LatitudeLearning reviews

I am a one person training department who relies heavily on Latitude learning to help me.

Opmerkingen: OSHA compliance and tracking. New employee on-boarding. Monthly safety training. I do all of this with the help of Latitude learning.

Pluspunten:

It works. My learners like to use the system and the training. Your support people are the best. They are always willing to answer a question and help out.

Minpunten:

I have looked at the Captivate LMS and like the visual graphic interface. It is difficult to (for me) change my certification curriculum. I would like to see templates of pages to use for my site. I am not a HTML programmer, so making pages easier for me would be better. Possibly the use of an outside tool like DreamWeaver, XD, or other easy to use webpage builder and import a page.

Does exactly what I need.

Opmerkingen: Helps us track certifications for our training department.

Pluspunten:

You cannot beat the price. The value of what you get for the money cannot be beat. 100 concurrent users for free is amazing.

Minpunten:

I wish the reporting was a little bit better. I would love to be able to see better stats regarding questions missed on tests.

Review

Opmerkingen: Very positive experience. The implementation team has infinite patience.

Pluspunten:

latitude was built for business so the implementation team spoke our language in understanding our organization. It allows the client to have control over who and when training occurs but still sets a standard for accreditation.

Minpunten:

Too many steps that our business model did not need, so parts seem redundant. Wish you could turn off some functions and go directly to result. ie. going from role to required courses is too many steps.

Difficult to Learn

Opmerkingen: I was looking for a way to run an online school. I did not find what I needed and would not recommend this website based on my experience.

Pluspunten:

It seems to look nice. What? Do I need to add more before you will allow me to go on? There is nothing more good I can say about it.

Minpunten:

It is difficult to setup and create courses. There are many other LMSs out there that are much easier for the teacher to setup and use. I was looking for a replacement for Instructure's Canvas that also has a free for teachers service, but does not allow the setup of a school in the free for teachers program. LL seems to have the school, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions and no apparent way to find the answers. What would have been better would be if they automatically enrolled you in their own course that explains how to use their service. Frankly, I just got frustrated trying to figure it out and gave up. It just was not worth the effort.

Not a bad system for the money

Opmerkingen: It's ok. Not the best on the market.

Pluspunten:

A lot of functionality and features. Definitely will meet a majority of a company's needs. This is a big strength of the system.

Minpunten:

It's not very user friendly. The learning curve is high and even then the steps are very complicated. Seems like they could find easier ways to do tasks.

Just what we needed!

Opmerkingen: We didn't have to invest a ton of money to develop a new-hire skills assessment that we only use once in a while, but it's there when we need it.

Pluspunten:

There is a great deal of flexibility in the assessment styles. We needed a solution for a pre-hire skills assessment. I used to be a K-12 teacher, and I was looking for something inexpensive to use in my current role in HR, but we didn't want to invest a ton of money into something we wouldn't use very often. This really solved all of our problems.

Minpunten:

The only thing that I feel is missing from this user experience is a way to filter teacher-touch essays and non-auto-graded questions through the grading system. My workaround is to assume those questions are going to be scored incorrectly, and inform the user beforehand that their score will not reflect accurately their skill level.

Pretty good solution for my needs

Opmerkingen: Improved learning process of employees among with other E-learning tools we use.

Pluspunten:

compatibibilty with our internal softwares. Issues and errors are rare. Adaptations can be done quickly and efficiently. No frequent/earnest need yet to contact custommer support, but I guess thats a good sign.

Minpunten:

Somehow the interface of tools. Doesn't allways work intuitive. I still have issues making reports, I sometimes need different information but the provided info.

Great if you are getting started

Pluspunten:

I have used the free version of this for some time. It is a cost-effective way to publish courses online.

Minpunten:

The out of the box version is ugly. It takes a lot of knowledge and work to make it not look cookie cutter.

Excellent experience so far, helped make training in our workplace more accessible.

Opmerkingen: Logging of user training completion is made much easier, and also the ability for employees to be able to train when they have time makes it easier than having to pull them into a room at different times in order to go over training. This helps a lot considering we have more than one location.

Pluspunten:

There are lots of features and customization's available right off the bat with the site. There are many different options for class setup and presentations. Also one thing I like a lot is the ability to generate the various reports which makes keeping logs for compliance purposes easier.

Minpunten:

There is a little learning curve when it comes uploading classes and creating classes, but not terribly hard at least. Seems really easy for employees to create their own accounts which sounds good, but when their accounts are predesignated by me, it forces me to go back and merge duplicate accounts to make sure everyone shows the correct completion of courses.

Simple LMS for small projects

Pluspunten:

If you are in need of an LMS to show your portfolio or just as a sample, then the free small version of Latitute Learning LMS is great. It has a simple but effective amount of features which work perfectly for simple needs.

Minpunten:

Obviously, for the price it is basic but if you only need this for showing a portfolio or small-scale courses, then this is great.

Easy to design and understand how to use the LMS

Opmerkingen: Customer Satisfaction

Pluspunten:

The software is very easy to use and understand. not having much of a tech background, I was still able to design the system based on our needs. The users manual is very helpful.

Minpunten:

I can't think of anything that I dislike about the software. I have already recommended the system to several others

User Friendly

Pluspunten:

LatitudeLearning provides Great Customer Support. Easy implementation and customization. User testing was great too.

Minpunten:

LatitudeLearning was kind of expensive to buy/subscribe. I'd recommend they come up with a more cost friendly option.

Great LMS

Pluspunten:

Vast functionality. Easy to roll out to multiple sites, administrators and users. Library of free content is deep.

