Powerful LMS makes it easy and affordable to set up your own online training system.

No special IT skills required!

Ideal applications

Low cost ownership, no ongoing costs

Powerful LMS uses proven and reliable open source software.
That’s why it costs far less than proprietary products with fewer features.

For just $4,995 you can own your Powerful LMS system outright, royalty free, forever!

Your system will also be free of proprietary authoring tool constraints, so familiar programs like Word and PowerPoint can be freely used to create your content.

Straight answers to important questions

  • Is the technology complicated?

    The authoring component of Powerful LMS is simple for instructors, and using the online content is as simple as using a social media site for students.

    All courses are built on small chunks of content called lessons. Lessons can be developed by assistants to the instructor – or even through student contributions – and assembled into a course, reducing the effort to build courses of similar nature.

  • What will the take-up cost be?

    For just $4,995 the complete Powerful LMS software package can be yours, royalty free forever.

    Access to ongoing updates, support and training through our membership site is included for one year with each purchase.

  • Can it be branded/customised to suit my corporate image?

    Customising the branding/look and feel of your site is included in your one-off price.

    If your organisation has unique branding requirements, we can custom develop these for you. (This option is not available with cloud-based platforms, where every deployment must conform with what has already been developed.)

  • Will it work for my business?

    We offer a 30 day money back guarantee. If the product doesn’t meet your expectations or cannot fulfil a requirement for your business, simply let us know and we will gladly refund the complete purchase price.

  • Can content be viewed anywhere (iPads/iPhones)?

    While many LMS vendors claim to have the feature of ‘view content anywhere’ often this does not include iPhones and iPads, where a blank image appears!

    With Powerful LMS all your video content is rendered in HTML5 format. It will play universally on any browser, iPhone, iPad and Android device without any configuration or alteration.

  • How will I generate traffic and take-up?

    With the integrated newsletter system included in Powerful LMS attracting initial traffic once your site is set up is as easy as sending an email to your student list through the simple, user-friendly newsletter interface.

    Powerful LMS incorporates search engine optimisation capabilities that will attract visitors to your site from search traffic.

    Social media integration gives you added traffic when a student clicks on a Facebook ‘like’ button, promoting the content to others in his/her circle of friends about your courseware.

    There is also a built-in affiliate based remuneration capability to reward referrers who add to your sales with new paying customers.

  • Will it scale for high traffic?

    Drupal CMS, the foundation for Powerful LMS, has a proven track record for scaling to millions of users with video streaming and delivery.

    Lifetime Digital is comparable to Powerful LMS and has 6.5M visitors/month with over 50M page views/month and proven scalability: http://acquia.com/resources/library/drupal-case-study-lifetime-digital

    You can be sure that if your Powerful LMS platform grows from 1 to 6.5 million users, it can keep up with your needs!

  • Can it be integrated with my HRIS system?

    We can integrate with LDAP directories, Microsoft Active Directory or your HRIS system as a custom development project.

All the features you need – and more

  • Content comes together easily and is widely available to online users

    Creating a lesson can be as simple as uploading a PDF resource, audio file or video from your desktop or from the Powerful LMS file asset library.

    Lessons can be created by instructors or be delegated to helpers, or even selected student contributors.

    Assembling these lessons into chapters and a course can be easily linked to existing content on the site, enabling content to come together and be available online with a few clicks of the mouse.

  • Creation and use of content is extremely easy and user friendly

    An exceptional Powerful LMS feature is that it does not bind the user with any proprietary authoring tool, as other Learning Management Systems do.

    The authoring environment has been kept independent of the Powerful LMS system, which means that you can create course content in common authoring tools like Camtasia Video Record, PDF, Word, PowerPoint etc.

    Powerful LMS allows you to assemble various types of content authored in different environments and string them together into a single course.

  • Framework for monetising content and intellectual property already in place

    Many trainers and organisations have content that could be useful sitting on file shares or Microsoft SharePoint servers.

    When these digital resources are accessed on their own they may add limited value to a reader, but when they are assembled as a course with learning objectives they provide tremendous value, along with monetary benefits.

    Social media word-of-mouth acknowledgments on Facebook, Twitter etc. will add further value to the learning content you may already have.

    Powerful LMS handles the assembling of lessons into courses with ease, and selling content online has never been easier, with social media and an affiliate reward system built in .

