NovoEd Reviews & Product Details

NovoEd learning platform is a cutting edge contemporary learning online platform, which constantly evolves, bringing powerful and relevant new features every few weeks. The platform is very intuitive, user friendly and offers a blended approach for combining synchronous and asynchronous self-paced elements. The design features are easy to use. I like a lot the possibility to include various types of individual and team assignments, share peer-to-peer feedback and interact in small groups in a dedicated space. Moreover the platform is fully mobile responsive and content can be viewed on a small screen device. At NovoEd the teams are very customer oriented, listen to customer feedback and respond very fast with a solution-oriented mindset and attitude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find non-useful features of NovoEd platform. An area to further grow and explore is more dynamic and flexible visual design identity on lesson pages as well as more game-based or gamification elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NovoEd provides Learning & Development professionals with an intuitive, flexible framework to design and deliver high-impact training experiences. The platform allows you to blend different content modalities including text, video, SCORM packages, discussion threads, quizzes & polls, and live webinars all within a singular learning environment; making it a seamless experience for class participants. What's more, participants can collaborate together in team workspaces, upload individual or team assignments, and receive evaluation scores and feedback from class facilitators and/or mentors. Finally we have a digital solution where participants can learn from the courseware, learn from each other, learn by doing, and learn from personalized coaching feedback...all in ONE place!

I found the editing tools to be a bit cumbersome during the course design phase. I spent more time than I anticipated scrolling through my lessons and opening different menu options to get my content properly formatted and functioning the way I intended. This became easier over time and the NovoEd team was able to assist with any challenges I encountered along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about NovoEd is its intuitive UI/UX. As a new learner, I can look at the screens and pretty much know exactly what to do. Beyond that, they offer short tutorial videos and in-platform message tips in case I don't know what to do. This platform would be easy to use for employees of all ages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'll start by saying that my response is no fault of NovoEd's own. The challenge with implementing NovoEd as a learning solution is that it may be viewed by employees as ANOTHER platform they have to use / log in to. Employees in today's digital age have to manage access to so many tools and platforms already. It may feel disjointed if a company is running NovoEd as a learning solution concurrently with other learning solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

NovoEd's platform is simple to use for the instructional designer, the learner and the course facilitator. Very intuitive and flexible tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm eager for some of the newer features they've introduced to become more robust. For example, the ability for instructors and learning teams to set up meetings that can populate participants calendars through and ICS file download or similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to create new courses, how many options there are for content, how open they are to implementing customer feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some User Experience issues: Hate that I have to go to the top of the page in order to save a reordering of lessons/content, wish there were more options to customize text. Bummed we can make a video to be watched as an official "assignment". I also don't like the contract scenario...if we enroll new participants, it should be a year from their first sign in, not by contract, where if you add licenses halfway through the year for new participants, they don't lose their course access in 6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many aspects about NovoEd that I love, but if I had to choose one NovoEd freed up a substantial amount of time automating what was originally done manually. It makes managing multiple programs not only do-able but easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The is not a single thing I do not like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

NovoEd is aesthetically pleasing. Users find it very easy to navigate and it's easy to build courses. Customer Success Manager really listens to users concerns and questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many basic features missing from NovoEd such as poll options, creating interactive activities aside from just assignments, etc. You can create these in a separate program and embed on to NovoEd, but it would be a lot easier if these were added to the tools NovoEd does use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the new setup that allows very easily for us to provide content, and change things with ease. We have used this two years now, and the new setup that came early this year - was just amazing. Suddenly, we could iterate and build realtime and teach others to start building in just a short few minutes. That`s incredible.

It could be slow to upload sometimes if you have good internet it should be fine though. I know there is a roll-out of being able to use content offline which is going to solve that problem quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to build your own content... no need to be technical expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Download your content (to know which videos you placed where, which conversations are lead by whom, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NovoEd is an incredibly easy to setup and easy to use solution to deliver 'facilitated' self-paced courses. Their 'assignment/task management' functionality is one of the solutions' strengths, bringing a whole other dimension to self-paced courses - which allows the learner to practise the knowledge they have gained with either peer or expert feedback. Highly recommend this platform to any company that needs to build capabilities (knowledge, skills or behaviours) in individuals sitting across many geographies and/or with individuals that want to learn with others, but at their own pace! You can bring a traditional classroom experience to an online experience - achieving the same results - but with the additional benefit of reaching a much bigger volume of learners at a time.

