Flexible but finicky web-based tool to create simple learning & comms content and manage modular content library; Great on content reuse, medium on interactively options, medium to low on other software integrations
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Xyleme for developing digital self-paced learning content/courses, and for content governance and content reuse across teams within Communications and Learning department.
Pros
- content reuse (linked content modules). Update content block in one place and it updates in all the other places where this block is used (linked)
- easy to train on and onboard new team members
- flexibility of output templates
- web-based tool - easy to develop directly from browser
Cons
- several features advertised as device agnostic or mobile friendly do not work properly on mobile
- finicky in many ways, sometimes you need to tinker with details for to long to make things work properly
- many UI solutions/elements that are not intuitive at all (even using the tool almost every day you need to make effort to remember how things are done)
Return on Investment
- train and onboard new learning developers on the team quickly and get them started to create courses
- ROI - don't have access to this information
