Guide
We’re a small firm with Storyline and Rise courses. What LMS do we need?
A site of your own that plays your SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 exports, shows who has finished, and has a learning record store for xAPI built in.
Start your 14-day free trial5 seats, one site and 1 GB for 14 days. A card is needed, and nothing is charged unless you buy.
Without TrioLMS
- LMSs built for thousands
- A separate LRS for xAPI
With TrioLMS
- SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 play
- A learning record store built in
- Monthly, for the seats you need
The problem
You have a handful of courses made in Storyline or Rise, and 20 or 50 people who need to take them. Most LMSs are priced and set up for companies with thousands, with a sales call before you can see a price.
If the courses report with xAPI, you also need a learning record store, which is often another product with its own bill.
What people usually try
- A plugin for the company website. It can work, but someone has to keep the site, the plugin and its SCORM support up to date.
- The authoring tool’s own hosting. It’s simple, but it’s usually tied to that tool’s subscription and its way of doing things.
- A separate LRS for xAPI. It stores the statements, but it doesn’t sign people in, give them courses or issue certificates.
How it works in TrioLMS
- Start a free trial. Your account comes with one site and 5 seats, and you add seats as people join.
- Export each course from Storyline or Rise as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI or cmi5, and upload it. It arrives as a draft, and goes live when you approve it.
- Add your people one by one or from a spreadsheet. They sign in with a code sent by email, so nobody has a password to forget.
- Put them in groups and give each group its courses, with a due date if you like. Reminders go out by themselves.
- xAPI and cmi5 courses report to the site’s own learning record store. For a course hosted somewhere else, make LRS keys for it in the site.
- See who has finished in the reports, and download them as a spreadsheet or PDF. Each certificate has a code anyone can check.
What it doesn’t do
- There’s no catalogue of ready-made courses. You bring your own, or build them in the composer.
- It isn’t an HR system, and it has no social features such as forums or chat.
- Everyone who signs in needs an email address, or a company sign-in with the single sign-on add-on.
What it costs
You pay TrioLMS monthly for your account and the seats you add, with no yearly contract. Work out the price for your number of people in your currency.
