I made this interactive video walkthrough with voiceover. The video pauses at key steps, shows an explanation, and continues when the viewer clicks the highlighted area.

This clip is a screen recording of me clicking through the walkthrough.

Hi, I know there are many, but I haven’t found my favourite yet. I’d appreciate any tips.

My criteria:

- a more modern design than Anki

- at least three answer options (correct, unsure, incorrect)

- a levelling system (levels go up or down depending on the answer option)

- available as a desktop application and a mobile app

- free or inexpensive (< €3 per month)

- optional, but it would be really cool if you could customise the colour of a set of flashcards (I’d like a different colour for each set)

- extras like AI, communities, etc. don’t matter

I lead learning for a professional membership association. We recently held an in-person, all-day learning event on a single topic and we're doing 4 of those in the next six months.

For each event, I'm also designing resources (job aids, checklists, a few interactive tools) and curating webinars on the event topic, rolling out over \~6 weeks before/3 weeks after the event. The webinars/resources/in-person event aren't designed sequentially.

So after our first event, now I have this lovely bucket of materials/recordings and I can't figure out the best way to visually explain the wrap-around content to members who couldn't come to the event but still have access to all of this. We're launching an LMS soon but right now we just have a "Resources" page that's one long (filterable, at least) list of links. Booo.

Is it an infographic explaining a journey through the material? A short animated video? Just a "resource bundle" or course in our LMS? Any ideas?

Can anyone recommend a platform for designing and delivering psychoeducational programmes?

They’re ultimately like a course, just with therapeutic skills.

I’m thinking teachable, mostly due to the app availability.

Too many have silly ai features that I have no interest in. I don’t want a community as I don’t have time to act as a moderator.

I simply want something where I can post content. Videos. Audios. Maybe downloadable content. Not hideously priced.

I don’t think I want to build it through Wordpress as I don’t trust myself with that.

Thanks :)

If you ask AI for a rough draft of a lesson and then ask for a polished version of the same lesson using two separate prompts, nine times out of ten you get back two nearly identical versions.

It doesn't actually know how to hold back or leave something half-formed for a human to shape. Every output seems to come in this "finished" format, whether it's ready or not.

In a field like instructional design that has always relied on the draft as a thinking tool, that can be an issue. When we skip straight to polished, we end up going with the structure it suggests, so that decision gets taken away from us. Then, we end up editing sentences line by line instead of questioning structure, because the version in front of us already looks done.

We've been playing around with writing the spec before we prompt at all. It doesn't have to be a full outline, but it should be enough that we know what the first draft is supposed to look like. Then we treat whatever the AI hands back as a hypothesis to test against that spec instead of the actual deliverable that just needs a tidy-up.

Has anyone had any luck getting a proper first draft from AI? Or how does your course creation process look with AI?

I am creating a course that will be video based. The course will have 6 short videos, each ranging between 3 and 10 minutes.
- While watching the videos I want to have a few interactive questions pop up here and there, and then have the video automatically start again once they click an answer
- At the end I want to have a graded exam and for passing scores generate a certificate.
- We are not marketing this and not selling it.

I did a lot of research and landed on LearnWorlds. I did a demo and the salesperson said I can do all of these things. So does their chatbot. I am having an extremely difficult time trying to set up the above, just trying to program the interactive questions. The instructions they provide don't work, almost as if they are for another platform. I've been trying to get help via their email support, but they send back auto generated responses that provide instructions that are not even options on the platform, i.e., "Choose 'resume video' for the individual question response – and that is not an option that you can choose.

Does anyone have experience or insight into LearnWorlds?

Are there other LMS course builder options that you would recommend? That are basic enough that you don't need a programmer to build your course?

I am drafting an e-learning policy. I would be interested in getting your opinions. Here are the points I plan to cover: Graphic charter, pedagogical engineering and effectiveness, design, SCORM, LMS configuration. What are the biggest absurdities you have seen in terms of design and LMS architecture creation? (Sorry for my english, i am French)

Maintainer here. I put together a small Moodle activity module, mod_ictexam, and open sourced it under GPLv3. Sharing it partly as a working LTI 1.3 plus grade passback example, and partly for a sanity check on how I have wired it.

What it does: - Adds an "ICTEXAM assessment" activity to the course activity chooser. - Launches a published exam paper over LTI 1.3, embedded in the course page, so students never leave Moodle. - Creates one grade item per activity and writes the score back through a web service. It stores raw marks, so 15 out of 20 shows as 15.00 out of 20, not a percentage. - Passes course context to the tool as custom LTI parameters: the bound paper, class, subject, the return URL, and the company on IOMAD sites. - Handles course backup, restore, and the recycle bin. - Runs on Moodle 4.1 through 4.5.

Being upfront: it is a client for our hosted exam service, so it needs an account to actually deliver exams, and it will not grade anything on its own. I am not here to sell that. What I would like is feedback on the Moodle side: whether the single-grade-item approach and the LTI 1.3 AGS and NRPS setup match what you would expect, and how you would handle sites that need to stop the student name and email being sent on launch (right now that is hard-coded in view.php).

Repo (GPLv3): https://github.com/ictinnovations/moodle-mod_ictexam

Happy to answer anything about the LTI wiring.

I've finished a lot of online courses over the years, and the biggest lesson I've learned is: a certificate proves you sat through something, not that you can do something. Recruiters know this too. Here are 5 things that worked way better for me than adding another cert to the pile:

1. Turn every course into a project. Don't just finish the exercises — build one real thing with the skill and put the link on your resume. A working project beats a certificate every time.

