What OpenLearning is
OpenLearning is a paid, AI-powered learning management system and course marketplace for education providers, higher education, training organisations, and enterprise learning teams.

Engagement features include course feeds, galleries, peer comments, and kudos points. Outcome-based assessment, automatically graded quizzes, portfolios, certificates, and badges support credentials. Administrators can export interaction and completion data or stream activity to a Learning Record Store through xAPI. Listed integrations include SSO, LTI, management APIs, and xAPI. A payment gateway handles multiple currencies and weekly payouts. OpenLearning runs on web, iOS, and Android, with mixed course formats and mobile apps for both platforms.