Minpunten:

Not immediately intuitive. Took time to set up before rolling to administrators. Users needed some instruction around how to access the content.

Excellent software that is intuitive.

Opmerkingen: The ability to catalogue customer learning and offer certification for that learning.

Pluspunten:

The logic is good so going from one point of process to the next is reasonable. It is relatively easy to use and provides a needed resource for customers.

Minpunten:

Some functions could be improved with "smarter" technology so that repeated effort can be avoided. Like name recognition with new entries. The software should be able to suggest it knows what you're inputting and update pervasively so that at all points of the process the information added will be reflected and therefore easier to find.

Latitude Learning has a course to cater to the needs of every level of post-adolescent learning.

Opmerkingen: The opportunity to do several courses for a very nominal fee. These courses can be basic refreshers in certain areas which was covered while I was in college. Additionally, there are also courses which I have not really had much training in so there is an opportunity to gain some knowledge in that area.

Pluspunten:

It is easy to use. Many websites are not user friendly and this makes it difficult to scroll through to courses.

Minpunten:

Can be time consuming to navigate courses. There are several courses which is good as this allows for multidisciplinary training opportunities. However, there are often so many courses which are to your liking that it is time consuming to look at all of them.

over all its good experience

Pluspunten:

ease of using this software and user friendly also nice features & functionality with dedicated customer support

Minpunten:

user friendly,ease of using this software and user friendly also nice features & functionality with dedicated customer support

A strong LMS capable of handing multiple groups and divisions of learners

Pluspunten:

A fully developed LMS that provides comprehensive capabilities. No excuse for not trying out the LMS. I like the certification management abilities as well. The Location codes would be helpful for multi city companies. Approvals features are no found in many other LMSs so it is nice to have.

Minpunten:

Could have a more contemporary look to the LMS, but, it is still is very capable. Not really anything to complain about though.

Great LMS for small organizations

Opmerkingen: I am new to LMS and was looking for one that fits the learning needs of my operations. While most other LMSes out there offers time limited free trials, Latitude's free for 100 active users really is a blessing to small companies. Also more than 70+ pre-loaded e-learning courses are great!

Pluspunten:

1) Full featured even for the free LMS - announcements, reporting, people manager's visibility of employees' learning journeys, easy enrollment for employees, web/cloud-based. 2) self-guide video is very information and helps someone new to LMS get up to speed quickly 3) Responsive technical support which resolves all my queries 4) Can customize to our company brand 5)

Minpunten:

People Managers need to have an easy way for them to set learning goals for those employees directly reporting to them instead of having to go through the administrators. I do not see this functionality available to them when I impersonate as them to verify what they see.

GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ONLINE

Opmerkingen: I have learned many new things. It is my wish to find other relevant courses to my career. Learning is my passion. Equiping myself more and more is my motto.

Pluspunten:

indepth knowledge imparted.

Minpunten:

Up to now, none.

This is just what i need to move my business and increase profit and i enjoyed using your products

Opmerkingen: Customer satisfaction and am creating a long lasting brand for the company, an experience that will last long, majority of my customer testify about their experience. I love that.

Pluspunten:

I love the user friendly environment, the Learning Management System is awesome, my uncle was pleased when i used it in one of his schools.

Minpunten:

Incorporating students database from different school wasn't easy for me , its a challenge but am learning more of what the software will do for my business

Had a little trouble configuring the LMS to fit NYC DOE standards

Pluspunten:

Web based and easy to maintain. The implementation into the DOE system seemed seamless. Easy to push contents to users

Minpunten:

Customer support and rigidness in features. It as hard to update role and title thru the front UI. Backend updates were required to get desired features

When looking for a new LMS, I compared Latitude Learning to most of the established compeition.

Pluspunten:

It's free!! It is one of the only fully featured free LMS options out there...then again you do get exactly what you paid for too. It's not a horrible option if your budget constrained, but it might not be the best tool out there either.

Minpunten:

It's a bit clunky when working with the design tools and you are pretty limited. Again, being a free LMS, I can't really expect it to be perfect.

Highly interactive professional distant learning system I have ever experienced.

Opmerkingen: I have committed my business to use this software for our E-Learning and workforce development programs internationally.

Pluspunten:

It took some time to assimilate the extensive boot camp content, but it becomes easy and practical to apply after studying the process, the basic application of the principles and the practical application becomes easy.

Minpunten:

It is labor intensive to customize to client's specifications. This translates into its cost of professional implementation of the software, especially for administrators with limited IT skills.

Great LMS for the Corporate world

Opmerkingen: Having been in the corporate training industry for many years, as well as an experience instructional designer, I was looking for the perfect LMS that would track and report staff learning as well as be flexible enough for the trainer and instructional designer. Latitude Learnings LMS is exactly what I was looking for. The ease of use is not just for the learner, but includes the Admin and designer as well. It easily accepts my Captivate files and plays them exactly as intended. Its a great application, simple enough for those that don't need all the bells and whistles and big and strong enough to handle everyone's training needs and requirements. Thanks

I like the price, but I don't like the user interface.

Opmerkingen: I figured out that I needed a better user interface.

Pluspunten:

I like that the pricing is low and would help me launch an online training program without too much overhead, especially with the free-tier giving me the ability to beta test my content without having to incur the cost of paying for the LMS. I also like having the ability to run reports on enrolled learners' activity.

Minpunten:

The user interface. It's hard to navigate and it's not very appealing visually. It'd be fine if I was doing certifications for plumbers, but it's not going to keep the attention of millennials, who are my primary target audience.
