LearningStone

LearningStone as cornerstone for our products

Commenti: Works good, both for administrators and participants.

Aspetti positivi:

Interaction with group and adaptibility to needs of clients.

Aspetti negativi:

So many options, makes it difficult in the beginning.

Perfect help setting up

Aspetti positivi:

Help with setup Always easy to get in contact with support Easy to copy to other clients

Aspetti negativi:

No application for mobile so it takes time for trainers to work with it, instead of using their phone after a training to post something.

Experience using LearningStone

Commenti: Overall, really happy with LearningStone and have found the support offered by LearningStone really great - especially being offered extra training which has helped us get the most out of the site. All in all, a really positive experience!

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use from a course manager point of view - easy to set up new spaces and organise them so they are as user friendly as possible. Lots of really great features and I know the participants on our programmes really value having a central space for them to share experiences, access documents and track their learning.

Aspetti negativi:

When I first started using the site it initially seemed difficult to navigate but in the end it's really straight forward - would recommend taking up the opportunity for training from the LearningStone team as they're really helpful.

Great virtual learning environment for our clients

Commenti: Learning Stone enabled us for the first time to offer our European clients a fully customisable, cloud based, attractive, professional virtual learning platform, with a modest investment in time and resources. After a full year, we couldn't be more pleased. The interface is absolutely great, with a solid design 'under the hood' that is still being improved. We find it easy to work with, tailoring each and every course timeline to the specific requirements of the client, including their language, logo, and house style. The system is very stable, and while some functionalities are not fully intuitive, customer support is always at hand. Apparently we're not the only ones who work crazy hours. We appreciate that our change requests are invariably taken very seriously and usually lead to the desired outcome. One of the most important features has been that even my technically less savvy colleagues quickly learned how to use and enjoy the system, and not just by the easy copy-and-paste and tweaking of existing course timelines. The built in storage and video upload works great, enabling us to share all our materials with the client in a heartbeat. And it's fast! Adding, modifying or deleting building blocks, and moving them around, is literally a matter of minutes. Add to that the numerous options for group collaboration, a nice survey tool and low cost per user, and you have a winning formula. I'm convinced that 'blended learning' will become increasingly important and that the same applies to LearningStone as a leader in the field. Now, if they could only find a way to get the members of each and every learning group to flock to the VLE, sign up and start collaborating enthusiastically, life would be perfect. But I guess that will take just a little longer.

Aspetti positivi:

- great, versatile interface - easy to learn - reasonable cost per participant - fast and adequate tech support - continuous improvement

Aspetti negativi:

- some functionalities less intuitive (for now)

LearningStone makes my life as a trainer so much easier!

Commenti: We use LearningStone for our teacher training. It allows us to offer readings, videos and online sources in a very accessible environment. For me, the best thing ever is to be able to simply copy the contents of a course into the timeline for a new group. Really, course planning has never been easier! Also, our students (some of whom have no social media skills at all) often use the friendly looking message board for sharing ideas, questions and experiences, which greatly enhances the group interaction during course intervals.
I also love the options for private interaction, document sharing, etc. It is all very easy to use, and when I have a doubt about something in the program, the developers are always available to solve it. I warmly recommend this program to anyone who organizes training or coaching groups.

Aspetti positivi:

very accessible interface, friendly looking and adaptable to our own house style, very stable, affordable, saves loads of time, easy duplication of whole courses for new groups, everything in once place, I can do it all by myself

Indispensable for coaching my students

Aspetti positivi:

Lots of features to fill the timeline. Easy to duplicate for different groups. Great that archived groups remain accessible for future reference.

Aspetti negativi:

It takes (quite a lot of) time to fully understand all features.

LS feedback

Aspetti positivi:

It is fun, user-friendly & intuitive! For me it is a program that is easy to understand.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use, friendly of use, easy to change to own preferences.

Aspetti negativi:

I can not think of one, it is friendly of use.

LS helps is great for engaging our learners

Commenti: Learningstone for us is at its best for engaging participants of our programs. We very often use it for social learning purposes with smaller (10) or larger (300+) groups alike.

Partnership with LearningStone

Commenti: The overall experience is that you work with a partner, rather than with software.

Aspetti positivi:

The software is stable and rich. It gives me the opportunity personalize the look and feel.

Aspetti negativi:

You can feel the programmer in how the platform is designed and the user interface feels more like a programmer interface. On the other hand they take every suggestion you make serious and in due course you see the interface develop in the direction of a friendly user interface.

Professional platform

Commenti: We very much like working with Learning Stone as it has many options, it is user friendly, stable, and the customer service is very fast and friendly.

It is a professional platform with many options for downloading documents, agenda setting and e.g. e-coaching.

Great solution for trainers who want to engage in blended learning

Commenti: Locus training, coaching, and advice recently started working with Learningstone. This cloud-based platform has a great interface and works very stable.
The design is nice and for our trainees easy to understand. The collaboration features are great to support the social aspect of learning in groups and adds value to social learning dynamics
The course timeline is easy to understand for our trainees. Leanringstone offers great support when I started working with the program. As a trainer, you can do it all by yourself but colleagues can use it also.... A great solution for trainers who want to engage in "blended learning"

Aspetti positivi:

the easy to use interface wich helps me as a trainer to shape my course

Aspetti negativi:

no cons so far

Thrilled with how easy it is

Commenti: The Stairway Consultancy is a leading management consultancy in the UK dedicated to helping organizations increase their focus on their customers and develop their leadership and employee capability.
We discovered LearningStone when we were looking for a service that could support a management program involving trainees from all over the UK. It was important for us that we didn't have to start a long term project involving technical issues that would distract from our own work.
We needed a platform that would support both the organization of groups and offer us an online spot to organize the programme.
We've been thrilled with how easy the people at LearningStone have made it for us. Previous systems could take months to implement, LearningStone was a matter of days.
LearningStone has made it possible for us to let our participants collaborate in a private environment and get to know our company from another side.

LearningStone is my new assistant!

Commenti: Comments
I used LearningStone for an entrepreneurial course of 6 months. During this period the group gets information and is able to communicate with the teachers and each other. It cost me less time to have contact with them. I think it's a great tool.

Aspetti positivi:

This Programm works very easy. It saves me a lot of time. For the customer its looks very professional.

Aspetti negativi:

How to make the forms.

Great virtual learning tool

Aspetti positivi:

LearningStone uses similar standards and rules as other online classroom services, so I found it easy to use. It's all pretty straightforward. I really appreciate having the ability to switch to user view and in and out of edit mode. It takes a minimal amount of time to set this up.

Aspetti negativi:

Getting people to participate in LearningStone is our biggest con. This has nothing to do with the product itself. Some of our staff are hesitant to use technology and therein lies the problem. I have no doubt that once they try it, they wouldn't want to go back.

Helpfull tool

Aspetti positivi:

Easy way to use LearningStone and use of templates

Aspetti negativi:

difficult to automate administrative tasks
