The LMS is in the Past – The Future is the Cloud
A Learning Management System (LMS) offers tons of functionality. At the same time it sets strict boundaries for learning, often requiring a substantial investment in time and money which is hard to maintain.
We are proud to offer a modern alternative to the LMS: a flexible best of breed, fully web-based (SaaS) solution created by a unique collaboration of three organizations:
- Aim 4 You
- Saltbox
- Easygenerator
What do we expect from a LMS?
- to deliver content to the learner,
- to track and trace learner results and
- to create courses and learning content.
Let’s start with authoring courses. Easygenerator offers a completely web-based authoring environment that can be used for free or with a subscription ($19 per month). It allows you to create instructionally sound eLearning courses based on learning objectives. The courses are responsive (they will run one very device) and can be published to the web or an LMS.
The second function is displaying and delivering content to the learner. Aim 4 You offers an unique global eLearning catalog that aggregates learning from all over the world. It allows developers, designers, IDs or anyone to showcase content or courses, invite people to follow it, provide more information and / or sell it directly. Aim 4 You takes care of the back office, so no implementation is required, and you get the benefits. And if you don’t want your learning displayed globally, with one simple click you can secure your content to only invitees. It’s as simple as that. Try our service free of charge.
Saltbox offers tracking and tracing Based on Tin Can (Xapi). It offers a hosted solution for the LRS (the Tin Can database) and it adds reporting to it.
So what did we do?
Each of these three companies is a best in class company in their own field; together we simply joined forces to create a complete and flexible solution: we connected our solutions for you.
How does it work?
It’s easy. When you create a course in easygenerator, include the Saltbox (Tin Can) settings and credentials. Then when the course is used, it will report automatically to the Saltbox LRS. Next, you can publish the course into the eLearning catalog from Aim 4 You, with a few simple clicks. Done – that’s all there is to do. No installation, no IT, no coding. This can all be set-up on your own in a few minutes.
Try it for free!

The Learning 2019 conference
I have been to a ton of learning conferences but this will be my first time at #learning2019. I’m looking forward to it and I’m planning to report on all interesting sessions via this blog.
