Pluralsight

What is Pluralsight?

Pluralsight is an online learning and workforce development platform that helps businesses and individuals adjust to changing technology. It's a very high-quality education platform that is available for a very affordable monthly rate. However, depending on your needs it may be the right platform for you or maybe another one will be better suited. Pluralsight offers a variety of video training courses for software developers, IT administrators, and creative professionals through its website. 70% of Fortune 500 companies use Pluralsight and used by 17,000 business customers. Pluralsight Skills is the technology skills platform that allows you to measure and evolve the skills you require now. You'll discover which skills you need to succeed, where your skill gaps exist, and what you need to work on to reach role mastery. Williams, (2011).

How can Pluralsight benefit your institution?

Prior to using Pluralsight, schools and organizations relied heavily on in-house classroom and business instruction for skill set development. However, there is no way to rewind the classroom and businesses to reinforce with hands-on projects when using Pluralsight technology. The platform enables students and employees to see how skills and gaps are trending in their use of learning technologies. It also helps to create custom learning development for school communications and to align with business objectives as well.

Pluralsight helps to speed up the "onboarding process." It empowers the student and employees to take control of their sill set(s) for student and employee satisfaction and enables student lifelong learning and employee retention. Pluralsight provides the need for identifying skills sets for students and organizations alike that will capitalize on technology trends rather than be overtaken by them. (Skonnard, (2017).

Disadvantages of Pluralsight for your institution

It takes a community for stories to be read and studied. There is nothing stronger than a story that opens us to being connected within a community. However, people may be shy or reluctant to share information about themselves while being in a vulnerable situation. We at learning Technologies take care of our customers who are unable to advance in their subject until they have exercised any of the pre-study programs that can help a person’s confidence to advance to the next learning level. We all have different conditions that can hinder our ability to advance in the ever-changing world of technology, and some people may not have a desire to do so. Personalities, characteristics, or financial hardships may not favor everyone with studying Pluralsight capabilities. It takes time to process all that is available to an individual, and time may not be on everyone’s side. Continuing with Pluralsight takes patience, which is key in many aspects of education, and you have the option to go at your own pace. Don’t be shy, until you give it a try.

How does Pluralsight meet the demands of different educational institutions?

The development of different media in education began with oral teaching & learning, then moving on to written textual communication, then video, and finally computing. Each of these means of communication is accompanied by an increase in media (medium) richness theory, in terms of how many senses and interpretative abilities are to process information. Another way of defining the richness of media is by the symbol systems employed to communicate through the medium. The use of textual material from an early stage used graphics and drawings as well as words. Television or video incorporates audio as well as still and moving images. Computing now can incorporate text, audio, video, animations, simulations, computing, and networking via the internet, which leads us to participate in our conceptual theories of media richness with "Learning Technologies." Williams, (2020).