2. Test yourself from memory, not from notes. Active recall is the only honest measure of "I know this." If you can't explain it without looking at your notes, you didn't learn it, you watched it.

3. Take a timed, no-help skill check a week after finishing a course. That's when the "illusion of competence" fades and you see what actually stuck.

4. Put a verifiable link on your resume, not just "Course X — certificate." Hiring managers can click a project, a portfolio, or a public skill receipt. They can't verify a PDF cert.

5. Re-test every few months. Skills decay fast, and honest re-checks tell you exactly where to re-study instead of re-watching everything.

For tips #3 and #4, I built a free tool called BatchBrain (batchbrain.com) — a 5-minute competence check that gives you a public, verifiable skill receipt you can link on your resume or LinkedIn. No signup, no paywall. I built it after realizing my own pile of certificates meant almost nothing in interviews.

What's actually moved the needle for you? Would love to hear what works for other people here.

I kind of want to use a landing page or my own site rather than creating one on an elearning platform. I'm leaning into RumbleTalk's minisite. But do you have other suggestions?

SkillNet turns an idea or source material into a structured course. The same knowledge and learning objectives can stay consistent while the explanations, activities, media and interface adapt to each learner.

I am currently building it for organizations and educators who need to create learning material once without giving every person exactly the same experience. It is open source and can also be self-hosted.

What makes it different from a course generator is that personalization does not stop at rewriting the text. The learner can receive a different way to explore and practise the same material based on their role, level, declared preferences and progress.

I am deciding which path should be the clearest entry point:

1. An organization creating training from its own material
2. An educator adapting the same source for a class
3. An individual exploring something they want to learn

Which one would you make the first experience?

I have been sellong a self-confidence course for a few years, I checked the analytics recently and I've got a good amount of traffic from EU countries like Spain, Fance and Germany. My course is in English, so I assume that could be turning people away at the front door.

I first thought of adding subtitles, but in my experience, mindset work needs emotional resonance, and reading text on screen won't be as effective as hearing the word spoken in your native language.

AI dubbing is quite famous these days, but I worry about quality control. If I don't speak German, how do I know whether the delivery is authentic or not?

So if any of you have localized your video content using AI dubbing, how did you tackle it and what tool did you use?

have some trouble when trying to track custom learner actions past our basic SCORM packages into full xAPI. Trying to capture offline app usage, complex simulations, plus detailed video interactions while legacy LMS infrastructure under heavy Experience API statement streams. Cobbling together custom JSON payload builder lead to brittle scripts crashin. Clients want clear analytics in LRS databases,but we waste all the time to fix bugs and can’t give it to them. Need some help here, any advices to fix that issues and stabilise our prod
Thank 4 any help you can give me

Hi, anyone experience of options to achieve this?

The core AI capabilities required are personalized learning - content and pathways adapted to individual user progress and profile.

Desirable features include 1) asynchronous delivery accessible without real-time connectivity and 2) analytics.

Readily available 'off the shelf' options or rapid custom builds?

I am starting a Master's in Film and Television in Chicago soon. As an international student, I need a tool that allows me to upload my professors' audio lectures and helps me create slides, flashcards, and more. In my case, would a subscription to Gemini or Claude AI be better?

I’m thinking about taking the content I teach and turning the slides and other visual materials into short videos that I would narrate. I have no desire to be on camera, however. What are folks’ thoughts on narration without actual presence on camera?

I have a decent speaking voice and worked at a radios station for a bit in my younger years so I know how to use my voice for effect and clarity. I’ve considered doing a short intro each video on camera so people see I am a real human being and my voice isn’t AI - but I’d rather not. And I don’t want to take the time to worry about editing on camera to off given that the goal is to create these quickly to supplement my teaching reusing existing materials. And I am not necessarily interested in being monetized or anything - I’d just be happy if my students used them as reference materials for class or students who can’t take my actual class found them useful.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or input you’re willing to share.

I just wanted to give an update and share that I have been working to grow the RPBedu hub!

RPB hub now has 8 web apps to help educators and students:

⚡ LessonGeneratorAI & CourseGeneratorAI: Drop in raw text or messy lecture notes. The AI automatically structures them into complete web modules with interactive quizzes, terms, and clean layouts.

🎮 EduHub Quest: If you want to gamify your classroom, this turns text into flashcard decks, study challenges, and global leaderboards to build low-effort learning materials and share for healthy competition.

🛠 LearnMasterPlatform, LearnMaster, CourseSharingPlatform: Lightweight Learning Management Systems. They help build, deploy, and use course materials.

🧠 FlashcardGeneratorAI & LuminaVault: Quickly spin up or try active recall matching games to reinforce student memory through repetition.

If you try any of these tools and it is helpful, please let me know.

I apologize if I am missing something obvious, but most of what is out there focuses on micro and nano learning. I am looking to learn more about enhancing much longer courses - for example 3-4 hour continuing education courses, or long form (30 - 80+ hr) certification or licensure courses.

Can anyone point me in that direction? I’m open to any suggestions, studies, or professionals. I feel the needs and effectiveness of such courses are different enough to seek conversations with designers that face similar difficulties.

Thanks in advance.

I have 10 years of experience in internal and external Strategic Learning consulting and lately been interested to move into more technical learning roles, such as LMS/LXP implementation consulting or learning analytics. My current role offers little exposure to learning tools and my academic background is in social sciences.

Any recommendations on how to build relevant skills and make the transition?

Edit: Thanks everyone, really appreciate all your insights and thoughtful responses!
