Has anyone see the error “there is no connection to the server. Please check your Internet connection and try again”?

Hello! We currently use Articulate:Rise to create the majority of our elearning courses. We are wanting to create a test (as a SCORM file?) and upload it into our LMS so that we can track test scores, questions, etc.

Rise quizes give us all the features that we want (multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, etc) BUT you cant skip questions and go back to them later. Once you answer a question, you cant move on.

I am looking for something that would function like MS Forms, where you can answer questions, skip them and come back to them, and then submit the test when you are finished.

Anyone know of a product that would allow me to do that?

Does anyone have experience with a Headless LMS that has built-in CMS capabilities?

The platform I am trying to build would like to have a seamless learning experience where we can host traditional course content while also being able to publish supporting content like articles and blogs.

Added bonus would be that the platform integrates well with a python backend

Would love to hear recommendations!

Hi! I am currently working as part of a team on the development of a microcredential. We are using moodle for it. The team is now asking about the microcredential feature in Moodle. I have never used it, and from what i have read, it seems that it is some kind of badge system? I dont really understand what this is/why it is useful/what is required to set these up? Since it will be a university that will be accrediting the microcredential, can anyone give insight into the benefit of the moodle microcredential function?? thanks!!

Hello, new here and looking for any hint of recreating this issue. We have clients that have users experiencing this regularly enough to inform us of the issue. We export AICC. Basically what we know is that the user progress is not being reported after a time. We have a verify session active in the training that kicks them out if the LMS stops receiving the put params. If we log out, we get the error, we have tried on various web browsers and devices, turning internet on and off, going full screen mode, clearing cookies, and more but can't recreate the problem. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Please help?! I recently joined a startup software company where I'll be creating custom content in Articulate for the technical account managers (so not sales teams/ not pre-canned sales courses), then loading it into an LMS. After some LMS vetting Skillsoft Percipio seemed like a good fit and already used by HR. But now someone senior there (not my direct manager line) is pushing me to check out Highspot, which the sales teams use. Any opinions on one over the other for saas product training for a non-sales audience? At least for the better user experience/learner reporting?

Hi everyone,

I have been using Sensei LMS to present my Multidisciplinary Design course. I just checked my student list to see a couple of enrollments. After the initial excitement, it was short-lived after realising it was all bots. Does anyone have any strategies to prevent bots from coming onto your LMS? I'm pretty new to this kinda thing.

Thanks!

In the current landscape and alternatives, like LTI and API/xAPI, why would anyone go with SCORM?

Hi, for years I've used Soundcloud to host the audio portions of my online courses on Teachable (moving now to Thinkific) because Soundcloud provided analytics

A student brought to my attention that SoundCloud requires everyone to create an account in order to download. I feel like that's a bridge too far when people are tired of downloading (and giving permissions to) new apps.

For those of you who offer audio content, what programs (if any) do you use to host that content and provide analytics/tracking?

Hello elearners! I am seeking an LMS solution for a specific need, and my research thus far hasn't been particularly fruitful. It seems like I can't get much useful info without being shunted to a sales team...

Background: I work on a very small L&D Team, for a moderately-sized company. Up until now, all of our content has been internal-facing. We've been using Docebo. However, we're looking into providing external training to End Users, and from what we can tell, pricing for Docebo is going to quickly get prohibitive at the scale we anticipate. I am hoping we can find a better option.

Desired Parameters:

• Smallish content volume of short elearning modules
• Up to ~150k learners/active users
• Cost-efficient up to the above scale
• Some level of reporting (even just completion?), even if it's not fancy.
• Support for account-creation API we could use to autocreate LMS accounts using existing user accounts (reduced access friction for the learner)

Anyone have any experience in this vein? I'd love to hear what worked/didn't work for you.

Is it absolutely necessary to have Web Hosting for Articulate 360 or is it optional?

Trying to understand how do you manage to compress large SCORM files for upload and delivery with slower internet connection?

Hi everyone! I am new to this sub. I am teacher looking to transition into Learning and Development or some type of corporate training role. Does anyone know about any networking events in NYC? Or places where I can find networking events? I am open to in-person or online. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

As the "owner" of that community, are you able to "hide" the log out button, so students stay signed in?

I'm not recommending this. But is it possible that some kajabi owners are doing this intentionally, to collect data on their students?

I try to update my resume at the start of each year. This year I wanted to focus on the smaller additional items. I figured professional bodies, research papers (not a lot of places ask this but I have seen some companies do it), and just additional notes would be the areas I could l'd tackle.

For the additional notes I'm putting down I'm a coach with a local sports team, so happy with that but papers and professional bodies I'm having trouble with.

I understand there are some benefits of publishing a research paper, but I find very few research papers cover something practical. Looking into some possible areas but I realise that might be maybe a year long project but since only very specific places might ask for them I'm not too pressed to make something for this. Wondering ye're take on this?

Professional bodies is where I am struggling though. I joined one at the start of my career, cost a few hundred dollars to join but thought it would be beneficial, but it wasn't. It was basically a quarterly magazine, they'd interview some big companies training manager but every interview was the same, no real insight, generic answers. I contacted the body to try to take benefit of some of their offers only to get no response. When they eventually contacted me it was after I'd canceled my membership and they were looking for this year's dues. Has anyone come across a professional body that ye found worthwhile?

