Totara Learn Reviews

Working with a partner it is very easy to customise so that it meets your business needs. There are lots of features that you can harness in creative ways to give an excellent learning expereince.

That they have broken up the product and that you now have to buy multiple ones to achive what was part of a single product in the past.

Providing access to online learning via self registraiton.

Communication with learner is open . Forums are very engaging tool. Plans are very useful as well as goals.

The custom language page , the hard coded notifications . No link between declare interest and attending already tbe events in the past .

Engaging learners, reaching remote areas . We can measure the KPIs and ROI

I enjoyed the fact that Totara is flexible to suit the needs we required. It was easy to navigate and create the reports we needed.

The search function was a little cumbersome. An upgrade to be able to find items easier would be a great improvement

Education. We are able to educate our people in an easy manner

The report builder is probably the best functionality of Totara. With another LMS, you could spend hours building different bespoke reports to give you and/or the managers above you the information they need. But with Totara Learn, you can schedule pre-built and custom reports to send automatically, saving you a huge amount of time and effort.

There are really a lot of benefits to Totara compared to other truly expensive LMS providers, so it's hard to pick out any disadvantages. If you buy Totara straight off-the-shelf, it needs a bit of magic to make it look pretty, but most Totara partners will brand it with you colours and logos as a basic level package and it makes the LMS look really attractive.

It has been particularly good at managing online and offline training all in one system - a vital resource that also saves a lot of admin time.

We love the Openness and the Freedom that Totara Learn offers. We are truly believers of the Open Source potential in the elearning sector even though many companies a decade ago were cautious about this technology because of the mistrust generated by unlicensed products. In this sense, since the beginning of our business we have trusted the Open Source Solutions, the User Communities that support them and the potential of collaboration to develop products that add value to the market.

We believe that OS Solutions give users freedom and therefore we believe in Open Source solutions not only from a technical point of view, but also ethical.

A good example of this commitment to Open Source Solutions is our Totara Learn partnership. Certainly, we have opted for an OS product because we believe in the potential of free and open source software.

Also, a crucial aspect of this technology is the possibility of great customization of the product at a reasonable cost.

On the other hand, in terms of functionality, Totara covers several functionalities that lack in Moodle, like HR Import, Hierarchies, Dynamic Audiences and Programs. These are added value to cover most of the Corporate Learning processes that Organizations demand and allow to automatise different workflows.

Nothing :)

Totara Learn is fully responsive but there's one thing that they don't offer yet and that's an official product for mobile devices. But do not panic: Totara confirmed that they'll work on a mobile app which will be released in the next few months.

Corporate Learning is requesting a demanding solution to accomplish their training goals. We help organizations to implement their Corporate Learning projects based in Totara Learn.

We offer solutions in two main levels: pedagogical and technological solutions. Thus, in some cases our job is to offer our expertise to implement the instructional design of courses according to the training and user needs. This part of the work is amazing when we act as a UX Consultants focused in the User Learning Experience. We love users who are happy enjoying their training.

On the other level, we develop plugins and Edtech solutions to cover different needs: integrations with other systems, new plugins, Web services to communicate data to other systems, etc. This part is also amazing because implies to understand clients and develop new tech solutions to cover thei needs.

At Xtractor we really appreciate the flexibility of Totara Learn. We've implemented Totara for a rich variety of purposes, with user bases ranging from less than 100 users to high above 50 000. Both we and our clients also like the flexibility in terms of starting up quick and small, and then being able to smoothly move on into a larger scope at a later stage. This is supported both by a rich and highly configurable feature set, as well as as the wide range of API:s and plugins available.

On a more detailed level, some specific features we love would be *dynamic audiences* - making it possible to pin point the right learning, content and features to the right users, *fully responsive and accessible UX" - works great on any device, *dashboards and reports* - supports the right information to the right person in a flexible and user friendly way. As a Totara partner, we actually also do like the *freedom* that our clients experience, their easy exit possibilities (to move to another partner or do it themselves) really keeps us at our toes. And, did I mention *flexibility*..?

As a new admin, the first look at Totara Learn's capabilities can be a bit frightening - it is a feature rich platform with lots of possibilities. The trick to solve this is to have a dialogue with an experienced person, such as one of our LMS-consultants, who can guide you through the overall possibilities and, more importantly, guide you into the areas that are most relevant for you. The standard look'n'feel of Totara 'out-of-the-box' could be a bit more inspiring, but that's something that can easily be fixed and adapted into your organisation's brand.

Look into it, try it out, get in touch..!

Our clients are solving various business problems every day - ranging from basic 'launch-and-track' of learning to sophisticated blended learning programs, compliance training and integrated solutions where Totara is tightly connected to systems such as CRM, ERP and HR-systems. For us as a partner, our collaboration with Totara has really opened our eyes for the many advantages of open source based learning, where we're now actively involved not only in Totara but also in learning tools such as Adapt and H5P.

I love it for it's flexibility and it's open source code. The standard options and extensive feature set has allowed me to meet most requirements

Once it's up and running, it's a breeze to use however in the beginning it can seem like a lot

Once you get through the set up and get used to it, it's amazing

It makes it easy to establish simple learning workflows

What do we like best about Totara Learn here at Team Chambury?

It's Flexibility; we can 'bend' Totara to meet our customer needs. Its open source and our developers can manipulate the code to make it truly reflect local needs.

It's Highly Configurable; there are so many configuration options we can make the LMS work exactly as our customers want stying within core functionality.

It's identity; the LMS can be made to look exactly like the customers website, reflect local branding and truly enable their staff to not raise they are in another system, This makes user engagement so much higher and easier.

It's Integration capabilities; linking to other internal systems providing single authentication from any device anywhere. Linking to HR systems to update user data and management hierarchies as often as required. We can also send data to external systems.

It's Online course building tools; you don't need fancy expensive authoring tools, Totara's core activity builder allows you to create interactive attractive content easily without any authoring experience. Yes you can upload or link to SCORM objects, but its not necessary.

It's Cost Effective; our customers don't like huge invoices that they would get with proprietary systems. It fits with public sector budgets.

It works on any device. Anywhere.

It's support. Even though it's open source there is a fully dedicated development team and technical support meaning that if, and I say if we get any issues, they are fixed, tested and released very quick. We get bug, security and new feature patches every month and a major upgrade every year - in 2018 we are getting two .!
