What do you like best about Prodient.io?
I manage the ID and LMS for a start up that specializes in training participants to incorporate Virtual Reality in their own training. The LMS that we use does allow content authoring but at a basic level - there was a large amount of pre-reads that had been haphazardly placed in a messy set of disconnected pages on the LMS. When I joined, one of the first things I did was to package all the pages into a much more interactive, neater, slicker SCORM package that could also track completion. We immediately saw an increase in engagement and the number of learner complaints with the LMS dropped drastically.Some of the things I loved about Prodient:
1. Ease of use: I was up and running in about an hour with the tool. Prodient is created keeping the non-technical developer in mind. As a new user to the tool, I picked it up very quickly which worked well for me. I had joined a new job and needed to create an impact quickly. Prodient helped me do that!
2. A massive repository of templates: Prodient has an impressive stash of templates to choose from (about 60 as of now and I'm sure more would be added soon), from basic image-and-text templates to complex gamified options, depending on your content, your client, and your audience. Some of the templates that I have used often are the accordion, tabs, clickable hotspots over an image. Some really cool options are the image comparison, where you can compare two images by dragging a pointer back and forth, with one image laid over another and the scratch-and-reveal text template. A few learners specifically commented on that page commenting that it was a pity that they hadn't won a coupon! Some of the gamified templates that I thought were cool were the Find-A-Word, a word search template and the Color Connector.
3. Ability to localize a course into multiple languages: Prodient is one of the few tools in the market today that provides you with the capability to design in multiple languages quickly and easily.
4. Text-to-speech: Creating quality audio has never been easier! Apart from the ability to add your own mp3 files, Prodient's text-to-speech tool makes it easy to create quality audio in a variety of languages, voices, accents and dialects.
5. Receptive team: How many times have you written to the support group when your authoring tool fails to work hoping to hear back? The team at Tesseract are the most prompt to revert and have issues fixed. Even in the templates page where there are 50+ templates to choose from, you can see a Request-a-template button, which shows you how open the team is.
6. Regular updates that keep improving the tool based on feedback received - I see new features added like accessibility as a case in point - almost each time I open the tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
