Teachable

Excelente plataforma si ya tienes recorrido en el negocio online

Comentarios: Es una excelente plataforma si puedes permitirte los gastos de gestión, comisiónes y mantenimiento al iniciar tu proyecto o negocio de curso online. Al brindarte tu propio hosting de contenidos, tienes una gran ventaja a la hora de gestionar grandes cantidades de información en vídeo, imagen y pdf. Es genial poder alojar los vídeos en Wistia para podelro proteger y optimizar. Quizás el no tener tantas opciones de diseño del curso es una limitación pero para validar tu proyecto esto no debería ser un problema en el inicio como si lo puede ser el tener en cuenta los posibles gastos de mantenimiento, mensualidad o anualidad de la plataforma.

Puntos a favor:

He sido alumno en Teachable anteriormente y por ello en su momento me he animado a probarla como administrador en mi propio negocio. He usado anteriormente la plataforma y de entrada resulta muy potente porque te permite alojar todos los contenidos en su propio hosting. Incluso te aloja los vídeos en Wistia que viene muy bien para optimizarlos y protegerlosEntre otras cosas me gustaba el fácil montaje del curso y el orden del menú en la derecha para acceder a tus contenidos o zonas de miembros. También la característica de goteo es fantástica para dosificar la entrada y acceso a cada módulo a mis alumnos o clientes.

Puntos en contra:

Por temas de presupuesto al iniciar mi negocio online, no me podía permitir los costes y comisiones. Además algo que me impedía lograr coherencia de imagen de marca, era la limitada opción de diseño y estética del curso...

Muy completo, pero demasiado caro para quienes inician

Puntos a favor:

Su facilidad de uso, es súper intuitivo, muy amigable tanto para quien lo administra como para el estudiante. También me parece ideal que se pueda personalizar el branding.

Puntos en contra:

Precios demasiado elevados considerando a los creadores de curso que inician. También creo que podrían mejorar las posibilidades de diseño de las landing pages e integraciones de pago más variadas (por ejemplo, tener integración con pasarelas de pago de LATAM)

Teachable Moments

Comentarios: Overall Teachable solved a revenue issue for us! We needed a place for people to go and purchase out products and downloadable services without having to start from scratch - which is quite costly - and Teachable allowed us to do that. It help us generate necessary revenue with ease.

Puntos a favor:

Teachable is very user friendly. I am not a very technically inclined person and this program gave me the ease I needed to set our digital classroom. AT the time we began using the company could not afford more than $100 a month and Teachable was very affordable for out small nonprofit.

Puntos en contra:

I would say that my least favorite aspect of Teachable is or was the design templates, although they recently upgraded this feature and you can do a few more fancy things to your store and landing page.

Loved it at first! BUT, so many limits to functionality I switched to new platform within 3 months

Comentarios: When I first started with teachable I had an amazing experience. I loved the on boarding process that they put you through. Once I started building my courses at first it was positive because it's very simple to start. However, once I got a little deeper into my process I realized that there are many limitations to this platform that required me to do workarounds. For example:1. They have the ability to create a quiz but that quiz can only be multiple choice and the multiple choice can only have one correct answer. Therefore, the assessments are very limited you can't have students reflect with writing in their own words or you can't have any other type of question other than multiple choice. I had already created quizzes in another tool that I was using because I was already teaching courses before I started Teachable so I just linked those quizzes to Teachable.2. Teachable also doesn't integrate with SCORM which is a type of interactive course building file which is really state of the art. I use a tool called Articulate 360 and it allows you to create interactive courses/lessons and most LMS platforms integrate with SCORM and tools like Articulate 360, but Teachable does not.3. You cannot see the results of assessments unless you are on the highest tier, which is $120+4. You cannot have discussions with students unless you are on the highest tier.

Puntos a favor:

Teachable really sold me with their marketing about how easy the platform was to use and with their webinars that really walk you through the course creation process. I really appreciated the education that they give you at the beginning of the on boarding process and that was really valuable even if the tools themselves ended up being very limited for my needs.

Puntos en contra:

Between the time that I signed up and I decided to leave this platform the price more than doubled for hosting the courses that I was hosting. In addition to this, when you compare Teachable to the other platforms that are available out there; specifically, learnworlds, which is a platform I decided to go with, there's so many limits to their functionality that it's really difficult to run a course that is training students and in a process that needs to be evaluated. I think if I was just teaching for fun this might be a good platform for me but my students are moving through a process that needs to result in demonstrated mastery and the ability for me to present the information to them in an interactive way and the ability for them to complete evaluations and assessments with in the actual platform is really limited.

Overall, my experience has been great.

Puntos a favor:

Overall, my experience has been great. I started using with Free plan, it's is super easy to use for non techy. This is the best for course creators who have >=5 course. Resources are really helpful.

Puntos en contra:

Sometime getting system errors (slow), expensive but anyone can start with Free or Basic plan.
