Great for social learning
Pros
- Easy to upload content and videos and easy to edit and modify. Allows to program when a module or section can be launched and to schedule specific communication messages to audience. Assignments can be approved to review the quality of deliverables.
- The peer-to-peer learning features in NovoEd are great. Discussions allow to connect with the author of the discussion and also with peers. Peers can see other peer’s comments and submissions and comment and learn from those.
- User friendly, easy to navigate and structure easy to understand
- Leaderboard so participants can see how they are doing compared to others
Cons
- The options to design a page are limited: page width, navigation, margins, headers, etc. Design feels limited
- Does not allow for a lot of customization. All pages flow in the same way so after a few courses, feels repetitive
- I am not a technical expert, so I do not know how to embed html content to create other options to display content, in an example: sections that open when you click, etc.
- To have different languages, you have to clone the course and translate and create a separate course.
Return on Investment
- Very high participants engagement & participation (completion)
- Social components allows to avoid an isolated experience
