Can highlight information specific to your company

* Can easily incorporate other external content or internally-created content

* In-line player allows users to see content with one click in the same window -- for the content it works with.

* Social features and knowledge sharing seem appealing, though we haven't been able to get any engagement in these due to all the technical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EdCast?

* A lot of technical issues on mobile

* Reporting is non-existent. Nothing useful in the system. Any useful reporting is an extra cost.

* Constant issues. Data connection from Cornerstone not working when it says it will. Assignments disappearing. Email doesn't work. More and more content doesn't work with the inline player. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EdCast solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were really excited to create a more engaging user experience, share more internal information, and highlight information related to current initiatives; however, we are over a year in and are ready to give up on this. There's a lot we are missing from the demonstration and we have constant issues. I'm confused how it works so much better for others. I think this may be a great product someday, but it's not there yet and there's a lot to tackle before it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The EdCast LXP introduced the concept called skills passport, the skills passport allows me to create an Inventory of skills that the current employee possesses.

And this has helped me in increase in productivity, reduce employee churn rate and most importantly reduced cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about EdCast?

I liked some features they've added like "smart card" and "progress tracker" I haven't seen anything like it before. The smart card feature is personally my favorite since it allows us to stay up to date with our industry and we can find all this information in just 1 place. The progress tracker feature is excellent as it allows one to stay on track with our goals and helps with necessary prompts when necessary. Overall I feel the app goes beyond generic e-learning platforms and has excellent learning content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EdCast?

I personally felt the number of choice of courses for each topic was a little too much. Since it creates more confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EdCast solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have observed Edcast has helped me stay committed to my learning goals in the long run with their features and also options of multiple devices and platforms. In this way, it easily blended into my routine instead of me having to having to make time for it in schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
