Degreed LMS

Efficient way to track your learning paths.

Pros

I find it convenient how I can easily bring together courses and learning paths from various sources.

Cons

It took me some time to get the hang of using it effectively.

Perfect tool to improve as a person and at work

Pros

Creating my own learning pathway is incredibly beneficial for me to track my development and follow a checklist. It is at the core of my learning journey.

Cons

While I appreciate the learning pathway feature, I find it a bit challenging to use at times. It would be helpful if selecting content were easier; for example, adding a checkbox without automatically adding it to the selected list.

Robust content aggregation platform that uniquely promotes personal and professional growth

Pros

I appreciate how the content is tailored uniquely to my interests and needs through simple data points collected passively and actively. The design, with ample whitespace, encourages focused exploratio also it is fantastic tool for tracking my professional progress across various fields and skills.

Cons

There are not any cons directly related to the product itself, but if I had to mention one thing, it would be that the content push could be a bit more assertive. Sometimes, it is easy to put off learning when it's seen as something to do "when I have time," leading to a false narrative of not having enough time.

This is Worth it

Pros

It is like having a digital university at my fingertips, accessible anytime, anywhere. I highly recommend it for fellow employees looking to enhance their skills.

Cons

Some links require payment and registration, which can be inconvenient. Perhaps Degreed could automatically link to these sites and negotiate with the companies to cover the costs.

Useful tool for L&D - but could be improved

Pros

The Chrome extension proves to be incredibly helpful in encouraging consistent use.Creating pathways provides a simple yet effective way to structure cross-media training plans.

Cons

The category feed has not been very relevant for me, and there is limited customization available. Scoring for different learning resources can be inconsistent. For instance, if something is behind a paywall, Degreed may underestimate its length and assign it a low score.There is no easy way to re-categorize content, such as changing an article to a video.

i love degreed

Pros

I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this software! As someone who loves learning, I immediately dove in. What I appreciate the most is the ability to filter specific subjects I am eager to develop. Kudos to Degreed for a job well done!

Cons

I have encountered several sites that require additional registration and payment.

Love the Ability to Personalize

Pros

I am a big fan of Degreed! I love the flexibility to either create my own learning pathways or choose from existing ones. The wide array of subjects to choose from is impressive, and finding free learning materials is a breeze. The gamification aspect adds an extra layer of enjoyment as I earn points for expanding my knowledge and track my progress through graphs.

Cons

I found it a bit challenging to navigate. It took me a moment to understand what a "pathway" was. I also got frustrated when I discovered that some courses I was interested in had a high cost. It would be helpful if paid courses were clearly marked or separated. Despite these issues, it's still a good tool for organizing articles and topics I want to learn about.

Pulls all your additional learns from the web into one spot

Pros

The organization of classes and learning schedules is straightforward. I particularly love the seamless integration of learning resources from across the web.

Cons

While the class and learning schedule are easy to follow, it is frustrating that if I leave or close the window, I have to start from the beginning and click through all the checkboxes again to get back to where I was.

Degreed in the Workplace

Pros

The integration team members are amazing, bringing extensive industry knowledge and experience to the table. Degreed offers a wide variety of courses suitable for any company aiming to foster continuous education among its employees.

Cons

Degreed could improve its data storage options for documents, as they are currently stored in various places. This necessitates additional connections to access the files, such as through SharePoint.

Excellent for Tracking Learning

Pros

Tracking learning categories is invaluable. Since learning is an ongoing process, having a platform to organize and stay updated on my knowledge gains is fantastic.

Cons

I wish there was a way to translate the learning and achievements recorded on Degreed into something tangible for employers or academic institutions to recognize as credit.
