LearnWorlds

Avantages

The most impactful features of LearnWorlds are its scalability, its ease of use, and its ability to integrate with existing business processes. LearnWorlds is very easy to use, and its integration with existing business processes was seamless. I was able to quickly create and launch my first course without any issues.

Inconvénients

I found the course creation process to be a bit confusing and time consuming. I also found the text editor to be a bit basic and lacking in features.

Avantages

The platform is incredibly easy to use. They have just about thought of every detail to make set-up, design and publish. The resource library is packed with quick guides, especially helpful as a new user. When i got stuck, a quick search of the topic gives immediate, easy to follow steps. For anyone feeling intimidated about creating an online school for first time - don't! There is a good range of options and features to make content engaging for the learner.

Inconvénients

WE are just about to launch our online school, no negative comments so far in my experience.

Avantages

LearnWorlds is an exceptionally comprehensive LMS. Its intuitive, customizable templates make creating a stunning website effortless. The platform offers incredible flexibility in course setup, allowing you to tailor every detail to your needs. Plus, the support team is outstanding—responding promptly with practical, actionable solutions whenever questions arise.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything I don't like right now. Perhaps more in-depth video tutorials on their YouTube page. :)

Avantages

Learnworlds ist eine All-In-One-Lösung und eigentlich genau das was wir gesucht haben und teilweise auch darin gefunden haben. Es ist recht einfach einen Kurs anzulegen und eine dazugehörige Website.

Inconvénients

Es gibt kein Feature Request System. Alle Feature Request werden von Learnworlds intern bearbeitet. So hat man als Kunde überhaupt keine Einsicht darin. Uns fehlen sehr viele essenzielle Funktionen wie z.B. Affiliates über Gutscheincodes tracken, Question Banks in Vollständigkeit per CSV importieren (nur sehr bedingt möglich), Conditional Content je nach Nutzer im Kurs anzeigen, Interaktive Fragen (H5P), etc.

Avantages

With LearnWorlds we had the digital hub we needed to create courses or give presentations on new skills. I loved the abundance of templates that allowed us to format and prepare content for presentation seamlessly. I loved the ease of sending links to target audiences, and documenting their completion of viewing. I loved its efficiency in preparing digital tests, collecting correct answers, displaying the final result, and preparing lists of all the results. It is great that it works as a marketing tool where we display the links to the presentations on social media, and we can also get data on the number of views, which helps us measure our ability to influence.

Inconvénients

There are no negatives related to LearnWorlds. Its efficiency is unmatched, I consider it the best I have experienced in this field.

Avantages

Innovation and evolving. Also excellent customer service and tech support

Inconvénients

I’d like to see them embrace recommendations engines more and to sort out in-app subscriptions

Avantages

All market standard features are available. Many templates and non-technical frontend, but also customizable to suit own demands. Support is really responsive and technically experienced. Platform performance is great. Easy to scale up business. New features are being released and become available to your school on a regular basis.

Inconvénients

Actually we always found a solution to our requirements, especially due to a dedicated success manager acting as a sparring partner when investigating new ideas.

Avantages

Customer service response time.
[sensitive content hidden] is super at his job and has a real passion to help.

Inconvénients

Would like to have a phone contact for urgent matters however the support team responds quickly to email requests.

Avantages

The most notable feature of LearnWorlds has been the quick and effective customer support. Not being an experienced web or LMS designer I have been able to create an external website, payment portal, and online courses which offer graduate credit. The tools are relatively simple to use (of course there is a learning curve with any new tech product) and very effective. The support articles and videos are comprehensive and invaluable. On the occasion when I do get stuck a quick email elicits and effective response quickly. So, while I love the tech, the personal support is what make me feel like I am not alone.

Inconvénients

As I noted there is a learning curve to get started. But, they have templates (and even AI) to help with almost everything.

Avantages

I love the easy use of LearnWorlds. I have no experience in UX design, and I feel like the platform equips me with the necessary tools to design the courses and pages in a way that works for my branding.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I wish I could customize sections even further (i.e., have a different palette of "school colors" for different courses, so "course colors" would allow for more customization). But I understand that we are not designing our own website, so I am still grateful for the large amount of customization that the platform does allow.

