What do you like best about NovoEd?

The ability to provide immediate feedback and collaboration for our teams in the flow of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

Not many things I dislike about NovoEd...Maybe the licenses and how you cannot move them around if folks change roles or leave the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How do we continue to train our teams virtually. How can we create similar experiences and results from an in person training to a digital platform. And once we return to in person training, how can NovoEd enhance the way we train in person and better utilize our time. We've been able to effectively train in the flow of work.

What do you like best about NovoEd?

The simplicity of the tools. The way you can drag and drop the contents into the space and you can duplicate or move the content between modules and sections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

The tool menu, that gets hidden every time you need to add or edit an asset.

The edit button on top right of the screen is not very user friendly and hard to find for a newbie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a learning content creator in a learning consultant enterprise, NovoEd is one of the easiest and seamless CLMS platforms I used.

In fact our customer is the one that has the license and they just gives us access to design their courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NovoEd?

From a Learner view, the cohort aspect where Learners can learn, not only from the instructor but each other is excellent, also, they really enjoy the gamification aspect.

From an admin point of view, the flexibility of the notifications and analytics as well as the variety of assignment types available is extremely useful for managing courses and content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

The Learner Leaderboard is excellent but we'd really like to see a Team Leaderboard as well. Additionally, The license model is not formatted ideally for our business model, although the NovoEd people have been very good at working with us to find new solutions on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They have recently changed their UI for Admins as well as added Learning Journeys to the Learner experience which have given us new ways to look at courseware and curricula. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of options for you to manage your content. You can time-release material in order to offer a self-paced course.

The user management system is also easy to navigate if you are the administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NovoEd?

The platform made it easy for us to make existing content more engaging by using different formats and interactions. Also it enabled individual feedback from a group of course coaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

The navigation for learners and coaches can be confusing if the course is not carefully designed. Attention to design still matters! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The NovoEd worked with us to migrate an existing online course from another platform, which was not simple to do. Learners are delighted with the new course, in no small part due to what the NovoEd platform and team has enabled us to change and augment to make the experience better.

NovoEd's platform is intuitive for both learners and developers to create engaging content that enables both knowledge gathering as well as applied practice and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

NovoEd isn't great for smaller modules of content; courses tend to be a little bit longer. You can break it up using multiple sections but those aren't true modules in an LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NovoEd has helped us find a safe spot for learners to easily apply, collaborate, and get feedback to develop their skills. Previously we had multiple applications that were being used which lead to a lot of confusion for learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NovoEd?

Learner results, engagement, discussions, networking, sharing, friendly competition with Leaderboard. Can include third-party content, eLearning, Zoom, embedded documents/presentations, images, and more to create visually appealing journeys with interaction. Assignments can be individual or team-based. NovoEd team is very responsive to questions and offering help or resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NovoEd?

Limited template options constrain some program design elements and page set-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NovoEd helps us bring global learners together, increase learner networking, and cross-functional interactions for our own program and our clients. We see leadership behavior change when we build assignments that require the leader to go back to their job, try a new skill, and share the outcomes with their peers. We also tie the social learning journeys to a capstone project to apply new skills now and after the program. Learners are more transparent and open in the closed, private cohorts that NovoEd offers. A NovoEd journey is a safe place for leaders to learn and for us to realize real business results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
