Path LMS Software

Pros

Ease of use for content developers and end-users

Cons

Sharable Content Object Reference Model integration is expensive

We are no longer manually managing our on-demand products. We save staff time and enhance the member experience as they no longer wait for us to manually report and create certificates for CEUs. We would need another part or full time staff person to do what Blue Sky does for us intuitively and automatically.

Pros

I love how user-friendly path is for our members and for myself, the admin. Our membership isn’t exactly at the forefront of technology changes, but Path is so intuitive so there is very little tech-support TLTA’s team needs to provide to members using it

Cons

Really no cons to report. We would love more ability to customize reports, but that is coming down the road and they are always changing/developing and enhancing to support their clients.

Make my elearning experience better. Significantly better. Other LMS just don't get it right.

Pros

UX is very important to me when talking about a LMS, and Path has all it take to bring a wonderful user experience to students, teacher and admins alike. It's easy to use, intuitive, beautiful, has the tools you need (no matter the role you have).

Cons

hard to think about a con. But maybe it is so easy to use that would give you too much free time. If you have the budget, give it a try.

Pros

I love how customizable and user-friendly it is. The interface is pretty intuitive to both myself as the administrator and our customers also.

Cons

Really no complaints so far - looking forward to building ours out a bit more, as it is pretty limited at the moment, but so far so good.

I reviewed several LMS products before choosing BlueSky Path. This was the best that allows for seamless integration from our website (where course registration takes place) to Path (where the content resides) This makes a truly self-service process for our members to complete the course content and then generate their certificate of attendance, saving both time for our members and our staff.

Cons

Really very few. The automatic integration with our AMS system sometimes leads to a few problems but other than that, the software serves our needs very well.

Pros

Entering information onto Blue Sky is a simple process. It is user friendly and easy to navigate.

Cons

It is limited with the number of toggles tied to one account. There are certain sessions that I must manually switch over as opposed to simply "flicking a toggle".

Pros

We have used BlueSky and Path for webinars and other CE programs . The staff is always responsive and I enjoy the ability to self-pull reports.

Cons

A few of the reports have to be emailed so at times it's annoying to wait for the file to arrive via email rather than direct download from the site.

Pros

BlueSky eLearn's Path LMS has a clean, intuitive interface flexible enough for your association to offer eLearning programs of various complexities, while offering your members a quality experience on all their devices so they're able to learn what they need to know when they need to know it.

I have implemented this LMS twice now, and have had a consistently positive experience with the BlueSky team each time. They help their clients think through innovative solutions to challenges, listen to their client's needs and release new features regularly, and are patient when it comes to trouble-shooting!

Cons

The only limitations I've encountered have been related to the association's AMS (Association Management Software) not being able to take full advantage of the open API integration BlueSky has to offer!

It is still new - but it will assist our members in obtaining their training needed.

Pros

The ease of use! I was able to tailor the icons to fit the look of our website. Another great feature is allowing certificates and surveys when the course is completed! My most favorite is the ease of use for our members since the program is integrated with our website!

Cons

The integration with only a selected view webinar programs - however...this issue is being resolved and integration with other programs has begun!

For years we struggled with having an effective means of hosting our interactive content. We are very excited about our new Path site, which is sure to be a delight for our members to use.

Pros

Very straightforward and easy to use, and the support staff is wonderful.

Cons

We don't have any complaints.

I have never done a webinar and Path put a lot of my anxiety to rest. The system was easy to use and support staff could not have been kinder.

Pros

It is easy to understand.

The appearance, functionality and ease of use (for our end users) of our org's education portal has improved significantly since implementing the new Path LMS system.

Pros

Modern look and functionality

Cons

None that I know of

Advice to Others

Speaking as a marketer, launching our re-designed education portal was very easy. We've increased traffic and interest in our online archives now that they're easy to find.

We migrated our Education Portal to Blue Sky Path LMS about a year ago and it has been an easy, trouble free transition. Blue Sky Support is very responsive to our questions and training on the system was easy as the system is quite intuitive and Blue Sky staff are friendly and accessible. It has increased our time to post recordings to same day availability which our webinar attendees love. What used to be a listing of webinars is now a graphically pleasing, searchable catalog of educational offerings. The system accommodates our complicated requirements that include member/non-member pricing, licensing terms of agreement, and coupon codes to regulate free access to recordings for people who attended live presentations. It's versatile, reliable and easy to use. Blue Sky listens to their customers and innovates based on feedback. We are completely satisfied.

Pros

Ease of use, ecommerce solutions, statistics on usage, search feature, accessible on any device, generates certificates of completion, tracks user activity, allows customized branding.

Cons

Would like a few more user reports.

My company switched over to PathLMS a few months back. It was a bit of a bumpy transition, but the customer service team was there to answer my questions quickly and help us with any problems we encountered. The system is insanely easy to use and customize. My entire team has no issues with diving right into the CMS system to add and update existing courses. The best part is that the improvements and new features keep coming. I always look forward to their email updates to see what new features are available for me to use.

Pros

Super easy to use, amazing support staff, clean design, lots of customization, new features keep coming with every release

Cons

There are some features I wish were available. I've inquired about them and am told they will be made available eventually.
The customization of the course page is limited, but I believe they will be making improvements in the future to make this better.

Our online webinar system has been great for us to use on the admin side as well as for our participants to use. Customer service is very helpful and accessible.

Pros

That the admin can go in and make changes and run reports without having to go through a project manager all the time but if you need the assistance of a PM they are ready and available to help. Also, the live webinar support is great and reports are very useful.

Cons

I really haven't come across any complaints yet. I have nothing but good things to say about the software and support.

I was not familiar with LMS systems at all when I was charged with finding a suitable system and providing the content. BlueSky made the entire process easy to understand from start to finish!

The customer service is OUTSTANDING! Even when I ask the same questions sometimes!

This was not something we offered in the past and our membership is thrilled at the ease of use and layout.

As an administrator, the system is very user friendly.

I would highly recommend BlueSky!

Over the past couple of years we have had a great experience with the software and the staff is wonderful to work with. Issues are rear but when they do arise staff are quick to resolve them and are always coming up with creative solutions and alternatives on how to improve.

We have been using Path LMS for about a year now, and we are completely satisfied with everything about the system. They delivered what they promised, and didn't oversell. We used the software for our national certification, and our members found the navigation a little confusing at first, but once they did a lesson or two, they could navigate like pros. We RARELY had an issue or question, but when we did the customer service was fast, knowledgeable, and friendly.

After the big certification launch, we also used the LMS for a course that we usually present face-to-face. The leap of faith going from "in person" to "virtual" paid off--the members loved the convenience of on-demand content, and now the course is there and evergreen!

We have paid for this system already just by the certification and course registrations, so the ROI makes our board happy, and our members love the user-friendly, easy-to-use courses. Win-Win-Win-Win!

We have used BlueSky eLEARN since January 2016 and we only have positive things to say about the product and the customer service is OUTSTANDING. Our users have thanked us for switching to such an intuitive product, our calls for assistance have dropped to almost nothing and if someone does need help, the response is quick and professional.

As an administrator, the system is easy to use, the staff will design the product to deliver exactly what you want and the quality of the product is superb. By switching to BlueSky we have cut our cost for eLearning in half.

I have been using Path LMS for our CME and CE webinars. The software is easy to use, and customer service has been great - they address all questions/issues quickly.
