Checkpoints Feature: Many users have appreciated the Checkpoints feature in Bridge Learning Platform, finding it convenient for requesting approval and submitting evidence for daily homework. The ability to manage everything within the platform eliminates the need for other submission methods like email.
Course Organization: Users have found it helpful that they can combine courses and checkpoints within programs in Bridge. This allows learners to access all training materials from one location without having to be enrolled in multiple programs, making it more efficient for them.
Quizzing Feature: The quizzing feature in Bridge has been highly praised by users for being intuitive and easy to use. They mention that it is designed with the user in mind, allowing them to follow up each video with a quiz question to test learners' knowledge effectively.
Limited Functionality of Native Authoring Tool: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the functionality of the native Bridge authoring tool. They have mentioned that it lacks certain features such as the ability to upload videos at the highest quality and answer quiz questions with a picture screen capture, which limits their options for creating engaging content.
Difficulty in Finding Relevant Content in Learning Library: Several users have struggled to find relevant content in the Learning Library due to its lack of organization. This has hindered their up-skilling and career pathing efforts as they are unable to easily navigate through the available courses and locate materials specific to their roles within the company.
Lack of Advanced Reporting Capabilities: Users have reported a desire for more advanced reporting capabilities within the Bridge Learning Platform. They feel that the current reporting options are limited and do not allow them to create hierarchies beyond linear assignments. This limitation hampers their ability to generate comprehensive reports and gain deeper insights into training effectiveness.

Bridge: A Learning Solution for a Construction Company!
- Bridge's customer service is second to no one. Any problem I have is immediately addressed. What you experience from their sales staff is only an example of what you will experience from their success manager. They present real-life solutions and better yet, if they do not have a solution, they will not make one up.
- Ease of use. We are a construction company and many of our guys chose construction as a profession so that they did not have to use a computer. Technology has caught up with us and now we must use it. Our guys never used our previous LMS because it took too many clicks to get what you wanted. With Bridge, it is easy to maneuver around and find things. As an administrator, I love that it takes less time to add anything (sessions, live training, SCORM files) and you have to do it once. Saves me lots of time.
- Elegant Design. Bridge is beautiful. People like well-designed sites and Bridge is absolutely clean and beautiful.
- Follow through. When they say they are going to do something, they actually do it. What a concept. While we were buying Bridge, it did not do multiple session days. I questioned them about it and they assured me that it would be added in a few weeks. About a week after we committed to Bridge, that feature was added. They are about to follow through with their promise to improve their reporting (see con).
- Reporting is horrible. Probably the worst I have ever seen. The transcript report is useless. It gives us a Bridge ID number and a session ID, so unless you run several reports and combine them, you will not know the name of the learners nor the name of the course. Here is a caveat, I have seen the preview of their reports and it looks to solve this problem. However, right now in June of 2018, I have to bring it up. Once the reporting is improved, this will go with one of their strengths I mentioned under Pros.
- No certification feature. They do have a decent work around, but it's not exactly helpful when it comes to notifications of managers.
- Permissions are a little difficult. For some functions, you have to give the a non-admin person way too much permissions to just allow them to take attendance.
Bridge Review
- Ongoing support and training.
- Advanced features.
- Opportunities to expand and enhance use.
- Feature edits are costly.
- Turnaround time for completed revisions is timely.
Bridge is the best choice, no doubt.
- Bridge is able to accept any raw SCORM data and return that data in a report. This allows you to track detailed information about learner interactions in courses and report on those interactions.
- The interface is simple and effective. People don't need a lot of help getting around Bridge and getting the information/training they need from the system.
- Bridge's support is second to none. Anytime you need support or have a question, a support agent is ready and happy to help you find a great solution.
- Bridge has an internal authoring tool that is very nice to have; however, it is weak in its ability to provide interactive learning. It is focused on a tell and test method.
- Bridge is a little up and down with its speed of operation - some days it runs fast and clean and other days it's slow and clunky.
- At one time, Bridge was doing bi-weekly updates to their platform to add functionality and lately, they have focused on other products, so the Learn product doesn't get the updates some of us have come to expect.
Great for New LMS Users
- It is quick and easy to develop programs.
- Easy for learners to utilize.
- Easy for supervisors to manage.
- We really like people being able to quickly register for live training.
- Easily assign training to individuals and departments.
- It would be helpful to have easier reporting features such as combining all aspects in one report - completed, still due and overdue - instead of separate reports..
- Being able to assign permissions to individuals who may not be supervisors but responsible for training in their department.
