Thinkificのレビュー

This is where I have my courses

製品を使ってみた感想： Anytime I have a problem their tech support is great. And I haven't had any tech problems with the platform - my students are happy and use it easily.

良いポイント:

When I was researching all the different software for course hosting, I liked that this had a place to upload documents in the discussions. That might be really important for people teaching code or other products. Then I'm glad I choose this one because others take a % of income AND you have to wait longer for money.

改善してほしい点:

The layout isn't as clean and modern as others - I'm hoping that will be updated at some point. It's a little ugly.

Fills a gap in this space with enthusiasm!

製品を使ってみた感想： Blackboard Course sites, Moodle, and Instructure Canvas are great products, but you have to invest in additional solutions to collect payments, etc. for selling the online courses. Thinkific does all this in 1 system with more options for site design than the big education players do. Some of the features could be more well-thought-out, but for a non-LMS company, it is incredibly easy to set up and allows you to design instructional sound materials.

良いポイント:

I liked that you could design the access portal, the courses, and the payment methods all in 1 interface without any needs for additional products. I particularly enjoy how easy it is to set the courses up if you have your curriculum designed.

改善してほしい点:

I wish there was an option to be able to have access to all the course features without fees. We are a startup and just are not in a position to charge for courses yet, meaning this would be a huge investment for us that we are not willing to make. It would be great if you could get a 6month burn-in period to test and market before going live.

Awful customer support, slow page load speed and terrible for SEO

製品を使ってみた感想： I got the plus plan so that I have a "dedicated rep" who is almost always out of the office. Whenever I contact customer support because of a problem, which is several times a day, they "can't duplicate the issue" so they don't have a solution. The page load speed fails every test. When I contacted them for support on this issue, they recommend I have the site redesigned by a professional who could help with page load speed. I hired one of their "experts" to redesign the site, and her design does not look or feel any better than mine and also did not help with the page load speed so I'm out $40k for no reason.

良いポイント:

I like that it is easy to use, it's easy to upload your course material and publish your course.

改善してほしい点:

My main issues with thinkific include very slow page load speed (which kills SEO rankings), dysfunction in the assignment feature (specifically, when clicking "next page" on the assignments, it takes you back to page 1 and you have to start all over), inability to edit a course landing page (my course has been published for 4 years and the URL is out in google so I don't want to recreate and for some reason we can no longer edit the page at all), and problems with user experience (students not being able to load a page, etc)

Suitable For All Levels

製品を使ってみた感想： Thinkific has been perfect as a solution for my starting an online training product that also has spreadsheet tools included. My experience has been great. I have only once had to contact support and it turns out it was my error that was causing a visual issue, which was soon easily corrected, once I saw my error. They were quick to spot what I'd done and let me know.

良いポイント:

That it's really comprehensive, yet still has a free to low-cost entry-level option. It's easy to use and looks visually great too with its customisable interface options. Oh and I love that you can i-frame other websites and URL's into your courses (this is great for spreadsheets and websites) - it saves a lot of time and energy, and updating! Oh, and it has / had a low payment processing fee structure.

改善してほしい点:

I haven't hit any issues with it yet so to date there's nothing I don't like about it.

Thinkific LMS platform. An honest review

製品を使ってみた感想： Thinkific is a great LMS with many inbuilt integrations. Even though most of the integrations are not free, they help in building a better LMS all round.

良いポイント:

Other than being a good Learning management platform, students could upload video contents and gifs in the communities of a thinkific school. This isn't possible with other LMS I've used. I think this is a great advantage in my opinion as videos drives conversations better.

改善してほしい点:

If I could upload SCORM/HTML5 contents it'll be a better product for me. Also, the course builder layouts are not as sleek as I expected in comparison to other products.

The Best Online Course Creator

製品を使ってみた感想： We started with an idea to help colleagues and turned it into a course. Thinkific allowed us to get our idea out of our heads and into reality, and a usable product people could buy & use.

良いポイント:

Thinkific made it easy to create & host our digital course for financial advisors. With any platform there is a learning curve at the beginning. Thinkific's support team was always quick to reply and help us learn the ropes.

