Niche Academy Makes Learning Easy!
Kommentare: We love Niche Academy and we would recommend them highly for libraries everywhere!
Vorteile:
We employ Niche Academy as a learning platform for both our patrons and our staff. We have embedded Niche Academy training videos into our website to aid patrons in using our provided database platforms, eBook and audiobook libraries and apps, general web usage (email and social media), and more. We have also set up an internal staff academy to train new and existing staff on the platforms, services, and devices we offer our patrons. Learning is self-paced and the videos explain topics and technologies that can sometimes be confusing or intimidating to those unfamiliar with more modern devices (smartphones, book tablets, etc.). Niche Academy also offers fantastic longer-format training videos and webinars to instruct on a wide variety of library management aspects, from marketing and book displays to best communication practices, staff engagement, and more.
Nachteile:
I did need help from Niche Academy staff to get the website integration formatted.

How using Niche Academy is better and safer than watching Cousin [SENSITIVE CONTENT] blow up his tree stump.
Kommentare: I thoroughly enjoyed the book repair. I had another person also check out that segment, and then we discussed which of the parts we enjoyed and which techniques we could effectively use here in our library. We both found it very informative.
Vorteile:
There are many different learning modules on this program. Every time I log in, there is something that I want to study in more depth, or simply rewatch to get it all down in my head. I have to write them down, so I can check them out. It's been fun to tell people about your product, and how it has something to offer everyone who wants to learn without the hold my beer factor. I enjoy the smaller segments, and how I can come back to where I had left off. I get sidetracked a lot of the times because there is always something that needs attention. Thank you for such a great product.
Nachteile:
I do not feel there was a problem with the program.
Many Reasons to use Niche Acadmey
Kommentare: When the pandemic started in 2020 Niche Academy was used as an option to work at home. I had work development at the click of my computer. I logged in may programs that related to my job and career at a public library. Because of these classes I have become a more valuable employer and I have shared my knowledge with co- workers and encouraged them to log in to Niche Academy. Since 2020 I have viewed many more relevant classes.
Vorteile:
I work at a public library and my employer has paid all the fees to have Niche Academy for staff. The programs are easy to log into and navigate. The topics are relevant to my working environment such as security at the work place, how to have fun at work, create programs for adults and children and many more too numerous to mention.
Nachteile:
One feature that could be improved upon is when I scroll through the subtitles it thinks that I have completed the class, but I only skimmed through it but it gives me a certificate of completion.
Love it! Use it all the time.
Kommentare: Staff training is what we primarily use this for, although we've also used it to launch a life skills program for a local jail. Niche Academy staff gave me a lot of time when thinking this through initially. I appreciated the attention.
Vorteile:
It's mostly very easy to use, and we use it ALL the time. Customer Service has always been 5 star.
Nachteile:
Pages are so often the same from page to page that I get lost. Trying to see which courses have been completed by which employees for example, is not intuitive.
Great product
Vorteile:
The product is very easy to use for any skill level.
Nachteile:
I wish there were more tutorials created by Niche Academy for library resources.
Niche Academy Well Worth the Money!
Kommentare: I like being able to use Niche Academy, especially since I can access this from any computer/tablet, etc. I am able to stop and start as needed. It is an overall great training product.
Vorteile:
This product is very user friendly. You can start/stop when needed and this will pick up where you left off. Being that I am not tech savvy, this is a wonderful tool to use for training. You can also access other courses of great interests.
Nachteile:
I don't really have any 'least' comments except that under 'My Niche' or my account, I find that I don't have a list of dates of completion especially since I have to take the same course every year.
NicheAcademy review
Vorteile:
Lot's of good courses and videos. Administrators can assign courses and learners can self enroll.
Nachteile:
I'm not sure, the UI is pretty good. I guess sometimes it can be overwhelming with the amount of courses available but that's really a good thing.
Library user
Kommentare: A preset academy for library staff made our staff training much easier last year. We are still learning how to get the most out of it and add new content to our academies.
Vorteile:
We had some trouble getting started with Niche Academy and adding it to our website. The support team worked with us and it is working a lot better now. We like the accessibility of support and the customization options for the content in the courses and academies.
