What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

Whe I started in Oxygen, I had 6 months to find and launch a learning platform. Learning pool was the only option for us. The implementation was quick, the team were excellent on the project side. The integration into our business was seamless and its now a huge part of our everyday organisation.

I love the team at learning pool - they are all supportive and helped us achieve the goal of launching our training platform quickly, efficiently and successfully. The software is both efficient and easy to use for users and learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

The reporting is trickier than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The previous system they used for 'training compliance' was a system with long boring documentation which people had to read and sign. Essentially these were H&S documents that were long winded and not training at all. We now have an excellent system that houses interactive training for everyone in our organisation. Its slick features not only look good but its really easy to get training out there to the masses in quick real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

I have used Stream extensively since it was first developed and have introduced it to my current organisation. It has help[ed us to create award winning blended learning offerings to our clients that consistently get incredibly high satisfaction ratings from our participants. It is easy to use and incredibly flexible allowing us to adapt and evolve our online learning elements. Having reviewed many other providers the key difference is the interactivity between the participants on the course, creating social learning.

The social learning element makes the online more akin to a classroom environment which increases the stickiness of the learning, and therefore the effectiveness of the programme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

There is little to dislike although I would love to see some enhanced reporting functionality particularly when using child organisations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It creates a learning platform that evolves as we do to support our clients that is easy to use both for participants and our internal admin. It is flexible and adapts as we grow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

What I love about Learning Pool is that they are always there when you need them. We have a meeting with our Account Manager every quarter to go over what's going well and what we need assistance with and they let us know of what's new with LP and what to keep our eyes peeled for inc. new features, events, webinars etc. The Support Desk are available all the time when you need them for any help with your account and site, and they are always quick to solve the situation and keep you updated with their progress. The site we have is super user friendly and has recently had a colour scheme change to match coporate colours thanks to LP! As an administrator, I love the ease of creating course pages and editing them to match our themes. Everything is so user-friendly for both 'students' and myself as the administrator. I also love the range of catalogues and collections available, eith constant updates and new versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

There isn't anything that I dislike about Learning Pool, nothing I can mention as a negative point, fault or flaw. Of course pricing is always on everyone's list as everyone in the world wants the best product for the littlest price. But even then I think the price for the service, products and support received is good! So no faults. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Learning Pool move with the times and are often two steps ahead. Their course catalogues always contain up-to-date information that can be edited to be made more personal to your organisation and they always meet current topics of awareness too. For example, the ED&I catalogue is full of all 'newer' content of things that are more relevant now than they have been and although it's a catalogue that we don't own (yet, hopefully!), the topics are brilliant and current.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

The ease of use, it is very easy for our support workers to access and complete, as alot of staff use their phones for their manadatory training which LP allow unlike our last provider, meaning more time for SWs to complete as had to arrange time to come into the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

As im still new to LP i find it hard to fix some of the issues myself meaning i have to go through to the support team, the academy is great but some of the simple fixes are hard to find in the content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has allowed us to change the way we onboard new starters by being able to offer a hybrid approach thats limits what we can allow them to see and can focus them on just the learning and modules we need them to do, this has led to quicker onboarding times.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

When an organisation continues to win round after round of competitive tenders, with different colleagues on each panel, they must be doing something right.

Over the last three years, Learning Pool has become a most competent of trusted learning content learning partners. They are able to take the most difficult and challenging of content and effortlessly transform it into engaging digital content that resonates with the learners and gets translated into action on the job. And all for a very reasonable cost when benchmarked with their competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

It's hard to dislike working with Learning Pool. If there are issues, then they come up with solutions and are not afraid to challenge along the way and to provide an impartial "check and balance". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to equip our colleagues with the skills and knowledge to apply some quite complex regulatory and legal requirements to their work, in order to ensure that they can do the job out in the field. Not only did we need to make this as simple as possible, we also needed to make this as accessible as possible, so that it would not be a burden on the job. Through Learning Pool's thorough understanding of our issues and content, combined with their creative learning designs, our new content is meeting these needs.

The ability to speak to the team on the phone in order to trouble shoot issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

There are some bugs in the LMS so that the mobile view isn't quite right yet. Adapt doesn't seem to have been updated in a long while, it looks a little outdated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run accredited Blended Learning programmes for the Nursing Workforce and we host these on the LMS.

These are in 'Infection Prevention and Control', 'Leading Sustainability for Health and socialcare', 'Leadership to Improve Physical and Mental Health'

These are a mix of live virtual sessions in zoom and online resources for students to view as preparotory work before their next live session.

Their assignments are marked by Coventry University and theirfor students submit their assignments to Coventry's system.

We use the discussion group feature for each cohort.

This is allowing us to run 4 cohorts a year for each programme Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

Learning Pool supply us with a Learning Management System that meets the needs of our very diverse workforce. Its ease of use makes it ideal for our users who have varying levels of IT skills.

Learning Pool are continually developing new plugins for the site whic have made life so much easier for us as site managers and for our users.

Support from our Account Manager Jane is excellent and we have built up a very good relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

Some of the additional features have costs attached to them. Being a Local Government Organisation means budgets are tight and we can't always take advantage of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Access to our Learning Resources. Because Learning Pool host our LMS external to the organisation it makes it much easier for our users to access. Reporting is excellent and allows us to generate lots of different reports for all levels of management across the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

Since we first started working with Learning Pool, I have liked the way that it has teams available to help set up new products once we have been access to them. For example, when we first worked with Adapt, Stream and Learning Locker we had a dedicated team to help us learn the ropes of each piece of software and get them set up to our requirements. This gave us a great starting point to build from moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

While the Learning Pool customer support portal is useful for more simple queries, there are times when the responses haven't been useful and are quite basic which don't resolve, what seems to us to be, a fairly large issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a membershi organisation whom we supply free online learning experiences to and create bespoke premium courses available for purchase by the wider public; the LXP is allowing us to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

Learning pool has many features and components which are all fairly straight forward to use. However, when stuck the support at Learningpool is brilliant. The responses I get back are always swift and detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

I find that timelines are very vague with Learning Pool. I have asked whether a few different features would become available and have been told that they are upcoming. However, that term is vague and could be tightened down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

At Basis-Reg we design and build learning experiences using adapt and then host them on the Stream LXP. These two components work and talk to each other extremely well. We have just got Waves and Insights which we hope to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Learning Pool - Platform?

- Great support from Account Executives we have worked with over the years has helped to continually improve the offering we are able to give our learners.

- System is adaptable enoug to use in various ways (we use as a multi-tennant site with ring-fenced learning for individual client needs).

- Administering and creating the framework is straight-forward with a reasonable learning curve.

- Reporting tools allow creation and collation of properly useable MI at all levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Learning Pool - Platform?

There are certain blocks and site assets that would be improved if there was a little more control over their appearance and settings. This can sometimes be restrictive, although we have generally been able to find "workarounds" to get the desired end result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Learning Pool - Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to provide individual learning solutions to a now world-wide learner group. We are able to quickly create new orgs and audiences to suit needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