改善してほしい点:

I don't really have any complaints. It would be nice if the WYSIWYG editor were as good as Apple Pages, and turned out prettier text layouts in the templates. But, it's good enough.

Not as I expected

製品を使ってみた感想： Dissapointed

良いポイント:

Branded and look profesional, easy to use for startup

改善してほしい点:

All the suscribtion not allowed another admin , I can’t invite freelancer to do the job. And the suscription exeoensive to allow another admin, compare to other platform thinkific is expensive with less feature

Great tool. It would be just better if you build a mobile App for students.

製品を使ってみた感想： I'm really enjoying the experience.

良いポイント:

Having an API that facilitates the integration with our back office.

改善してほしい点:

Not having an app for the student experience.

Fun and Flexible Course Platform

製品を使ってみた感想： I found Thinkific to be very satisfying. I had everything I needed to launch a single course on the free plan (one free single course), but I was looking for a fully-integrate funnel solution, so I went with a competitor that had that feature. But this will be very good for most users.

良いポイント:

It is very easy to get up and running with Thinkific. The course templates are a breeze to edit; users can easily see how to add and edit content, and the presentation is slick and professional.

改善してほしい点:

Thinkific does not have an integrated email marketing feature, but users can connect MailChimp, et al., with Zapier. The design templates look okay until the user starts to change fonts and adds more content, then they start to look like a Wordpress template. Not bad, but not slick.

Simple way to get your eLearning platform set up

良いポイント:

Easy to deploy, you can add quizzes to test for knowledge acquisition

改善してほしい点:

Free plan doesn't include a custom domain

With Thinkific as our Platform, we have successfully launched three very different online courses.

製品を使ってみた感想： We are at the beginning stages of offering a high quality course to students from around the world.

良いポイント:

We researched many Platforms before choosing Thinkific. We love that Thinkific is Canadian. We love the journey that students take from first encountering the site landing page, going to the course landing page and then immersing themselves in the course. I appreciate the helpful support from the Thinkific team. They do a great job of answering our many questions. I am fortunate that Thinkific rebuilt their course editing software quite soon after we began developing our course. Their new software is quite easy to use and easy to revise. I really like their flat-rate monthly subscription fee with no hidden costs.

改善してほしい点:

I wish students could purchase this course in the currency of their own country. I wish we could pay for our subscription in Canadian funds instead of American. We have had to purchase a separate Discussion Forum because their Disqus Plug In is a social media plug in that is not confidential, and their built in Discussion Forum is very awkward and poorly organized with no ability to search, edit, or even manage posts. Thinkific focuses much more on supporting marketing than on supporting online course development. We were fortunate that we had already taken two excellent courses in online course development that we could apply to the Thinkific Platform. Thinkific is less responsive to good ideas for improvement than I would like them to be. For example, despite many, many requests from many course developers it is still not possible for the course author to copy, paste and edit quizes and so there is a lot of unnecessary labour involved in inputting quizes

My experience with Thinkific

良いポイント:

I like that it is simple, that they are quite transparant about their pricing and have an extensive help center. The Facebook group is also great for support. Making online courses comes with a lot of questions.

改善してほしい点:

Customization of the look & feel of online courses and landing pages is limited, as if payment options. For EU customers who are not accustomed to credit card / Paypal you need to integrate Shopify. This is possible, but connecting Shopify & Thinkific is not that great. Affiliate links don't work anymore and tracking sales becomes quite a bit harder.

Good for small, basic needs

製品を使ってみた感想： Value for the money, attractive front end with little effort.

良いポイント:

The way Thinkific presents content, from landing page to course completion page, is beautiful and appealing to the user. There are ample ways to connect with the user through various integrations if desired. It's also useful that you can customize the branding and even your own site theme if you have the available resources to do so! After switching from a sub-par LMS, our users are more engaged and more excited about signing in to consume our courses.

改善してほしい点:

Reporting leaves much to be desired - best count on using Zapier to pull data into a 3rd party for analyzing user progress and completion rates. It's also frustrating that I have to wait for some reports to be emailed to me after requesting them. Perhaps the most frustrating part is that the front-end is designed using Liquid, which is difficult for a novice with basic CSS / HTML knowledge to navigate in order to make small text changes across the site.

