  1. Great video Bianca, and very balanced assessments. I think it would be great if you could do something similar for the enterprise and SME market. All the platforms and LMS systems you mentioned are very Edtech focused, which is understandable, but I think there is still a lot of potential elsewhere for understanding options and value.

  2. Can't figure out what system is best for me. I'm producing hundreds of videos.suscribers pay at different levels e.g

    Free material
    Basic 30 videos a month
    Standard (more)
    Full (more)
    Educational (higher sum for group access).

    Are we looking at a LMS ? 🙏

  3. Great video. One question though, I've already built my entire e-course (using Rise360), and can already host/distribute it myself. So, the ONLY thing I need an LMS for is to allow me to make individual usernames/password so that I can control who accesses my course. This seems like quite a simple need on my part, so I just CAN'T justify why I should be paying THOUSANDS of dollars a year for it. Are there any cheaper "pay-per-service" type pricing models? Or do I need to bite the bullet on this one? *sad face emoji*

  4. Hi Bianca, is there a platform or LMS that would work for a small business that would like their courses integrated into Microsoft teams? I'd like to avoid needing the staff to leave the Microsoft teams environment for third-party website to access courses. Ideally they wouldn't even need to register for the LMS separately.

  5. Hello. Loved your video. We are looking to start a subscription based company that would teach a business software in one module per month. I'm thinking we'd also have a live hour once a month so participants may ask questions. I'd like to customize the site with our logo and have it look consistent to our website. I would like users to be able to use their mobile devises for learning. Would you please recommend a few software packages? Thanks!

  6. Hello, I am a dog trainer. Each of my clients will receive new exercises per week. I need an easy way to add exercises to my clients profile. It would be ideal if I could finish up their in person class, then go to my car, load up an app and simply select the specific exercises from a database then add to their profile right there. So it's not so much courses I'm looking to build but rather have a huge database of exercises that I can select from to add to specific client's profiles. Is there an app or service that fits these needs? I've been searching all over but all I can find is services that offer course building. As in a select group of students can enroll in the same course. In my case, each client will have their own unique set of exercises that can be updated each week. Sorry for the redundancy in explanation but it's difficult to explain 🙂 Hopefully you can help steer me in the right direction, thanks!

  7. Hi Thankyou for this video! I am considering an LMS to offer a tool for businesses to teach employees business communication and team buiding. Simplicity is the key because it is an additional tool not all inclusive . I am starting out with small and mid sizes businesses and I am conscious of price. Should I use a Podia ( course platorm based) or to draw B2B another platform?

  8. This was an excellent video. I've been watching a lot of videos about course creators platforms, but never heard of LXPs. This is definitely something worth keeping an eye on. I'm starting an online course business. I've seen videos on all the different platforms, but I'm still not sure which platform is best for me. I will make courses that include interactive videos, interactive questions, self-assessment and grading within the videos themselves, integrated eBooks and Q&A sections, and student forums. I'll also issue certificates and badges. We will start with one course but have enough content to create three courses in the coming year. We are starting out, but would like a solid email marketing system, as well as solid student analytics. We don't want to have to switch platforms every time we need more space, nor are we experts in coding or building an advanced website. We initially thought about Kajabi because it looked like an all-in-one solution. However, it appears that Learnworlds is a more robust LMS. It may also better fit our needs as it has interactive lectures and User engagement, Assessments & Grading. Do you believe there are other alternatives? Or learnworlds is a good place to start? Thank you very much. Here is a comparison: https://www.learnworlds.com/learnworlds-vs-kajabi-comparison/?lw_nav=internal

  9. We have built a new program that we would love your professional opinion on. It is part LMS with many unique features such as a teleprompter for practice, drill and rehearses, rating, and coaching video assessments, and built-in follow-up for leaders, with many more tools built in all completely customizable.
