Learning Management
Comparison of Learning Management features of Product A and Product B
If you have a school you can let teachers easily create new deadlines which [automatically] get shown in the calendar. Teachers can also [temporarily] hide deadlines [until] they've given the explanation about the tasks. [Besides] that the teacher can also choose what should be uploaded, should it be a link, file, pdf, link,...
Spiky sales coaching powered by AI. The difference between sales coaching and sales training is that coaching is all about improving what is already going on in your sales operations, so the results come faster for two reasons: a) Personalized recommendations to each member of the team based on analysis of their current sales meetings and performance. b) The recommendations and suggestions can be prioritized for implementation based on results. Sales training is about general best practices and skills that need to be acquired and practiced by your team for a certain time before you can see the results. It's more general, less effective, and less immediate. Spiky is sales coaching on steroids.
Learning management - Even as the educational landscape rapidly shifts due to current events, Canvas is a great LMS for providing a consistent learning environment for students.
Mobile accessibility - Students can access their courses on Canvas from a variety of devices, including their smartphones.
Rich content - Instructors have the ability to create dynamic and engaging content for their courses.
I don't particularly appreciate that it's only available in English.
We do also operate with customers in South America, where all conversations are carried in Spanish, so presently, we can only enjoy the competitive advantages in half of our sales operations.
This kind of breakthrough technology should be available globally.
Several factors contribute to my "10" rating. First, our university just made an enormous switch to Canvas, after we were with Blackboard for almost a decade. So garnering buy-in was critical, and not something we took lightly. After nearly 18 months (start to finish) of training faculty, educating stakeholders, and migrating courses, I am not looking to make a change again anytime soon. But I am happy with the result and the product overall and that is also demonstrated in my rating.
The functions in Canvas are well integrated and consistent across the application, and mostly intuitive. Overall navigation and setup is streamlined through integrated features and navigation. The feedback we've gotten from our program participants is that it is easy to learn to use. It also integrates well with third party software like Google Docs and Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing software
I do not personally use Canvas support since we have a central office that helps us. However, our central office always has the answers we need and are always able to solve our issues - so I would assume that get great support from the Canvas team on their end. They also offer great training, which uses materials directly from Canvas
Once you purchase and sign the contract there is nothing to install or hardware to buy. You can almost immediately start using it and have courses up and going within weeks. We signed in December and had pilot courses online ready to go for the start of school in January
Canvas is in the experience way better than Google Classroom. Canvas has a more robust agenda system that also allows adding in new personal deadlines. [Assignments] can be submitted past [the] deadline (if allowed), this isn't allowed by Google [Classroom], If you're too late you can't submit anything anymore. In Classroom [assignments], presentations/theory, and [announcements] are all put in 1 feed instead which gets confusing way faster.
After a robust evaluation, I honed in on Gong and Spiky.ai as the best options for my team. However, Gong was extremely expensive, and overall I was not impressed with their product or user interface. It required an extensive sales process and implementation to get going and was also not intuitive for my reps to use. Spiky.ai on the other hand provided a much better value, superior user interface, and were able to get my team on the platform in days not weeks. Beyond that, Spiky.ai is providing them with built-in coaching and several handy features like a summary of next steps and easy-to-understand analytics on performance.
Teachers have consolidated their content onto one platform which has decreased reliance of students on so much support staff assistance to access content.
Canvas has helped make technology transitions more seamless for the school community.
Once teachers have set up their page, Canvas really takes care of it all- they have much more time to focus on content creation and synthesis rather than the actual learning management system.
