Assisting users with being able to learn independently in a way that is quick and easy and in one location. Being able to add our own content.
Pros
I like that our patrons can get help quickly and easily to learn new library eResources, general technology, and more. I look forward to creating tutorials for our patrons covering library use and resources.We originally meant to utilize for staff trainings too, but we have an intranet for that. Otherwise, it would be a wonderful feature as well.
Cons
That content for library staff and users of the library is not categorized as such. It can be a challenge and time consuming to sift through in order to add new tutorials for patrons vs. staff.It would be nice if marketing toolkits were made available as with some other resources. Brainfuse and Libby for example offer materials templates, social media graphics and text, etc.

Niche Academy Benefits
Reviewed on 2023/01/12
Pros
I have enjoyed using Niche Academy because of the wide variety of features that are available to customers. Making tutorials appears seamless and navigation/completion of tutorials is easy. When taking tutorials you can stop and start and your place will be saved and you can get a certificate for any tutorials that are completed. Niche Academy support is always fast and problems are resolved very quickly. Niche Academy as a whole appears to really care about their clientele and they are always looking for new ways to provide information and training.
Cons
I have not really found anything to be difficult about Niche Academy. I am not aware of the price so I suppose this could be somewhat of a sticking point when purchasing but honestly I would say that it is worth the price paid due to the wealth of available resources.

Pros
Niche Academy produced good quality content that our teams were able to use. Additionally, the best thing about it is was the collaborative content from other organizations that became available. Also liked the sponsored content that was sent on different topics.
Cons
I think the admin section could be worked on a bit easier. Saying that it may have been how we set it up in the first place.
