SAGE Skills: Business

SAGE Skills: Business is a new product that covers essential skills that students will need to know in their careers, including data analysis, entrepreneurship, leadership, organizational communication, and professional reputation. It pulls information into a central location and includes text, videos, journal articles, case studies, comments from experts, tables, and more to help students learn in a self-paced environment. It also offers quizzes that help students test their knowledge. It requires students to take the initiative to use the resource, since there is no way for faculty to see students’ progress. However, that also allows it to be IP access controlled without the need for an account, unless desired by the user. Navigation of the resource could use some improvement. Links need to be updated and inaudible content replaced. It would also help if SAGE limited content to the current product and perhaps to some limited content owned by the institution instead of providing links to all of their content, which is confusing to users. The resource contains great content for students trying to learn necessary skills, but the interface and content could be improved.