Hi everyone, I currently run a website on Wix focused on all things Iranian---language, people, cities, cuisine, restaurants, animals, history, etc.---(Iranopedia.com), but I’m now looking to expand and create a self-paced, gamified Farsi learning course for beginners and travelers. My idea is to include features like flashcards, quizzes, progress tracking, drip feed(maybe), and points/leaderboards to keep learners engaged but I’m unsure if Wix’s tools are enough for what I want. I'm already having issues with site speed/scaling/some customization on Wix and this time I want to plan ahead for the big picture, so I might want to build this program outside of Wix. Does anyone have experience with platforms like Thinkific, Wix Built in Online School, or others that might suit my vision? Open to any recommendations—thank you!

Please feel free to ask me any questions that might help you provide a better answer

Hi! Are there any clauses in agreements with client contracts about using AI?

For instance, can one use AI for sample course outlines and or scripts as a starting point to save time? Is there a way to use AI to generate slide content from a google doc?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on an idea for an AI-powered microlearning app, and I’d love your honest feedback (and any roasts if necessary). The concept revolves around using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to deliver concise, accurate snippets on various topics. Users could either explore random topics to expand their general knowledge or request specific subjects they want to learn about.

Here’s what the app would offer:

1. Topic Summaries: Bite-sized explanations generated by AI, perfect for quick learning.
2. Flashcards: Automatically generated for key terms and concepts.
3. Quizzes: Interactive exercises to test understanding and retention.
4. Customization: Users could choose the level of detail they want or request content in different formats, like timelines, ELI5-style explanations, or deeper dives into subtopics.
5. Gamification: A points-based system for completing quizzes or mastering flashcards to keep things engaging.

The idea is to create a flexible, engaging tool for people who want to learn during short breaks or on the go. Think of it as combining the best features of ChatGPT, Anki, and Duolingo into a single app.

However, I’m unsure about a few things:

• Does this idea stand out? There are already apps for flashcards, quizzes, and learning in general. Is this unique enough to capture interest?
• Will people use it consistently? Or would it just end up as another app they forget about?
• Potential pitfalls? Could AI accuracy, content relevance, or lack of user engagement be dealbreakers?

I’m also open to suggestions for features that might make this more appealing. Is there anything similar that you’ve used and loved—or hated?

Hello! Everyone is helpful here, and I’d love to find other subreddits that talk eLearning and LMS trends. Before someone tells me to google I’ve been looking and found some but I’d love recommendations for active communities that are friendly ☺️💖 Thanks!

For those that use Adapt Learning, have any of you found a review tool that works well with it. We have used Review my eLearning with multiple other authoring tools, but it doesn't seem to work with Adapt. We have also used zipBoard, but that isn't able to capture where in the course the comment has been made. Most other review tools do not have the capability of even uploading the SCORM file without an error. Does anyone have a solution for this that would make it easier for external clients to review the course.

Me and my business partner run a production company, we are starting a new venture into visual novels. This will be our first one while he is doing the creative side I have been tasked with the marketing side, which admittedly I don't know much about. which platform of marketing courses should I start with? Coursera, semrush, google certs? I would appreciate any advice.

Hi all, 

Not sure if this is the right space for this discussion so please advise on any channels you think may be better suited.

We have been looking for an LMS for the past 2 weeks, multiple demos with vendors, and emailing back and forth. Some vendors we looked at were Dugga, Talent LMS, Cloud Assess, Examsoft, and ProProfs.

We believed our use case was quite simple going into this, but based on my research, I realise that the ingestion of questions via API is not commonly supported in the LMS space. Therefore, we are considering staying with our current LMS (LearnUpon) unless we can find a tool that reduces costs and provides more automation. 

The diagram above shows our ideal workflow (MCQ stands for multiple-choice questions).

Context: We prefer this workflow because we want our CMS (Kontent.ai) to remain the source of truth for all content. We don't want our authors to learn a new tool or switch between them. 

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions for tools that could support our ideal workflow.

I have a support team and an FAQ guide that could have all the answers to all the LMS questions you could ever possibly think to ask as a learner. But I keep getting emails and tickets and questions and just trying to send them to my FAQ article. How can I streamline this process so I don't keep needing to answer the same thing?

hi everyone, we want to introduce a free online certificate generator.

you can use it to create certificates for. your courses/classes.

Hey All,

I have created 7 quizzes in a company learndash. added each question and followed mulitple youtube videos to make sure i have gotten everything right.

However when we try to complete the quiz as a user it does not work.

If i have the settings set for a start button or no start button the user cannot progress from the quiz page.

I dont know if I have a silly setting selected or this is a access error? Please help!

Hi there, I purchased the learndash cloud option 2 hours ago. I then followed a tutorial on how to setup the website, every time I press on admin login, then enter the admin username and password. It says "This page is not working". It also for some reason redirects me to my domain name on godaddy. Does anyone know how to fix this so i can setup the website.

I'm working on creating a video course and researching which platform to choose. My course is going to include exercises where students use "chatbots" and I want them to be able to do this as a step that flows with the other steps in the course, rather than them having to go to a different page. Lots of websites offer chatbots as customer service help (I hate when websites do this). What I want instead is more of an interactive lesson.

I've found that Kajabi would allow me to do this but it seems like a pretty niche customization rather than a well-oiled feature. I'd love to hear if anyone knows of another platform where this is possible.
