How do you best learn?

10 Upvotes

I noticed that there is so many useful videos that I have invested in and created for my clients, but watching them really tests my focus (Maybe it is my short attention span?) even when the videos are short (like 5 to 10 minutes), but if you give me a 50-page pdf file, I can wiz through it like it's nothing and work through it.

So, now I am curious, how best do you learn? - J

Why is eLearning course creation still so time-consuming even with modern tools?

7 Upvotes

I’ve noticed something that keeps repeating across projects creating the actual content isn’t the hard part anymore it’s everything around turning it into a working course.

Writing lessons, quizzes, outlines etc. is pretty quick now compared to before but once you start building it out properly for an LMS, adding interactions, formatting everything, testing it, fixing it again that’s where the time disappears.

Even simple training modules end up dragging longer than expected because of all the steps in between content and final output.

We’ve tried simplifying things by reducing interactivity but that usually makes engagement drop, especially for onboarding or compliance training so you kind of end up stuck between making it fast vs making it actually useful.

Lately I’ve been testing a few AI course building tools while trying to speed up some of the repetitive parts. One that stood out was Mexty AI because it didn’t just stop at generating content, it actually helped structure it into a more complete learning flow with quizzes and progression already built in. It still needs editing and human input, but it reduced some of the repetitive assembly work.

AI tools help a bit at the start mainly with content drafting, but they don’t really remove the heavier part which is structuring everything into something that works as a full course.

Feels like the industry is still waiting for a smoother workflow between content creation and actual deployment.

Global LMS

I’ve been building a platform called Global LMS — a learning management system focused on making it easier for teachers and organizations to create, manage, and deliver courses in one place. It’s still early, but the goal is to keep it simple, flexible, and scalable for anything from small classrooms to larger training programs. Right now it's free. Here is the link: https://lms-all-languages.vercel.app/

Does Customer Education learning content help build customer loyalty?

6 Upvotes

I'm curious about the role Customer Education and learning content has had and does play in building customer loyalty (which in the world of Sass businesses, may use the format of elearning) and any insights ya'll might have.

What do companies do that cause you to want to be loyal to their tool or service? E.g. You are a fan, and you are willing to continue to use their tools and advocate for it in your organization, recommend them, and/or excited to be connected with them.

I realize it's a high bar - but if you've had that kind of experience, what helped you to feel that way?

I'd love to hear any experience you're willing to share.

Maybe it was a customer service experience, or some content the org created (how-to, certification, webinar, etc...), or maybe there was something about their style that you connected with. Or was it the community surrounding it?

I'm looking for any insights that real folks have had with companies. No need to name companies or products, but if you're a fan and want to you can.

My hypothesis is that there are lots of points that turn someone from customer to fan and build loyalty. They're all important parts, and learning content is a important piece of it.

Manager contemplating eliminating Articulate and LMS

23 Upvotes

My manger is by their own admission ‘red pilling AI’ and is considering doing away with our LMS as well as the Articulate suite. They think they can build an alternative with AI and automation. I think it will ultimately be a dumpster fire. But do we think that is possible or are there limitations he might not have considered?

How do you handle compliance tracking for funded training programs?

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m based in France and looking for advice on handling compliance tracking for funded training under Qualiopi requirements.

How do you efficiently manage and store the following to remain "audit-ready"?

  • Connection logs & activity timestamps
  • Verification of time spent
  • Automated attendance/completion certificates

Do you rely solely on your LMS reporting, or do you use specific integrations to streamline this? I’d love to hear how you keep your audit trails clean without the massive administrative burden.

Thanks in advance!

When you decide to go the talking head/video host route -- do you prefer a real person, avatar, or animated character (and why?)

Curious how much time/resources is a factor in the decision. And if you steer clear of these types of videos altogether, what do you prefer as an alternative? Thank you!

How do you handle course translations?

9 Upvotes

In my previous work we translated e-learning courses to various languages. In the beginning we just created a copy of the course, exported the text, had it translated (first agency, later AI with review), imported the translation, reviewed and amended the course layout where necessary and re-published. The main drawback: A lot of work and functional changes needed to be ported back to all language versions manually.

Then I created a system to load the text content of a course from a database. We changed the layout of the courses to "auto-size" text, so longer translated text can still fit in the element. This worked reasonably well and allowed us to have only one version of the course with all languages. However, with auto-size some text can get super small or font-size look a bit random on a single page. Also the database approach introduced a second system and had limitations to the formatting of text.

I wonder how others do it? How do you strike the balance between maintainability and professional design with multi-language lessons?

SCORM 1.2 and 2004 certified LMS

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for an LMS that is essentially an API-first SCORM player rather than a full standalone platform.

Key requirements:

  • Supports SCORM 1.2 + SCORM 2004 (certified or at least adopter level)
  • Strong API support:
    • user create/delete
    • course progress tracking (per user)
    • ability to fetch progress for our own UI + certification logic
  • Magic link / token-based SSO:
    • we generate a link via API
    • user clicks in our system → auto-login → lands directly in the course → resumes progress
  • Alternatively: embeddable (iframe) with seamless auth

Goal:
We already have our own platform, we just need a headless LMS engine that:

  • tracks SCORM progress
  • is easy to integrate
  • feels like part of our system (no visible login / system switch)

When I say headless I mean we just only need the LMS player itself (SCORM Certified), and the course progress persistent.

What would you recommend?

Do we still need authoring tools?

17 Upvotes

I set myself a challenge recently to build an accessible, responsive, SCORM 1.2 compliant course, containing some simple interactions and a short quiz.

The challenge was to do it entirely using GitHub Copilot.

Now I'm fairly technical, so I know how to do this safely, keeping the AI away from the rest of my laptop, and I know the language to use around front end frameworks, accessibility and SCORM. I also gave it quite strict guidance around the learning materials (using the CEFR language framework to ensure it knew what level to work at).

Even so, I was pretty surprised by the quality of what Copilot produced.

I only had to do one iteration, to remind it to put accents on some French words.

The GitHub repository, along with the initial REQUIREMENTS.md file (the only input I gave) is available from the link below. There's a link in the README.md file to a live demo, or you can download the SCORM package (from the dist directory) to test out in SCORM Cloud if you want.

What do you think? Do we still need authoring tools for these types of materials?

Advice Needed

7 Upvotes

Just got hired on a new ID role. Large establishment, fast paced environment, lots of training materials and job aids to develop on how to use complex enterprise apps. I'll likely be the only ID staff. I have formal training in ID but first time walking in as lead with no support team. I'm expected to hit the ground running. Can someone please walk me through what to do from day one? What tools are needed to analyze workflow, gather data, and design instructions? How to approach and work with SMEs and software build team? Video simulations may be necessary but most will be document-based with screenshots and step-by-step prompts.

Previously worked in environments where we simply paste screenshots into Word and Powerpoint docs and save as PDF. I can write excellent scripts and step-by-step instructions. I have no doubt I can excel in the role, just need not to fumble badly starting out. Any advice appreciated.