Avantages

LW has everything set up in one platform, so someone who is not familiar with technology can easily set up their own school. The templates look beautiful and professional, and are easy to use. Customer support is stellar, and I've always had experts help me at any time I have needed them. Everything I worried about has been taken care of by LW, including the legal issues, data protection, etc., and everything I could have imagined has already been carefully thought-out by the developers, including external pages, etc. I researched learning platforms for about two years and was about to go with Thinkific, but Learnworlds seem to offer the most features for comparable basic-tier prices. From every angle, Learnworlds came out on top for me, and continues to do so. As a Greek-Cypriot, I'm also proud to support this innovative company coming out of Greece :-)

Inconvénients

The amount of information and work involved for a novice (like myself) in setting up a school on LearnWorlds can be overwhelming, but I'd rather have too much information than too little. At times, it was not clear what features I was getting on the Starter plan (for example, I thought that I could offer Group sessions via Learnworlds without having to take out another subscription to a third-party, Calendly). Also, even though the fees for Starter plan are reasonable compared to other learning platforms, I think subscription plans should be offered in Startup because it is hard to sell online courses in such a bloated market, and having subscription plans can help small startups like myself to offer customers more attractive options. It is also difficult to offer free eBooks because although they are easy to create in LW, it is hard to get them to potential customers outside of LW.

Avantages

We had been using a competitor LMS for some time and when we started the basic features such as video management, text docs etc. were fairly comparable. So the most appealing features initially was the ability to adapt the platform to our 'look', the community pages and the inbox features. I also grew to appreciate the Vimeo integration and now the improvements in the above and also the mass email function and wide range of tools and features are pretty compelling.

Inconvénients

We found the sales functions not suitable for our offers so couldn't use that and therefore lost other functions such as affiliate programs.

Pourquoi choisir LearnWorlds 

A big issue was the fact the Thinkific never allowed us to delete old programs so after 7 years the dashboard was a mess. Once we started shopping around though the additional features that LW had including in-platform community etc made it an easy choice. Then once we met with Antonis I really liked him and then the other team members we interacted with.

Pourquoi passer à LearnWorlds

They just couldn't compare to all the features of Learnworlds.

Avantages

I've never encountered such perfectly serving Customer Support. The platform is worth every penny. Versatile, easy to design, you simply have fun designing your courses. Plus the neverending new features introductions we are pampered with. Don't hesitate and go for it!

Inconvénients

Nothing. Seriously nothing. It's perfect.

Avantages

the platform is easy to use, with explanatory guides. Furthermore, the assistance is always fast and clear

Inconvénients

There is nothing in particular that I don't like about the platform.

Avantages

What Special Education Training likes most about Learn World is the ease of use, data analysis, constant training events, interactive videos, ability to use my domain, and integration with other apps, LW improved the learning management system at the onset of the pandemic to meet customer needs, new way to communicate through emails, and the Learn Worlds Help Center is an awesome resource!!!

Inconvénients

Not able to develop professional partnerships with Learn Worlds and some of their clients.

Avantages

Best customer support team which is responsive, knowledgeable and always ready to assist, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free!

Inconvénients

There are some challenges with automation, as certain processes don’t run as flexibly as expected.

Avantages

The many options and the professional setup

Inconvénients

When I have technical challenges. English is not my native language, so it may pose some challenges

Avantages

The website design and SEO on LearnWorlds is great. My website ranks very high on Google, and I was able to customize so many different aspects, which is incredibly important when making an e-learning course. Their customer service is amazing and very helpful.

Inconvénients

Their web design and course creation can be a little daunting at the beginning making it not super beginner friendly, but still worth it in the long run.

Avantages

What I like most about LearnWorlds is the user interface, it is simple and easy to navigate, it does not have confusing menus, it is a good platform to offer training and professional skills in a company, What sets it apart is the constant innovation of the team to improve the platform. I've worked with other learning platforms like Docebo and Edcast, but LearnWorlds is a perfect fit for me. Its user inteface is intuitive, especially if you are already familiar with Wordpress and Microsoft office. The platform also offers excellent training through its Masterclass series and Academy, making it easy to pick up new features.

Inconvénients

The learning curve for people who have not worked with these types of platforms before can be long. Because it takes time to get used to.

Avantages

It is one of the most innovative and valuable LMS systems I have worked with. It constantly works on bringing new features to work with.

Inconvénients

Some issues that arise while working with the platform, might have not been published in an article or a video.

Avantages

- The ability to create, edit, sell in one place
- The integrations and API
- Customer support is excellent

Inconvénients

- Can't sell physical products unless you use other platforms along with it (wix/shopify/woocommerce)

Avantages

Easy to use - lots of functionality, customer support is fantastic

Inconvénients

The option of interactive videos is great but would love the option of multiple answer questions.

Avantages

The customer support we get is fantastic. Very impressed by the patience of the many support people who help up us on a regular basis.
We started with the Pro Platform and as we moved into more live events with more people saw that greater numbers of options were available at the Learning Center level. Relieving several people of manual tasks that LearnWorlds can do automatically is really great.

Inconvénients

It would be ideal if we could add images a la carte to pages as we please but we have found some workarounds the seem to be okay.

Avantages

Good trainings available, decent cost compared to some of the more well known platforms, straightforward set up, but as we got into the final stages of inputting all my content, it was clear that the user experience was not going to be what I wanted.

