Gurucan

L’application mobile est un vrai plus

Commentaires : Je débute mais je suis enchantée

Avantages :

Je viens d’acheter Gurucan. Les fonctionnalités sont nombreuses et j’ai hâte de migrer les élèves sur cette plateforme. 🤩

Inconvénients :

La fonction webinaire buggue. Je n’utiliserai plus cette fonctionnalité pour le moment.

An affordable all-in-one Learning Management System

Commentaires : I can create courses intuitively and the results look nice.

Avantages :

It provides a mobile app. This is a very important feature in today's LMS requirements.

Inconvénients :

The UI for course admin is a bit clunky, but they said they would revamp the UI later this year. Besides, it's not essential.

Versatile and Robust Mobile-First LMS With Huge Potential

Commentaires : I have to admit, I was skeptical about YET ANOTHER learning management system. I’ve been in the space for a long time and I thought I had seen it all and there was no room for growth in 2021. However, I was wrong and this is so much more. Gurucan has huge potential to take your current learning experience and elevate it to a truly mobile-first experience. I’m not sure if anyone would argue that mobile is where everything is going. What’s even more interesting is that we were looking for a solution that would allow us to go mobile, take payments and sync with our other automation tools. This solution has helped us define the very fabric of what we're going to create next. With Gurucan, we can have a mobile solution, a desktop solution that allows for payments and marketing within the platform. That was part of our initial plan but we were going to build it from scratch. This is going to save us not only months of development and thousands of dollars, but also allow us to get to market much much faster.
While we're excited to see where the tool is going, But even happier that we're going along on the ride with them.

Avantages :

Gurucan has taken a completely new approach to how LMS is can and should be done today. They have taken a mobile-first approach which is clearly where the market is headed. They have taken away much of the thinking, planning, building, and headache of rolling out a robust solution for LMS users. They have taken the fundamentals of how a learning platform should work and added in many of the different solutions and features that today's community managers need to keep audiences engaged.

Inconvénients :

I think some of the design elements could use a little more polish. Needs Zoom integration for webinars that pull in recordings. Needs mobile app for administrators.

Asthetic appeal and functionality missing especially when reviewing content.

Commentaires : At the outset, I actually though that for a start-up like ours this could be a solution but with my experiences on the website and the support I got it would have been nightmarish to have purchased their services and not be able to take my business online because of the lack of support that is quick and effective. In order for a customer to see value, their specific needs have to be addressed not on a public forum but on a one-on-one 10-15 minute meeting telling them what is and what's not possible on your software. But this is probably just the beginning for team GURUCAN and they'll iron out these issues in due course of time. I wish them the best of luck and would be willing to spare time should someone want to get on a zoom call and talk to me :-)

Avantages :

A good thought through design for an e-learning app/website. Things like payment, feedback, user database with customizable and user-action triggered emails have been incorporated.

Inconvénients :

1. The content at times goes missing and with little support available, it's very disheartening to work on everything all over again - they seriously need to ask people to have a word back-up simultaneously. 2. The online school page is a great idea but there are very limited options to the look of that page. In the age where websites like wix.com give you fantastic options, we have font type, font size and variety limitations in rich text. 3. Even after providing the API keys for Open Bank which was the reason I got to know about Gurucan - nothing happens, it doesn't say "you're all set". So, a preview doesn't show you anything. again, very disappointing if you've gone the whole nine yards to link it to a payment gateway. 4. There is no provision for a timed and typed-out test. The 'workout' section gives you the functionality but wants you to upload a video. Do I seriously want to record a video of a single PPT slide with a question for 10 mins while the student attempts the test - this is what we call a 'jugaad' in India but it isn't very practical. 5. The course cover page and the transitioning between lessons isn't very smooth as compared to other video-hosting e-learning sites like futurelearn, canvas, etc. I mean the whole look and feel needs to be a lot better. 6. There's lack of a customizable user registration form - like a google form integration and many more things. There's no one on one customer interaction....and I'm not allowed to write any more....wow!!!

Very promising software

Avantages :

It is a very simple platform to use. It is well designed especially if you want to create a school or something more than a course. The function of the webinars is perhaps the reason that prompted me to purchase the product. It is a plus to be taken into consideration. The server is very fast and smooth, so far I haven't noticed any slowdowns. The app is well made and comfortable. It has the only flaw that courses cannot be purchased via the app. In the app you can only view the purchased courses. The extremely positive thing is that you can upload videos of several GB without problems and even longer than an hour. The rendering is slow, but then it flows smoother than on youtube. The assistance is truly excellent.

Inconvénients :

Let's go to the painful notes. You can have the white label site. But you don't have control over it. For example, company data cannot be added to the footer. They have created a very simple site suitable for anyone, but sadly there is no customization option. Even in forms and emails I would prefer more HTML controls. They still did a great job, but being able to change the footer and above all be able to use HTML more efficiently is something that would please me. It also has payment restrictions. You can use stripe or paypal. I solved it by creating a new page with details for other payment types. Unfortunately, I cannot write this message in the part where the user sees the payment form. They are not serious flaws, but if they improve in these areas it would be a perfect platform.