  • Simple monitoring of how resources are being used and ability to follow up as needed

    The built-in reports section of Powerful LMS enables easy monitoring of how trainees/students are proceeding through your courses.

    There are four reports:

    1) Course enrolment report

    2) Recent access report of students’ activity at lesson/course level sorted by time

    3) Exception reports of enrolled students not having viewed course materials for some time

    4) Quiz result scores and progress.

    These reports provide the feedback required to follow up where necessary.

    You can even systemise the follow-up process by building follow up sequences in the auto responder and sending pre-composed emails to students when necessary.

  • SCORM content and content from other media types easily integrated

    Powerful LMS is primarily intended for organisations developing their own original content.

    Purchased SCORM content or content from other media types can however be integrated into Powerful LMS as a custom development project.

  • Intellectual property on the site protected – students cannot take content and push it online

    Access to course content is secured by login/password and access to each node is logged with details such as IP address, time, user name etc.

    Learners who do not have access to a course cannot access its contents.

    If you require added protection for PDF files or other media, we can integrate with any DRM platform of your choice.

  • Digital certificates issued electronically to trainees/students who have successfully completed courses

    Powerful LMS enables instructors to issue certificates to learners on course completion.

    The certificates are digital PDF files with the student’s name easily inserted.

How will Powerful LMS add value to your organisation?

  • Systemise your business and increase the skill base of your organisation using resources you already have

    Reduce the training time for new employees or increase the number of people who are able to perform a certain task by easily capturing the steps into video, audio or text.

    Share this training internally or externally so that your business can deliver products and services consistently, like McDonalds.

  • Increase revenue by delivering training online

    Powerful LMS offers businesses, educational institutions and training providers the ability to monetise their training and learning content with online courses that can be purchased online.

    Powerful LMS enables you to reach a global customer base with social media ‘likes’ and a built-in affiliate referrer tracking system.

  • Track knowledge and performance

    With Powerful LMS software you have the ability to drive and monitor action.

    When a learner joins a course they are automatically enrolled into corresponding auto responder sequences that will invite them to move at a planned pace, while giving you the tools to track visits of users to specific pages.

    Instructors do not have to worry about assessments while authoring the content. Once the course is created, Powerful LMS allows the instructor to add assessments at any level of the course.

    Instructors can also insert assessments for a lesson and monitor quiz results.

  • Enable collaboration among trainers and trainees/students

    In addition to delivering online training courses, Powerful LMS enables instructors and students in different locations to work in a virtual private environment, called a group.

    Popular social web features are combined in a framework that allows site administrators and community managers to maintain control and gain insightful data and analytics.

  • Enable content to be easily duplicated and reused

    Lessons created for a course can be composed of images, audio files, and video files that are part of a Powerful LMS image library of assets.

    A lesson can be easily duplicated and reused in another course, allowing you to meet the needs of various learning objectives with minimal effort.

  • Track progress of usage

    The reporting aspects of Powerful LMS are simple and easy to use. There are four sets of reports:

    1) Course enrolment report by students

    2) Recent access report of student’s activity at lesson/course level sorted by time

    3) Exception reports for enrolled students not having viewed course materials for some time

    4) Quiz result score and progress.

    Combined with the integrated auto responder, pre-planned notification requests can be setup to automate the process of re-engaging students whose attendance drops off or reward students who are progressing at a faster pace.

  • Increase the usage of users on the system

    Powerful LMS is designed to grow users automatically once your course content is set up, as all content is SEO friendly to attract traffic to your site.

    In addition, the integrated newsletter system makes uploading the initial student base easy, and incorporates automated follow up through the auto responder sequence.

    Facebook likes and social media bring in new visitors from social circles of students and the built-in affiliate system makes it simple to remunerate your promoters financially based on sales.

  • Customise branding and look and feel of the LMS

    Your low, one-off price includes customising your Powerful LMS site to reflect your corporate branding.

    If your organisation has unique branding requirements, we can custom develop these for you. (This option is not available with cloud-based platforms, where every deployment must conform to what has already been developed.)

  • Secure access to content

    Access to course content is secured by login/password and access to each node is logged with details such as IP address, time and user name that can be reviewed by an administrator.

  • Ongoing updates and support

    Purchase of Powerful LMS software includes one year of free updates, patches and new features as they are introduced.

    Our membership platform gives detailed instructions on how to install and use these features.