Inconvénients

The elements I had in my course could not be inputted or featured the way I wanted which would have impacted students’ content consumption and flow of the lessons

Pourquoi passer à LearnWorlds

I ended up switching to Kajabi and am much happier with the comprehensive elements, my course is set up the way I want and there is a Community option which I include.

Avantages

I liked LearnWorlds' fast support and clear communication.

Inconvénients

Limited customization options and flexibility.

Avantages

The ease of use and aesthetically friendly.

Inconvénients

I think when it comes to logging in it can make it more clear on the home page as the learner. Cause if I’m enrolled in multiple courses then it shows me the percentage done. I think the home page can be less cluttery.

Avantages

I love their customer service and how quick they are to respond when you have a problem.

Inconvénients

Nothing I can think of. My experience have been great!

Avantages

The support team, weekly webinars, user guides, integrations, API, templates, custom code, and help videos are awesome!

Inconvénients

At the time of purchase, the account manager and marketing team advertised that after login pages were password protected. Their technology and development team clarified that only one page was password protected, and all other pages could be accessed without login. I had to use a workaround to address this.

Avantages

Everything is very clear and obvious when setting up - although we were offered an onboarding session to help set up our school, we enjoyed taking time to wrap our heads around it all - and got things looking and working exactly as we want for our needs. The flow of communications to learners as they are assigned to the content works so well, and we find the onboarding process quick and efficient.

Inconvénients

It's not a massive problem - as we worked round it by cloning a course and making additional versions of it (which is SO easy) - but perhaps it would be good to be able to have multiple instructors to one course have specifically assigned learners and be able to receive notifications only when their assigned learners submit, rather than have to make multiple copies of the course.

Avantages

Fast, reliable, good price, plenty of tools to work with (from the pro tier and above),

Inconvénients

It's a bit more complicated when it comes to lesson settings (e.g. you have to do SEO one time for the page and another time for the course itself). The video library gets messy when you have many videos (there isn't an option to organize them by "newest" or "oldest," etc.). There's a lack of user-defined "preset sections" or something similar, in order to build pages quickly and achieve better cohesion across your school. Copy-paste sections is counter-intuitive.

Avantages

We needed our courses moved to the new site builder. This was a seamless, hands off migration for me. I appreciated the easy and accurate transition. Very happy with the upgrade of our site and the friendly, thorough communication and [sensitive content hidden] and team.

Inconvénients

I don't have anything to write here at this time, regarding what we like least about LW.

Avantages

The versatility of the platform gives me several options to create my courses using all ideas that I have in mind.

Inconvénients

The platform lacks email functionality, what could be implemented to enhance user satisfaction.

Avantages

It is very easy to use, it is very complete with all the functions that are needed, it includes integrations with other tools. The technical support is very fast and they always solve incidents or queries very quickly.

Inconvénients

Might be missing a few more integrations

Avantages

The customer service is friendly, with the same people, and quick to help. The platform has a zillion design choices and they are ALWAYS innovating with new products. It is hard to keep up, but that is a good thing.

Inconvénients

Nothing that I can think of. It is a platform that keeps on giving.

Avantages

Ease of use great support team, excellent documentation

Inconvénients

Email notifications , not integrated with Teams

Avantages

Me encantan las muchas opciones para personalizar y diseñar nuestro sitio web para adaptarlo a nuestro estilo y necesidades.

Inconvénients

Como administrador, recibo notificaciones instantáneas cuando alguien se inscribe en nuestros cursos y puedo realizar un seguimiento de su progreso.

Avantages

Easy to set up
Good navigability from a student's perspective
Many options for tests and assignments
Fixed monthly rate
Great help center
Good support to content creators (webinars, guides, videos,...)

Inconvénients

Nothing to mention so far.

I would just advise, for those starting on online course creation, to allocate a fair amount of time to the platform setup (I did it myself). It is easy to do, but it is time-consuming due to the platform's potentiality. Take advantage of the trial period to do that.

Avantages

Full customizable, easy and inuitive to use, the possibility to clone courses to save time. Top support team, quick and very friendly. I appreciate that, because I like to go forward. So, fast answers, fast work 😊

Inconvénients

Some features I like to have are missing. They're working on it 😉

Avantages

Support is amazing! Very fast and polite!

Inconvénients

Not able to do customisations easily. A lot of things need to be done by development team.

Avantages

Me gusta mucho la cantidad de funcionalidades que tiene y look & feel de la plataforma, los cursos, las landings pages. Es realmente cómodo poder hacer el siguimiento a los alumnos. Fácil uso.

Inconvénients

Quizás algo lento para la versión móvil, el contenido a veces tarda en cargar, pero en general muy recomendable. El precio está dentro de lo normal para todo lo que ofrece.