Nachteile:
We have not been able to get any reporting or analytics information and support has not been able to help us. We really need to be able to see how people are using our content.
Niche Academy review
Vorteile:
Nice Academy is easy to use and makes completing required training so much easier. We have a lot of relevant online content available for our library staff.
Nachteile:
Sometimes i have a hard time finding the training i want ( but this could simply be a local problem of not organizing things well within Niche)
Very nice way of offering and taking training
Vorteile:
I like that certificates can be printed right from the classroom and that the tracking of completed portions is very straightforward. As mentioned earlier the ability to stop and restart a lesson from the same point is appreciated.
Nachteile:
For whatever reason, possibly to do with reclassification or retitling of the courses, some of the courses I initially completed in our staff academy now show no completion. While we got credit for it anyway, it still is annoying when trying to select the next course to take.
Courses
Kommentare: I love taking courses to help me with the library or with my patrons.and Niche always have a lot of courses that is great to learn.
Vorteile:
That the seem to go a great pace and you can pause it to catch upand then restart it.
Nachteile:
The course usually have a short quiz at the end I think my least favorite would be the shortquizzes at the end.
Set it & Forget it, Low-Maintenance Tutorial Software
Vorteile:
We've added all of the available Niche Academy-created tutorial for our online resources. I love that they're user-friendly and engaging tutorials, and best of all, when there is an update to the resource, Niche Academy will update the tutorial so it is accurate, without any action on our part.
Nachteile:
The backend is not as user-friendly as I would like it to be, but it is fairly simple and I got used to it quickly!
Niche
Vorteile:
I love how everything can be broken down into folders. That makes it very easy for the learner to find exactly what they want to learn. I also enjoy how easy it is to work through the courses.
Nachteile:
Getting to the stats I use every month is a little difficult to remember, but I have it written down.
Great Product
Kommentare: You get a variety of content that is relevant to library work, plus, someone else on your team can make their own videos as well.
Vorteile:
We started using this product a few years ago at our library. It makes courses easy to navigate through and understand.
Nachteile:
There is nothing I can think of that I do not like about this product.
Good material included in the training programs
Vorteile:
We use this primarily for training materials for us employees; we went through courses such as the Front Line Customer Service, Accessibility, De-Escalation, and Code of Ethics. All of the courses contained very relevant and engaging information and provided solid techniques for improving our workplace. The division of the courses into modules made it easy to track progress and to complete the training even if one session was interrupted, as the progress through the module was saved.
Nachteile:
The only problem we ran into was when a few of the courses glitched and did not save the progress being made. However, after we reached out to the Niche team they were very prompt in updating the courses and we were able to continue our training.
Easy Learning Access
Vorteile:
The software was easy to navigate. My coworkers and I did not have a program navigating through the web page and finding the courses that we were assigned to by our employer.
Nachteile:
I did not experience any cons. My employer assigned us courses and we were given time to complete them. They were all accessible.
Great Experience!
Vorteile:
I really enjoy the learning courses and learn so much when using them.
Nachteile:
There are no cons that I have noticed in the software.

Niche Academy is great for librarians!
Kommentare: It has been very helpful in providing another way to teach Library Instruction.
Vorteile:
I can search for tutorials that have already been created and post them in my LibGuides and Blackboard shells.
Nachteile:
I would like more detail in the analytics reports.
Great for quick trainings on a wide variety of topics!
Vorteile:
I like that each training is easy to go through and isn't very long. Being able to cover so many different topics is nice as well.
Nachteile:
I wish they were organized into groups of topics.
Niche Academy is Great!
Vorteile:
I love the ease of access to different trainings from different places.
Nachteile:
The interface isn't the most appealing to the eye and could use some updating.
Happily onboarding!
Vorteile:
We are just onboarding, but impressed with the customer service support we are getting so far and the many tutorial options we are exploring. We look forward to the ways we will be able to integrate this software with our college information literacy sessions and research guidance to our academic community.
Nachteile:
So far, I have not found anything I do not like about the software. I am so pleased to be onboarding with my institution.
Niche works well for in-house training and CE
Vorteile:
Niche has all the popular features you need for CE all in in one place.
Nachteile:
Sometimes captions on videos are a bit wonky.
