What do you like best about SessionLab?

I first dipped my toe in the water of Session Lab four years ago when I was thinking of creating some workshops. I can't remember why I stopped using them, but when my colleague said his team was using them, and we could collaborate there, I hopped in, and realized this was an answer to so many issues I was having: time management, sharing easily with others, combining a lot of information quickly into one space. It has improved my delivery and expedited my creation with others. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SessionLab?

The interface is very easy to use, with drag & drop actions, yet very powerful when you start using the various features. By using categories, sections and days, you can easily plan your training sessions. The library is also an invaluable tool to build a set of exercices and training content that you can reuse, for example if you have the same training in different formats.

Moreover, you can co-create sessions with other trainers thanks to collaboration features, and the export options ensure you will be able to use the session script in many different ways Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SessionLab?

I started using the tool when it had just started, and although I found limitations at the beginning, the team have been very responsive and supportive, and the tool has been growing at a steady pace and removed the few things that were missing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planning training sessions and getting the right balance of sections to keep the trainees involved. What you don't see when doing your powerpoint presentation will be explicit when turned in a session script Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SessionLab?

The ability to re-organize blocks as needed, being able to add attachments as well and rich text so that we can use bullets, highlight text and so forth. I also love being able to have it calculate the time automatically to know how long the session runs and also having multi-tracks and multi-day sessions. Also, I love being able to categorise activities by colours. Basically, all the features are extremely useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SessionLab?

I wouldn't say I dislike anything, maybe I would add more features like for example being able to change the size of the columns to see side notes or adjust this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm able to organise sessions easier, keep track of session length and re-arrange the blocks if something comes up and I need to switch activities, for example. Also being able to keep everything in a single place. I can't emphasise enough how much this tool is a go-to for me daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SessionLab?

I work on a team that collaborates to develop instructor-led training sessions. SessionLab has been a game-changer for us. We can easily collaborate, use the library to find new ideas, and see the structure of our sessions using the Session Lab tools. Having our session information in one place is critical for our team. Now anyone can pick up a Session Lab course and teach it exactly the way it was envisioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SessionLab?

When we started, we were so excited to use all of the bells and whistles that SessionLab offered that we overdid it a bit and scared our instructors. Too many colors! We've learned what is most effective for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SessionLab:

I had never seen anything like SessionLab. It has streamlined my workflow immensely. I appreciate the library of ideas that I can explore when I'm looking for fresh ideas. It has helped me tighten up my instructional design and made our team collaborations easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One problem SessionLab solved is consistency. Our training materials were in different formats and that led to confusion with different instructors. During the pandemic, it was important for us to have all of our courses outlined in SessionLab for contingency planning. Now anyone can log in to SessionLab and teach any one of our courses.
