Evolve Authoring Reviews & Product Details

As someone who's still learning their way around Evolve, I appreciate the ability to see in real time what design decisions or alterations look like. I also like the degree to which you can customise components, which in turn enables the creation of more engaging learning activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is definitely a learning curve to styling activities built in Evolve. It will likely take a while to learn where in the theme settings you'll need to tinker in order to make a change in the styling of a block/component. The fact that there are several links that have the same or nearly identical title doesn't make things any easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The range of interactive components in the Evolve library. The possibility of reusing assets is very easy to do in the authoring tool, this saves time and effort and allows for the creation of module courses. The support team is fantastic. They get back to you within a day and provide you with actionable solutions. I love the possiblity of language versions within one course. This makes it tidy and it is very easy to export/import translations! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you now have to log in to intellum support to contact the support team instead of sending them a question directly from the authoring tool interface. This isn't as time efficient and a second log in is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the flexibility of the platform, and the customizable options it provides (although it takes quite a bit to figure out the sometimes enigmatic settings. I love the fact that the platform is on the cloud so you don't have to download or save hardcopies for versioning issues. I love the fact that the end-product can display like a webpage asset and the interactivity is fluid. Love the simulation activity - but some functionalities are definitely lacking accessibility (i.e. keyboard navigation) options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There need to be clear instructions on how colors are assigned, how article styles function, and where each setting influences exactly what elements? There are duplicate settings (for example, you can change the color of the components in multiple locations) - which can be good, but also causes confusion. I think you guys did an amazing job with this platform, and I love the fact that things are continuously improving. There are still so many grey areas, though, especially in the THEMEs.

The mobile first adaptability of content, able to copy, theme and reuse content (once you know how) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to find items in the theme "how do i change the colour of this component" on occasions can be a nightmare where to find the control. Though once you get your head around it, it becomes easier. Also could have more/better animated graphic option, i love using the infographic, but can be a long process to do something quite simple and doesnt adapt to different screen sizes.

Still learning, so sometimes it takes time to find where the right tools are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a really straightforward tool to rapid build in. It's great to prioritse accessibility in the tool and to customize the look/feel of a course. The customer support is always great and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes trying to navigate the theme settings can be challenging - things aren't always where you'd expect them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lot of customizability if you know how to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very time consuming, very hard to learn, not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web-based option allows you to work on course creation from anywhere without being fixed to a unique computer with installed software. The HTML-based components allow for easy readability from screen readers and various browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The surface is not very user-friendly when working with themes due to the amount of overlapping settings. Many of their best components are not accessible, which limits creativity when developing a course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the tool and customizability. The ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I like the ease of use, I think this could be far better, particularly around theming and helping users make good looking, consistent courses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The courses can be easily packaged and used among other LMSs. There are certain details, updated recently, such as the Live preview and xAPI packaging that does make using this authoring tool more desirable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Building a course is not as intuitive for inexperienced users. While Evolve has come a long way to ensure the user's experience is pleasant, it has been challenging to know where specific modifications and edits can be addressed in the course development cycle. Also, not enough people are aware and using the resource, so the community by which to find answers is more challenging as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
