Insights, product updates, and how-to guides on building interactive mini-courses, AI-powered e-learning, and customer training.
LMS selections restart when a seat floor, a hidden price or an exit problem turns up after the demos. Seven steps, each with an owner and a gate, timed backward from your notice date.
An LMS earns its cost the day a training record has to hold up for someone other than you. Here is what each part of the software does, what breaks without it, the signs you can wait, and the order to answer the buying questions in.
LearnUpon publishes no price. What it publishes is a floor: 100 users for employees, 150 for associations, 300 for customer education. Here are eleven LearnUpon alternatives, sorted by whether they will sell to a team your size and on terms you can leave.
Docebo’s own contract decides whether you can leave before any feature does. This guide reads it clause by clause, then holds twelve Docebo alternatives to the same seven questions: price, seat floor, renewal, notice, export, compliance, and which AI features have shipped.
If a system has asked you for AICC instead of SCORM, the difference is not age. AICC posts learner data from the content server. SCORM sends it through the learner’s browser. Here is what that changes, what an AICC course actually contains, and the three questions to ask before you build anything.
A SCORM authoring tool has two jobs: build what you need, and produce a package your LMS will accept. Sixteen tools sorted by those two, with prices read from the vendors themselves and the free tiers’ export limits named.
Pick SCORM 1.2 unless you can name the reason you need 2004, and there are only three that hold up. Here are the six differences that are real, the line of text in your package that decides which runtime your LMS gives it, and how to check which version a package is actually running under.
Handed a SCORM file, or told to produce one? Here is what the zip actually contains, the one difference between SCORM 1.2 and 2004 that decides an audit, and the two-stage test that catches a package that plays but records nothing.
Every platform in this category is hosted now, so “cloud-based” no longer narrows a shortlist. What the word still decides is where your training records sit, what uptime you are promised, whose security certificate is whose, and how you get your content and completion history back out. Sixteen platforms, graded on all four from their own published pages.
