TalentLMS is a SaaS eLearning platform (also known as a Course Management System (CMS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)).
It is primarily positioned as an employee training tool for small to medium enterprises that place emphasis on usability and workflow over feature breadth, but can also accommodate larger installations with thousands of registered users. The platform offers tools for content creation and re-purposing, test building, assignment management, reporting, internal messaging & discussions, surveys, and others. It can also be used to sell courses online.[1][2][3][4][5]
TalentLMS is used by thousands of organizations and businesses world-wide including education, retail, construction, public sector, and non profit companies. Notable users include cPanel, Delonghi, Acquia, and the University of Arizona. [6] TalentLMS is commonly included in lists of well-known SaaS learning systems, with independent comparison matrices between learning management systems often favoring it for its workflow and usability characteristics.
