One can create a vast library of learning modules and can link one learning to the other, almost like a streaming website.

I love the fact they link one learning module to the other, because even if you're finished, you can revisit the software and choose a new material later, if one has a few minutes to spare.

It allows me to create a resources-first approach to our learning, as well as design courses specifically for my user's needs.

Head of Editorial L&D

The campaigns are excellent. Once you've completed the hard graft of setting them up you can take people through an entire program at the click of the button, including reminder emails to the learner and their manager.

Head of Learning & Development

The campaign feature is fantastic for tracking engagement and figuring out how to reach out to your audience the best.

We are also centralising our learning offering within the organisation and creating a central place to access and update resources

We are now working in a hybrid way and need to provide access to learning resources to different groups of people in different localities.

Instructional Designer

Some of the functionality we require is not yet available i.e Outlook integration but it is include in their product roadmap

L&D Consultant

You have access to immediate support, L&D experts and an active community of other Looop users to learn from and network with.

Communications Specialist

Campaigns as a means for updating colleagues immediately has been great and they have the choice to receive these to personal or work email addresses.

Learning & Development Consultant

The Campaign feature is the thing I find most useful.

Academy Team Leader

Looop has really allowed us to utilise every bit of time we have with our emloyees, as it allows for people to be able to self-learn and go back to topics, when it suits them.

Marketing Co-ordinator

With this platform we can move our training online and give our clients the freedom to learn in their time and at their pace, rather than struggling to fit in training meetings or constantly having our diaries crashed and training be rearranged.

Workspaces have worked very well for us, so that different areas of the business can access information relevant to them.

Digital learning specialist

The platform offers a simple function of resources at when you need them, it mirrors the way we learn in everyday life and its clear how you can support an organisation by reacting to challenges quickly with Looop.

It also allows me to assess their knowledge and track progress with ease.

It's an excellent feature of Looop and encourages the learners to engage with Looop in a way that promotes continued personal growth.

As an administrator, I would like the ability to drag and drop items, rather than use the arrows.

Understanding some of the filters when sharing resources within campaigns takes a while to understand

Our organisation uses Looop primarily as a communications tool, rather than a learning and development tool.

L&D Advisor

To add to this, having the ability to build resources within the platform means that we can respond to business needs quickly, without compromising on quality.

It has multiple viewing options for the client, a community behind it which helps in the set up, feature requests and just in general when you need help. When learning more about the platform, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] showed us around and explained the endless capabilities of Looop. Since then, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been there at the drop of a hat whenever I have needed assistance.

Academy Manager

We wanted to have something where our agents could learn in own time, at a speed they are comfortable with and material that caters for all and Looop provided us with this but it also gave us so much more from analytics to being so user friendly.

Looop has allowed for us to be able to push out pathways to relevant individuals and keep track of who has completed them, and who needs extra help.

Head of L&D

We also use Looop to support new hires at each stage of their onboarding journey with automated resources and surveys sent throughout.

L&D Manager 

Love how external links can be integrated making the entire experience about the learner.  

Our employees are really engaged in the content and it is improving performance in areas.

It’s been extremely useful as an internal communications platform and employee intranet.

Senior Consultant Digital Learning Strategy

We have tried to accomplish a relatively unusual case with Looop since we are using the platform as an extension of our statistical tool to provide personalized learning paths.

The integration with other platforms in our people ecosystem was easy, they provided everything we needed to be able to pull the data we needed and to set up automation.

L&D Manager

Using  it with campaigns to tailor and target your approach is the most effective and engaging way to drive traction to the site.

People Development Manager 

Overall we are having a great experience with looop. Both with what the system provides along with the support we receive from our account manager is perfect.

Combine this with a powerful search function on the user side, and it's easy for people to find the information or help they need, wherever and whenever they need it.

HR and L&D Consultant

Looop's campaign and analytic functions make it extremely useful to manage and report on staff's day to day learning.   

Corporate Sales Trainer

The initial design of campaigns for specific user groups was a bit time consuming, but that would be the case when converting to any new platform.

Head of commercial learning and development

At no point have they tried to sell "additional functionality".  

Director 

Relative timing function is a game change to push continual messages to large audience, one button and it just flows...

Corporate Field Trainer

Able to provide progress reports and give users access to information across the business.  

With all of the different features that Looop offers, we've been able to cater to a variety of different learning styles.

Head of HR

Looop has revolutionized mandatory training .

Amazing, flexible ad easy to navigate platform, and a full force of support.

Not only is the tool great but the level of support and the Looop community are worth paying good money for.

City Director

It is a bit costly but, to us, worth it as an LMS

More specifically we are improving our Mandatory training with Looop, to make this information look and feel on brand and easy to apply.

This is a great platform to help us to do that with the campaigns and the way it integrates with our other products.

We are more than happy to have chosen Looop since they provided an excellent help in setting up and figuring out which would be the best way to go and continuously improve the platform to match our needs even further.

SVP, Talent

Settings are simple and intuitive, and Looop's focus on learning in the flow of work has been very well received by our employees.

I can't really think of cons. When we think of feature requests, we submit them to the customer success manager or the user community.
