LMS Tools and Igloo?
Good Afternoon Igloo Community,
Has anyone within the community had success with an LMS tool? If so, what tool would you recommend?
I have many queries about tools like this and wondered what people would recommend? Also, any integration vs launch off discussion too would be massively appreciated?
Thank you as always

Hi Will Hartland!
Ironically, I am having this conversation with a few customers right now and they are looking at Docebo & Absorb. Absorb is probably one of the largest LMS out there. I've worked with it in the past and it's a phenomenal platform if you are wanting a robust LMS that can do a little bit of everything. It also has a strong video focus and a strong embeddable element for hooking into other systems.
Docebo, I am not so familiar with but a customer currently has a subscription so we were looking at integrating. They have a way to embed, but it appears to be a little bit more involved.
Would love to hear from the group!
Hi Will Hartland and Tom Ryan - coming to the conversation a bit late here, but we use Lessonly here at Versapay and absolutely love it. I believe they say that creating a lesson is as "easy as writing an email" and while I don't necessarily find that to be the case, it is SUPER easy, the formatting is fantastic, and the opportunities for engaging, practicing, and sharing within the platform are top-notch.
Lessonly doesn't integrate with Igloo in any way, but they do a feature that allows you to map content or links to related URLs via a Chrome extension. So in our case we have a new employee space in Igloo, and when anyone visits that site they will see a popup notifying them about lessons in Lessonly related to onboarding. It's a great way to connect connect in the LMS to content in Igloo.
If you have some specific questions or goals in mind with an LMS I'd be happy to keep the conversation going here, or to hop on a call in the new year to discuss further.
Hi Katrina Potts!
Thank you for adding that in! I will have to check out Lessonly. Anything that lives on top and acts like an app cue is of great value. So many ways to naturally fit that into the workflows of users without having to lengthen pages.
Would you be able to share a screenshot of the onboarding area so folks can get a better sense of what you mean? Will Hartland
Tom Ryan Here's a quick video of the extension on a few pages on our site. The Lessonly window opened automatically on the first page since I had content mapped to that page. When I click into the Lessonly window I am able to actually take a lesson directly in Igloo.
You'll notice I had to click the Chrome extension on the New Joiners page because I had previously exited out of it. (Although Awesome Screenshot Recorder didn't show the Chrome extension, that's what I clicked on - guess I was only recording the tab.)
Katrina Potts - this is insanely beautiful! Thank you ever so much for sharing it!
Tom Ryan You bet! If you end up contacting Lessonly please feel free to let them know that I sent you; I'd love for them to know I'm out here singing their praises
Katrina Potts Thank you so much for sharing this. I know I will definitely be contacting Lessonly so i'll be sure to mention to them you are singing their praises.
This is extremely helpful!