Easy to use but not as complete as other plattforms

良いポイント:

Thinkific is very easy to use, I upload two courses in a few hours and learn how to use it very fast.

改善してほしい点:

I didn't like the courses landing pages, it would be great to have more flexibility on them.

Love it!

製品を使ってみた感想： I got leads into students who enjoyed this platform. I really loved setting up courses and I think this is a great product.

良いポイント:

I really like how easy this system is; they have done a lot to make their platform easy to use. The free plan is good. Pro's: Easy to use & navigate Helpful tutorials Helpful webinars and manuals to help you get the most and market your courses Clean crisp look Responsive for mobile, tablet, and pc's

改善してほしい点:

Pricing for me was the only con; I had purchased a lifetime subscription to another course building platform and decided to switch to that otherwise i'd still be using thinkific.

製品を使ってみた感想： Covers literally all of my needs and services

良いポイント:

The different type of quizzes that I can offer

改善してほしい点:

The growth package monthly payment per student

Thinkific is a fantastic online learning platform

製品を使ってみた感想： We are growing into an international learning community with the help of Thinkific.

良いポイント:

Versatile, well organized, easy to learn. Free until you get going.

改善してほしい点:

- Terrible discussion forum (we wish they would link up with website tool box). - Their pricing plans have changed in ways that don't work well for us and they have not been responsive to our feedback.

Tech Support Needs Improvement!

製品を使ってみた感想： The software is alright. I have a major problem with tech support. First, they throw articles at you. I understand it can be annoying to get the same question over and over, but when I’m replying to a thread I don’t want another random tech agent replying by dismissing me with more articles when we already established their articles do not resolve the issue. They are definitely not on the same page and you get replies from a different person each time even though you’re dealing with the same issue. Also, they cannot help with billing updates which is absurd.

良いポイント:

It’s pretty simple and basic so it’s easy-ish for a beginner.

改善してほしい点:

It could use more ease of functionality. When building a landing page you have to search for certain aspects that you want to change when it should all be right there. Tech support needs a MAJOR overhaul.

Very easy to use and complete education framework

製品を使ってみた感想： Very good, the platform was easy to learn and set up and the students are very pleased with their learning experience.

良いポイント:

Very complete set of features. Everything that you need is in one place. Available on all platforms.

改善してほしい点:

Better video management. Better progress track tools for administrators

Best money for value for startups

製品を使ってみた感想： Easy to use and set up. I am not a tech person and I set up a whole online course in 3 days so pretty cool.

良いポイント:

There is a free function you can actually set up a whole program completely for free and they only charge a % of the sale. It’s perfect for start ups.

改善してほしい点:

I found anything I don’t like so far. I am really happy with it.

Great service

製品を使ってみた感想： My overall experience with Thinkific has been fantastic and it is currently the cornerstone of our e-learning delivery.

良いポイント:

Thinkific is so easy to set-up and has a wealth of customisation options. I like being able to rely on the platform to provide a good experience for users, even at scale.

改善してほしい点:

It is sometimes incompatible for users of older browsers.

Feel Confident in the Basics

製品を使ってみた感想： Thinkific is a strong performer for the price. It covers a lot of ground for course management needs from the all sides: student, teacher and administrative. You get many capabilities for video, text, downloads, discussions that serve different learning styles. The login, registration and payment system works well. Support can get you through even non-standard apps connections though it takes time and back/forth on email and phone.

良いポイント:

Thinkific covers course the basics very well. It also provides strong administrative functions to support the student and teacher. Payment works well too.

改善してほしい点:

The question import and question change functions need to be improved. Currently, they are unwieldy and time consuming. Support could be easier to connect to. But, as seems to be everywhere, you have to start with an email or chat.

Helped me step up my game!

製品を使ってみた感想： I loved it, if not for the bilingual problem I would have stayed.

良いポイント:

Learning Thinkific was really ease, and I also took advantage of their mentoring. The payment integration was self-explanatory as well.

改善してほしい点:

Several desirable features were only available in the bigger plan, for example group emailing. I was also not too happy with the user reports / quizz reports. Not being able to adapt language presets was also a problem.
