Easy to navigate! Tons of helpful resources to be found on site!
Nothing... I like everything! If I had to say anything, it's that I'm not marketing well enough to capitalize on all it's benefits
Thinkific helps me organize my Courses. And gives me the ability to have an Academy for my clients!
It's intuitive and has an exhaustive amount of features.
It doesn't have enough support for math courses
It helped me host my online course for math students in the Caribbean. It has great analytics features which helped me to remedy some issues with user engagement.
Thinkific customer service is the best in any industry. Not only is their platform easy to use, but their support will make sure your projects will launch on time and with the best industry practices in mind. It is super easy to create courses, bundles and content in Thinkific. However, their separation is their dedication to their customers. They are also super responsive to customer requests.
While their reporting is a little bit on the weaker side, it is constantly getting better and more robust.
We have been able to launch our entire elearning ecosystem not only a head of time, but under budget. They have helped us identify weakness in our free trial experience and offered solid advice on how to improve our process. They are constantly evaluating our site and offering recommendations for improvements.
The flexibility when building the course, the possibility to add different media and create quizzes. Free plan.
It would be nice to have more possibilities to blend our main site with the Thinkific platform.
It is the most flexible online teaching platform and it is a godsend for tutors who want to start a real business building online courses.
I like that the templates look nice, and the course builder is easy to use. They have great customer support too.
I dislike the reporting features, and that you can't check individual quiz results.
We have a home for our online course, and didn't have to get a more complicated platform.
Easy to use and great free features available.
Nothing so far. It's great to use and easy to add to.
It a great solution to teaching online.
simple launching easy import of courses no technical experience is required i.e. easy for beginners too retain contents right voice over slides are available allows to create your own brand
bit of technicality The price factor seems to be higher than other online course seems to be a nerdy one
allowsto share all courses through this dynamic platform, and you can choose the price plan that suits your needs.ease of use,features like voice over slides are simply amazing
allows to create you own online school (brand) it creates compelling content provides a video library very easy to understand and learn Very responsive to every question I've posed
some improvements are still needed but still a really good option for the creation of online course
i am able to create my own online courses and providing my students .My interaction with the students has been increased as students are finding it interesting and impressive
How easy it is to use, I am able to see my progress!
I wish I was notified more of where I was at in the course!
Training
I love the fact that I can have a professional training site for free that is entirely paced by the learner. I also love that I can track where they are throughout the training!
I don’t dislike much about the platform itself. I do wish that I could drip release the modules in the free version, but it’s amazing nonetheless.
I am able to connect my team with trainings that I have prerecorded in a way that feels like a professional e-course. It saves me tons of time and is effective.
Having a dedicated scale team has been invaluable as we migrated from a previous self-hosted LMS. We had a dedicated onboarding team and then the ongoing team that takes the time to learn our business goals has been a great change of pace.
There have been 1-2 times where I really wish there was weekend technical support available, to better align with my team's schedule.
Thinkific Plus allows us to focus more on content creation and significantly less on the headache of server management, technical oversight, etc
Easy & Powerful course creation and site-building tools.
Limited options for the Payment gateways
I started building my brand and growing my audience with the help of thinkific.
Onboarding was fantastic, our onboarding specialist Angela was really encouraging and looked after us through the setup, and was able to help facilitate a lot of requests and provided outstanding customer service. The support team are really friendly and very accomodating with my many many queries, and response times are fantastic. As we're based in Europe and Thinkific are in Canada there's always a guarantee that you'll have a response the next morning. The support team really care about the service they provide and believe in the product, and give their best to try and find a resolution. The platform itself is very easy to use and navigate, though limiting with customization features. Thinkific have taken a lot of our feedback and improvement suggestions on board and we're looking forward to seeing how they grow. It's a great platform that has so much potential to grow into an amazing one and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable LMS that is easy to administer. It's an ideal platform for anybody looking to delve into the world of eLearning, as it's incredibly user friendly and can offer a lot of support. With a lot of the API endpoints we've been able to creative and link Thinkific with Credly, allowing us to offer digital credentials and track these, and in turn grow our product. We've recently brought all of our training internally and have been able to really utilize what Thinkific offer with their API.
We've found some of the roadmap hasn't been clear in terms of where requests go and what the weighting looks like. e.g. there is a large emphasis on community which we don't and will never use, yet a lot of our requests for things like API endpoints would grow the platform massively but may never be implemented - this kind of option would offer so much more for users and cast a wider net. Even minor changes to the assessment (question order shuffle/cooldown on retaking quiz) would make it appealing for businesses. A lot of the customization features such as the course player and page designer have been really limiting. And some behaviours we have just had to live with; e.g. having to number the categories rather than add them in the order we want. We've also found the review tool to be very limiting and easily missed by users, which is really unfortunate as this would help sell our content to anyone considering taking our courses. With the site designer we'd had to 'get creative' quite a few times to meet our needs, this has unfortunately taken away from developing our own learning materials but we can't afford to keep going to partners. A lot of the templates for site building are fantastic but we find one of us editing a lot of the code to make it 'just right'. To credit Thinkific, they always work really hard to facilitate our requests.
We want to educate our users on our product (Make.com) and have pursued a learning pathway based around units/courses and bundles - Thinkific allows us to achieve this.
Quick support, can email and they get back to me pretty quickly.
They reach out like once a year to set up a meeting and it doesn't really help.
We have a bunch of different languages that we have translated our curriculum in. So having plus allows us to have multiple different sites.
Easy to put together the stages of the course, collection of subscribers, easy interface, just learning to use with tools, it is better value for money
I haven't found any downsides, not sure if anything is missing, everything seems to work well, I can expand on improvements once I am an experienced user
writing and setting up two online courses , the help on here is giving me confidence that I can do it, yes I m more productive
user friendliness from both the back end and the user side.
nothing just can't afford to unlock some of the other great functionalities
online learning, I have access to see learner progress on both individual and group. it also allows me to provide training for external clients and have them pay for my courses.
The interface is easy to navigate. The menus make sense and help guide you through the course set up process.
I do hope that they continue to add student experience features.
Thinkific has allowed us to quickly move to online and blended learning with our existing student base. The major benefit for us is the brand integration; many people do not realize that they have left our site.
You can set up everything and launch an online course in less than 24 hours. Thinkific is the cheapest in the market. They use Wistia for video hosting, which delivers the best user experience.
Lack of integration with other apps. The uploading is slow even with a fast internet connection, and sometimes it fails after maybe 99% of the uploading, and that happens with my students too, when they upload assignments.
Launching MVP effortlessly and testing out my market.
The tips given in their videos on how to make content
If Thinkific could promote my content to users
I have had few students take my course & I have been able to offer a language learning course which doesnt exist at all. Its first ever bangla course