Learning Module: Great for group work at a large organization
- One central place for shared information -- I like that it's not just documents you can upload, but also lists of links, text, etc.
- Private vs. public -- it's easy to make some areas open to all, and others not.
- Hosting forms for intake for your internal services -- when the form is filled out, it's nicely tracked for you.
- Building/changing Bridge is not something just anyone can do. We often are waiting on my organization's digital specialists to add pages/make updates for us.
- The web apps for editing (especially Excel) can be finicky. I usually just open to editing in full Excel -- but then you have to be careful how you close/save.
We use Bridge Learn to train our external users because of the functionality that it has. Courses w/ videos and quizzing, checkpoints that require approval and evidence, programs that have to be taken in order, ability to have users register for a course from our website and then get added to the corresponding programs in Bridge...etc.
- Checkpoints - needing to request approval and submit evidence. This is a strength because we have homework that our users need to complete daily and they can use checkpoints to submit the homework and then we can provide feedback. This allows us to keep everything in one system without them having to submit their homeworks somewhere else, like through email for example.
- Programs - ability to combine courses and checkpoints within and adding headers to keep everything organized as a learner moves through it. This is great so that our users can access everything for training from one location without having to be enrolled in multiple programs, courses etc. The more simplified we can make things for our end-users, the better.
- Quizzing - We like to follow up each video we have in a course with a quiz question just to test our users knowledge.
- Sharing programs from one sub-account to another - missing functionality
- Ability to upload videos using the native Bridge authoring tool at the highest quality. Currently only an option with ARC but ARC moves slowly in our China offices for those of us creating courses and our learners watching the videos.
- Answering a quiz question with a picture/screen capture - missing functinality
- Receiving an email notification when any comments are made to a video, even if it's a new comment. We have 100's of videos that need to be checked daily to see if our end-users have asked questions pertaining to that video.
- Hitting "Request Approval" in a checkpoint, then having the option to add a comment, then having to hit "Request Approval" again. Very confusing for our end-users who think they are requesting approval after clicking it the first time.
- More text editing options in the author tool. We would like to use Bridge to train our programmers/developers but since we don't have many options for editing text, it's hard to show software code/coding unless a screen shot is taken and uploaded.
I do think Bridge is less appropriate for companies that use it in external training scenarios as there is some key functionality missing. We gotten very good at brainstorming and finding solutions/ways to get Bridge to work the way that we need it to.
Extremely Happy with Bridge Learn
- Bridge is designed for the user so it is intuitive and easy to use.
- Bridge includes an authoring tool so building custom content is fast and easy.
- Bridge does a good job of providing user information for managers. Managers can quickly and easily see how many courses their reports are enrolled in and if anyone is overdue on required courses.
- Bridge is also built with learning science in mind. There are multiple options for assessments, including an option for verified tasks to be completed to demonstrate proficiency.
- Bridge Learn doesn't currently have a way to organize the Learning Library within an organization's instance. They say this is because learners search for content via search bar, however this has proven to be problematic for up-skilling and career pathing
- Bridge Learn doesn't have an evaluation option that can be automatically sent out after completion of a training. This would be helpful from a user satisfaction standpoint and also provide the opportunity for users to quickly make recommendations for content changes and/or grammar errors. The current survey tool only provides a scale for responses. Comment boxes are not currently an option.
Bridge Learn Review
- Easy to Use Interface
- Always innovating
- Great Support from the Support Desk and Customer Service Managers
- Some functionality is still missing, such as integrating live training into an employee's transcript.
For our organization that is always expanding and adding new cities, Bridge has been great with the automation so we can focus on other projects knowing that Bridge is tracking all the critical training dates for us.
Bridge makes training quick and easy!
- Superb Customer Support: Getting help from Bridge is so accessible; whether it's via our customer relations rep, the chat or email option. I know I can always get immediate help when I need it.
- Events: The Bridge annual conference is a wonderful way to connect with Bridge and other companies who use it to get inspired and share ideas.
- Constantly improving: Every Bridge comes out with additions and improvements to make the user experience better.
- Bridge could improve their categorization feature for trainings; folders would be great!
- I'd like to see more ways to add content in the Bridge native environment in the future. Being able to create tables, infographics, and other training materials right in the system would be a great time saver.
Bridge: 10/10
- Bridge provides training to the learner in a clear and easy to access manner.
- Bridge allows admins to access reporting easily.
- Bridge makes it easy to assign training courses to learners.
- Bridge allows managers to be able to track the completions of their employees easily.
