LearnUpon

I think LearnUpon is a great LMS for an organization that focuses on internal learners, aka, employees. It's very easy to create courses, enroll learners, and mark attendance. For an association such as mine, more support would be helpful for appropriately setting up the store to reflect member and non-member accounts. In addition, it's difficult to do outside-the-box functions like transfers and refunds.

This is a great benefit to our students when it comes to their courses being in their account immediately upon purchase. The student user experience has been good. The admin user experiences are a little less great; there are restrictions with coupons and grouping which wasn't apparent at the product demo but have become frustrating issues as we move forward.

With regard to course construction and design, I think LearnUpon excels in many areas. There tends to be a bit of a learning curve for new users, but the dashboard interface and finding courses that a student has enrolled in is pretty quickly resolved, and it is very convenient to house materials in LearnUpon and ensure that students are able to access them, rather than having to rely on printing materials and/or manually distributing documents through emails or some other digital means (DropBox, Drive, Hightail, etc.). It is, for all intents and purposes a Learning Management System, and is intended to manage and track students' coursework and learning. I will say though, that in terms of record-keeping, is an area where it falters. Finding and maintaining receipts of orders placed through the storefront is not convenient from an administrative standpoint. Processing a refund for a student if we cancel a class, that was an enrollment transferred from a previous class, is clunky. Guaranteeing that members are able to purchase course enrollments under their specific price tier, while at the same time preventing non-members from doing so, is not convenient and not something that is easily fixable. Currently, new users can only [default] to either members OR non-members, and that classification has to be manually adjusted. Given that some organizations can run into above 10,000 members, this is an obvious challenge.

LearnUpon is likely better suited to an organization who uses it to deliver and track training internally. You can import your AD list of employees and create accounts for them. It works for training externally, but we've had to employ a lot of workarounds to make it suitable for our purposes.

We've been a customer for six years and I don't see that changing anytime soon. We're very happy with LearnUpon.

LearnUpon is well-suited to an organization that would like to implement training for its employees and/or customer base. It is powerful, yet simple and intuitive while being packed full of features. They have flexible pricing plans too, you can pay per active user or by a set number of accounts.
