HOWSPACE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO DEGREED


What’s the difference between
Degreed and Howspace?

Degreed is a learning experience platform

As an LXP, focused on enabling employees to manage and direct their own learning, Degreed supports companies in delivering a wide variety of skills-first training programs geared toward individual employees and their skill development within an organization.

This makes Degreed a great solution for organizations that need to quickly upskill employees and maintain organizational standards with less top-down management from administrators.

Howspace is a collaborative
learning platform

Like Degreed, you can also deliver employee training and development programs through Howspace. However, it offers much more than isolated and self-paced learning journeys.

Howspace delivers learning truly embedded in the employees’ flow of work — combining social learning, collaboration and teamwork, and personal reflection, to help employees learn, make sense, and ultimately take action together.

Howspace is a great fit for organizations such as

Corporate Companies

Consulting & Training Services

Associations & Trade Unions

3 Reasons why 500K+ users choose Howspace for learning and training

Howspace is accessible to a global workforce

It bridges time zones, languages, and locations, allowing everyone to get actively involved, no matter which office, which country, or even which language they use daily.

Through a blend of live and async learning combined with built-in automatic translations, participants are able to learn, collaborate, and grow together — from anywhere and all within the same platform.

JHL

Ensures global teams connect effortlessly

“We have a lot of people with Swedish and immigrant backgrounds, so the translation feature allows us to translate information in real-time so that everyone gets the same information regardless of language.”

Sanna Pihakivi, Occupation-Specific Activities Specialist

Howspace focuses on social-first iterative learning

Most learning programs are typically isolated and self-paced, not community-driven. Howspace embeds collaborative learning in their day-to-day work — with a mixture of activities that people complete, and reflect on, together.

Because more social interaction and more touchpoints lead to greater impact, greater retention, and longer-lasting behavioral changes.

Enhances knowledge retention

“From discussion forums and group collaborations to real-time polls and surveys, Howspace fosters an environment where learners can actively contribute, share ideas, and learn from one another. This emphasis on participation enhances knowledge retention and creates a sense of community and collaboration.”

Howspace scales programs without giving up active participation 

Often traditional e-learning programs are built with limited participant input, especially as they scale. With interactive exercises, peer communities, and AI-powered collaboration tools, Howspace provides everything you need to build scalable, results-driven training and learning programs.

We would argue that the more people actively engaged in and contributing to the learning journey the more our platform shines!

Xonetic

Makes things so much more engaging and interactive

“Before Howspace, gaining insights from conversations was a time-intensive and manual process. Howspace’s AI has streamlined the process, giving us visually rich representations of word cloud-related data, while accurately capturing the themes and sentiments —  providing a powerful tool for organizational playback.”

“It was key for us to have such an easy, accessible, and flexible tool. We didn’t want something static, but instead wanted something that can flow with us as we move through the process—that’s what attracted us to Howspace. Together with the Howspace team, we’re creating an accessible space, and we’re able to respond to last-minute needs.”