At this stage there are no areas of the NovoEd platform we dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to other very pricey learning management systems out there, NovoEd fits within our budget while also offering everything we need. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful (especially Rebecca!) and responsive to our needs or questions that arise. Many of the recent updates have made NovoEd much easier to use from a course-building standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features can be a bit clunky, such as the data downloads making it difficult to quickly access info while staying in NovoEd, but it's not a huge hassle. Simply changing the type of task will likely mitigate this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how the tool is friendly enough to not require a thorough walk-through on how to navigate, additionally that the "MOOC" modality can give our learners access to small pieces of learning anytime, anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is limited visibility on the admin side on how the tool is being used across all the learning experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The likes are many. The flexibility in design is a true standout from their competitors! Additionally the feature-sets are the most comprehensive allowing us to create a diversity of experiences in our learning program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NovoEd is still rapidly growing and so global infrastructure is still maturing - language pack, 24-7 global support, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Going from using Google Classroom courses to NovoEd has been a total game changer! I love how easy it is to create a new course (once you get the language down of how the system works), particularly being able to copy lessons/lesson content, easily move lessons around, embed different forms of content (e.g. videos, Google files, pdf's, etc), and the ease of using the platform among learners and admins/teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more templates available and options to further customize parts of courses (e.g. being able to edit the colors and fonts used in the titles of lessons beyond what can be done now). It would be great to have actual templates of example courses customers can use to get started with a course. I ran into challenges with formatting, especially using the quiz/assignments feature where I couldn't bold or italicize fonts without doing it manually via HTML.

I also was confused about the role of our account manager and why she would go MIA for periods at a time (several weeks at least) and be unresponsive to emails leading me and my colleague to rely on your support team for assistance (who have been great). Furthermore, just a few weeks ago our account manager emailed us that she was leaving NovoEd and that was her last day providing no new contact to connect with...I still never finished all of the onboarding meetings (or whatever they're called) to finish designing and launching my first course, I was waiting to hear back from her about scheduling before getting the email from her about leaving. I think more clarity around the role of account managers would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about NovoEd is their amazing customer support. They take care of their customers. I also love the platform itself. The UI and UX are great, and the social layer adds something special. Students are able to form crews, review each others' work, and chat with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to using NovoEd is that it is not very admin friendly. It takes a very long time to set up a program because there is not a way to bulk upload content. And there is also not a way to bulk un-enroll students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our customer success person is extremely responsive and helpful, and always willing to hop on a call to demo a feature or explain something we're unclear on. There are quite a lot of features built out, especially around social interactions on the learning platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be a gap between their customer success team and their engineering team, where sometimes bugs take quite a while to get fixed and there is miscommunication around the functionality of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am implementing a course with the NovoEd team and i like they way your processes are and how you develop content together with meetings with client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not very familiar yet but I would say there is a bit of lack of pedagogy knowledge in the team.

Also, not being able to have programmed group discussions is a pity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use / design with, excellent support, regular introduction of new features. What's not to like? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recent redesign took some getting used to. Also, quite a bit of turnover in the support role, although handovers have been pretty smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The student submission gallery is a useful tool, and utilized throughout our courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

slow loading times can make creating and editing content difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NovoEd is a very clean, visually appealing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing very basic features that are common on other LMS. Not a lot of opportunity to customize the interface based on your company/design. Seem to still be growing up a bit and experiencing some growing pains. A lot of random bugs pop up that no one seems to have an explanation for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the platform as a whole, but probably the assignments features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the platform can sometimes be a little difficult to navigate at first. Some better in-line help for first time users would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to download and complete offline on-the-go with your Ipad, not too simple information and fun with before and after quizes to benchmark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not remember if there is a leaderboard to see how i compete with others. Somehow the navigation did not seem dummy-proof to go from one topic to the next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