- Bridge gives quick snapshots of completed/incomplete learners in courses that make it easy to report on quickly.
- I would like to be able to choose which fields I want for reports.
- I would like to see the same visuals (incomplete/complete learners) for programs as we have for courses.
Great product
- Easy to learn and use.
- Great UX design
- Easy to navigate.
- Some of the features are hard to find and use.
Crossing over the Bridge
- Pulling reports using the Deep Dive feature has become much easier now that they've implemented the use of filters.
- Course creation is simple. Bridge gives the ability to provide hyperlinks and/or videos within the course along with various options from knowledge checks which helps keep learners engaged in the lesson.
- I would like Bridge to allow all of the functions that we can do through Word. For example, it would be nice if we were able to do multiple bullet types/indentations when expanding on points in a training. I would also like to be able to hit the "undo" button when I accidentally delete information.
- Due to the large amount of courses available in Bridge, it would be nice if there was a better way to organize/categorize the courses to where learners can browse what's available specific to their role within the company. Right now, there is no organization to the courses. We are hoping that the categories function rolls out soon.
Bridge is robust and easy
- Bridge is very user friendly.
- Bridge has a wonderful support system in place.
- Custom user attributes are crucial in our business.
- Specific reporting features would be great.
- Learner-centric design.
- Incredible user and customer support system.
- Ease of use for Admins.
- Organization options in the Learning Library.
- Customization options in the native authoring tool.
Bridging a whole lotta gaps ;)
- They’re super responsive to feedback— you can even chat with developers if you have a particular use case that sounds like many people would want it.
- They roll out big changes regularly based on feedback.
- The platform is clean, crisp and easy to use across the board.
- It would be helpful to have more dashboards for higher level managers, like how the whole organization is doing on skills development.
- Allow more people who aren’t in the management hierarchy to view reporting and stats.
- Better integration of Arc data with the insights page.
Blown Away by Bridge
- Extremely intuitive
- Great end user experience
- Very versatile
- Amazing customer support team
- Adaptable to our needs
- Dynamic
- The CSV reports could be formatted better and a bit easier to filter/navigate.
- Putting live trainings on a calendar in outlook and the accuracy of that could be improved.
A great learning experience system
- Insights
- Management
- Interface
- Usability
- Adaptability
- Learning admin reporting
- Interaction reporting
Silo Wars
- Checkpoints is remarkably well. It compels manager/employee communication and verification of completed milestones in a collaborative manner.
- The retain feature has really helped verify as well as provided a mechanism for retained knowledge for our learners. It has encouraged learners to actually try to engage with the all trainings.
- The communication tools (emails, creating groups etc.) have been a great asset for our managers in the field. The manager can send an email directly to one or more of his team without using other tools.
- Provide the ability to allow hierarchies to be not just a linear assignment.
- Provide more what we call "Advanced Report" capabilities. (Learning Admin reporting)
- Allow SCORM or any course to track and view interaction data.
- Democratizes learning.
- Ease of use/enables experts to share.
- Good at evolving quickly based on customer needs/requests.
- The lack of audio function within Bridge is disappointing. When I started developing my courses 6+ months ago, I needed to upload SCORM to have audio but lost accessibility functionality. I was told (at a conference) that I could add an audio file so I'm not sure if that's new or if my Bridge contact just didn't know and led me down the Captivate path to compensate.
Small Company Review
- User Experiences
- Author Usability
- Data Insight
- Need for folders and subfolders folders yet.
- Don’t track 3rd party certifications yet.
Bridge and aviation
- Provides a one stop shop for learning.
- Provides an easy to access platform for finding information to improve specific skills.
- Makes it easy to upload new content at a moment's notice.
- Lack of instant messenger can be a problem. Having this would make it easier to resolve problems quicker.
- Insights for managers are either only direct reports or everyone, making it difficult to find our cross utilized staff.
Bridge Review
- We can see who is up to date on training.
- We can see who needs help and send them training.
- We can house our training.
- We could use smart filters.
- We could use more flexibility in adding our own graphics.
- It would be fun to see web browser update warnings so we know when publishing errors are likely to occur.
An LMS Partner
- UI and UX are second to none
- The product has a quick onboard and implementation
- Assignment and reporting of targeted learning content is intuitive and highly effective
- The retain tool is a game changer for engagement and learning retention
- The reporting functionality needs to become more robust and intuitive
- Multi-level management groups would be a nice addition
- A store/library of sourced third-party learning content already vetted by Bridge would be an interesting revenue channel
