PathLMS

Learning management,
simply evolved.

The hard work should be in the learning.

A full LMS, without the heavy lifting. Courses, learning paths, quizzes, certificates and reports that learners find easy and administrators find quick. Built for accessibility from the first screen, and ready for one team or your whole organization.

A course in PathLMS as a learner sees it: Workplace Safety Essentials, half done, with its lessons in order.

How it works

Build. Enroll. See who finished.

  1. 1. Build

    Write courses in the browser. Lessons, topics, quizzes and certificates, with no separate authoring tool.

  2. 2. Enroll

    Put people on the path. Enroll people or whole groups in several courses at once, in one step.

  3. 3. See who finished

    Know where things stand. Reports start with the question you have, and exports leave out names unless you ask.

For learners

Clear from the first click.

Always know what comes next. Courses sit in order and progress is easy to understand. Words are explained right where they appear. It is built to meet WCAG 2.2 AA, the usual accessibility standard.

A lesson in a safety course: two steps done, the current one open, and the quiz still locked until it is reached.

For administrators

Less to manage.

Set it up once. Put people in groups, enroll a whole group in one step, and let yearly training go out again by itself. When PathLMS cannot enroll someone, it tells you who and why.

Everything a full LMS should do.

Build, assign, review, repeat, report.

  • Courses, built in the browser

    Write lessons, topics, quizzes and certificates in one place. No separate authoring tool.

    The course builder: the outline of a course on the left, and a lesson open for writing on the right.
  • Learning paths, in order

    Put courses in order and choose which come first. Everyone sees what is next and how far they have come.

    A learning path as a learner sees it: four courses in order, with progress on the first.
  • Handed-in work, answered

    Learners hand in writing or a file. Reviewers read it, then accept it or send it back with a note.

    The Work to review page, with a learner's written reply open and Accept and Send back buttons.
  • Training that repeats, on its own

    Set yearly training once. PathLMS gives it out again, warns people before it runs out, and shows you who is behind.

    The Required training view: each required course with who is out of date or due again, and a button to put someone back on course.
  • Reports that answer questions

    Who completed what? Who is overdue? Pick the question and open the answer.

    The Reports page: eight cards, each headed by a question such as Who completed what and Who's overdue.

Make it yours

Your brand, kept readable.

Add your logo and brand color. PathLMS builds the rest of the palette from it and keeps every screen readable. Try it.

Showing PathLMS teal, the default.

For IT

Easy to run.

Set it up once, then let it run. It installs with Docker Compose on Intel or ARM servers, and a small installation is comfortable with two CPU cores and 4 GB of memory.

  • Company sign-in

    People use the account they already have, through OIDC or SAML.

  • Backups that run on their own

    The database and every uploaded file are backed up automatically.

  • Updates when you choose

    Update from a button, at a time that suits you.

  • Learner data where you decide

    Learner data stays on servers you choose.

  • HTTPS your way

    Use your own web proxy for HTTPS, or let PathLMS handle it.

  • SCORM courses

    Every installation can run uploaded SCORM courses. Turn them on when you need them.