Avantages

Easy to setup. Thought we were making a good decision. Oops.

Inconvénients

WE HAVE TO HAVE A USER FACING TIMER ON OUR COURSE. This is mandated by the State for our course work and LearnWorlds is dragging their feet taking the 30 min it would take to enable the feature.Their team is slow and won't implement no-brainer necessities. Very disappointed and wasting so much time and giving them thousands of $$$ for nothing.

Avantages

Interface is neat, easy to navigate and appealing to eyes.

Inconvénients

It’s expensive! If you are on a tight budget and want to customize it for personal branding, it may not be an affordable option for you.

Avantages

It’s a complete package, that offers course creation and academy website creation on one platform.

Inconvénients

AI course generation feature could be more efficient

Pourquoi passer à LearnWorlds

Much Less expensive than AbsorbLMS

Avantages

En su versión web es bastante usable y la interfaz es muy intuitiva. Es muy fácil seguir los cursos y hacer seguimiento de los alumnos. El precio no me parece elevado para todo el partido que sacamos a la plataforma.

Inconvénients

He encontrado algunos problemas con la versión móvil, pienso que podría mejorarse, ya que algunos contenidos tradar en cargarse y alguna vez se ha quedado bloqueado.

Avantages

I got rid of maintaining my WordPress website since LearnDash does this for me now. The creation of courses is easy and the features offered are sufficient to start with. If you need more features you must upgrade. Their support is extremely fast and helpful.

Inconvénients

White label and the App for your online school require an upgrade that is extremely expensive if you only have a few courses you want to sell.

Avantages

The things I love most about LearnWorlds are:1. The ability to import SCORM files and have them be part of the course delivery.2. The variety of assessments.3. The website templates.4. The ability to have all courses on a branded app.

Inconvénients

There is a little bit of a learning curve to get started. I switched from teachable and teachable does not have the functionality that LearnWorlds does and it also has a really simple start up process. LearnWorlds has more going on when you login and so you have to process more information to get started. Overall I still find it really simple and intuitive. It's not complicated it's just a lot more to process at first.

Avantages

It integrates the most features into what I want while giving me a ton of freedom to create the course how I want, to make my course look awesome, to integrate tons of media types

Inconvénients

The price is high compared to other software for businesses / course creators just starting out but it offers a bit more than they do. The price is good and offers a lot for those able to pay a higher price.

Logiciel antérieur 

Teachable, iSpring Suite, Absorb LMS, Udemy Business, Thinkific et Workleap

Pourquoi passer à LearnWorlds

iSpring came the closest to LearnWorlds and they have a great course authoring product but LearnWorlds offered unlimited courses / users / instructors - that is pretty well unbeatable whereas other similar platforms will charge after a certain amount of users or you are limited to how many users you can have in a year or your user has to purchase your product for a year instead of a shorter period of time... or you have to expel them from the product if they haven't used it for a while... its a lot to consider, I want my users to have lifetime access so LearnWorlds was the best

Avantages

This software works well with CurrikiStudio, which we use to design interactive learning activities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This feature allows us to make accessible content on the outside and insert it into a beautifully formatted page.

Inconvénients

As with anything, it takes practice to learn to use this tool effectively. For example, understanding how to make fillable field certificates was tricky at first, and though I figured it out, the explanation was laborious.

Avantages

LearnWorlds is very user friendly and easy to learn. There are a lot of functions we can use and different ways we can customize our product to make it personable to our company brand. It's also great that they have interactive features that we can integrate into our e-learning courses. The software had the features and functions we were looking for in providing the e-learning course we wanted to provide to our clients. You can import your own videos, add subtitles, have interactive quizzes, and even provide automatic certification upon completion of the course! All the reports and analytics that are available to admins are also really helpful because it allows me to track user progress and lost certificates if needed.

Inconvénients

There are some features that I would have hoped to be even more customizable, but whenever I ask the Support team for assistance, they always do their best to give me an alternative option or a workaround which is always nice. I think it would be nice to have some customizable pop-up alerts in case there are anything we need to notify our users when they first enter our site. Minor things such as being able to edit the footer on some pages or customizing the contact form to have more fields would be a great addition!

Avantages

LearnWorlds is more than an online learning platform. It's flexibility and adaptability has provided us the ability to engage our 342 connected non-profits around New York State in a variety of ways. The best part is that there support team is quick to respond and help with the unique situations we're running into as we provide resources and connection to our over 1000 member organization. Couldn't be more happy with our experience.

Inconvénients

I'm getting picky here but the updated design elements (which I was hoping would come out) ended up being great but I had to rebuild all my pages to fit the new templates. I use the platform as a digital resource library so I've got over 125 "courses" that I had to recreate. But it ended up being a net positive because the new template designs and user experience is way better.
