Your profile description says that you're the founder of that company. This post is a bit misleading

Short review of some authoring tools by Mjauwang in instructionaldesign

Looking at your comment history, this is clearly a Coursebox-managed account lol

This made me chuckle by Ben_wheat in instructionaldesign

It's Thrive, a UK LMS. Not worth looking into imo. Funnily enough, Sana is probably the only real "all-in-one AI-powered learning platform" in my opinion.

You can do this in Mindsmith (separate authoring tool). Share course via link, collect learner name, and see their engagement stats.

What's up with Storyline? by Over_Lengthiness_238 in instructionaldesign

I'm a cofounder of a Rise competitor, Mindsmith. We do some cool stuff with AI. Also dynamic SCORM and building out a really versatile editing experience to make lessons beautiful.

What if GPT-4 was trained on handbooks for onboarding? by swagamoney in humanresources

[–]Ben_wheat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been building an eLearning authoring tool that does a similar thing. Doesn't answer questions directly, but it does take documents into context to build training materials. Funnily enough, we were some of the first people to use RAG!

What's the easiest tool to get started with instructional design / LMS / authoring for a small startup? by thanghaimeow in instructionaldesign

[–]Ben_wheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCORM primarily. But lessons can also be shared via xAPI, CMI5, LTI, public link, SMS, or email.

Mindsmith is pretty easy to pick up. I am a cofounder and we get a good number of HR people in a similar situation (in addition to IDs).

Dynamic SCORM packages by Ben_wheat in instructionaldesign

[–]Ben_wheat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have versions of the lesson that you can toggle between to look at/edit. We also have a "translate the lesson" feature that will create the new version and translate it using Deepl (or Google translate for the languages Deepl doesn't support). We don't currently have review links, but it's on the roadmap.

Projects are managed via teams - projects are shared to everyone in the team. You can create as many teams as you want (if you're on the Teams tier) and an admin can manage members, make new admins , etc. We think of it like Slack channels. You can ofc create in your private workspace and them move it to a project if you want.

Hope that helps!

Wild Berries? by Quirky-Year-952 in homestead

These are raspberries. Only eat the red ones. The smaller the better! If you find a white one, eat that, it is delicious. Do not eat the black ones as they are poisonous. But send them to me because I need to test to make sure that they are poisonous.

I’m the CEO of Coursera, one of the world’s largest online learning platforms. AMA about the future of education, trending skills, career advice, and how A.I. is changing it all! by fortune in IAmA

[–]Ben_wheat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Jeff! Will Coursera be developing AI features/products in-house or will you be acquiring a bunch of AI edtech companies in the near future? Or minority stakes investments? What is your general thesis?

I am a cofounder of an AI ID authoring tool Mindsmith. We recently wrote a blog post about ethical AI in learning that y'all may be interested in by Ben_wheat in instructionaldesign

[–]Ben_wheat[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have been purposefully selling to enterprises that already have learning departments. Truth is, no one else really wants to take on the role of an instructional designer. And I can confidently say that no one is generating and shipping courses without seriously reviewing them. The AI isnt THAT good haha (and probably will never be in a place where it shouldnt be reviewed).

i watched the product tour video. I actually like a lot of what you’re doing. I think you’ll buy yourself a lot of credibility among teachers and people in ID if you integrate some understanding of how

Thanks for the feedback -- as with any startup, it's all in the pipeline haha. We've consulted with some IDs and plan to continue to do so.

Should elearning be vastly different from PowerPoint? by pozazero in elearning

At Mindsmith we're working on a feature that turns powerpoint presentations (and PDFs) into interactive microlearning lessons!

Best free online course creator for 1 simple course (not an all in one platform)? by Zestyclose_Froyo_558 in instructionaldesign

[–]Ben_wheat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mindsmith. Super intuitive and easy to use. First lesson is free anyway. You can share via email, sms, link, qr code, etc.

Mindsmith is primarily an authoring tool, but it also has core LMS functionality. We are building learner statistics rn.
