Guides to running training on EmbayLMS

How active user billing is calculated, what SCORM support actually covers, and how to sell courses from your own storefront. Each guide answers one question end to end.

  • Does SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 matter for compliance training?

    Usually not. Both versions record completion, pass or fail and a score. Here is when SCORM 2004 is needed, and which versions EmbayLMS runs.

    Short answer:
    Usually not. Both versions record completion, pass or fail, and a score.
    When SCORM 2004 matters:
    Completion and passing reported separately, forced module order, or long saved progress.

  • How do you choose a compliance training LMS?

    Seven checks for choosing a compliance training LMS in Canada, to run on any vendor: records, recurrence, standards, residency, language and price.

    The test that decides it:
    Can a manager outside the training team produce one person's dated history, unaided, in a few minutes?
    Minimum record fields:
    Who, what, when, how completion was established, and who attests to it.

  • How much does an LMS cost in Canada?

    The pricing models LMS vendors use, what a 500-person company actually pays for, the costs outside the subscription, and how to compare quotes in CAD.

    The three common models:
    Per active user, per seat, and flat plan tiers.
    Active user, defined:
    An active user is someone who signs in at least once during your billing period.

  • What makes an LMS bilingual for Canadian workplaces?

    The three layers a bilingual LMS has to cover, why Canadian French beats a France French translation, and the questions to ask a vendor.

    The three layers:
    The learner interface, the course content, and the automated messages around them.
    The register:
    Canadian French, not a France French translation.

  • What counts as an active user in LMS pricing?

    What an active user is in LMS pricing, how the invoice is calculated, and what to check in a vendor's definition before comparing prices.

    Definition:
    An active user is someone who signs in at least once during your billing period.
    Counted per user:
    Once per billing period, no matter how many times they sign in.
