What is Open eLMS?

Drawing upon over 25 years of experience, Open eLMS is now at v9.0, and includes specific variants for businesses, apprenticeships, schools, colleges and universities. 

But what makes Open eLMS special, and why should you consider it as your next LMS?:

  • UX “Masterpiece” - not our words, but those of recent review. Our modern, dynamic UI is familiar to those who have used Netflix - in fact is so easy-to-use you won’t need to train learners, significantly improving adoption and engagement.
  • Resources, Resources, Resources - elearning, YouTube/Vimeo, webpages, eBooks, live streamed (and recorded) training and more. You can quickly deploy resources to supplement your learning, such as topical news reports, and attach quizzes to ensure understanding and retention.
  • Centralised Resource Library - One central place for all resources to be stored and distributed. You can bulk assign learning by location, company, job role, or a custom group, such as new hires (and more!).
  • Powerful Reporting Functionality - Open eLMS allows you to use both pre-built and custom reports, export data to PowerBI for live viewing, and create automated emails which can repeat at intervals - so you don't have to do the chasing!
  • All-in-One Simplicity - Yes, it's an LMS. But it's also a VLE and an MIS - the fact of the matter is, you'd have to buy several solutions to cover all the things Open eLMS can do, so we represent incredible value.

  • Quality assurance roles/functionality allowing feedback to be observed, acted and reported on.
  • Classroom training management - set min/max class sizes, booking approvals, coaches etc
