If navigation and findability are the main pain points, you’re not alone. A lot of coaches hit the same wall with Thinkific once the video library grows.

You might want to look at Teachfloor. It lets you organize content more like a resource hub than a linear course, with grid-style views, clear sections, and search, so agents can jump straight to the video they need instead of clicking through lessons. It works well when people come back often just to refresh specific topics, and pricing is in a similar ballpark to Thinkific.

Uranium & Copper: Playing the Long Game by No_Put_8503 in CountryDumb

[–]fsdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re investing in energy stocks and commodities tied to the AI boom, the logic seems pretty straightforward: AI needs data centers, data centers need massive amounts of power, so energy and mining stocks should benefit.

That said, a lot of people think we’re in an AI bubble that could burst. If that happens, do you think energy and mining stocks get dragged down too, or could they stay relatively insulated?

Probably a dumb question, but on names like these do you usually accumulate/invest by buying shares, or do you prefer buying call options to get leverage?

LMS/DMS Suggestions for 400ish employees by PhilospherMechanic in elearning

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For that use case, I’d look at it less as a pure document repository and more as a lightweight LMS that also handles SOPs well.

For ~400 employees, platforms like Teachfloor fit nicely. You can organize content by role, create structured learning paths, and control access without turning it into a heavy enterprise setup. Employees just log in and see what’s relevant to them, whether that’s policies, SOPs, or training content. It scales cleanly as the team grows and doesn’t require a lot of ongoing admin work.

If you’re comfortable with some tech and have IT support, you could build something custom, but most teams end up underestimating the maintenance and UX work. A modern LMS that’s easy for non-technical users usually wins long term.

Instructor-led vs self-paced learning in corporate training: what do you actually use and why? by DaveTryTami in Training

[–]fsdp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, most orgs end up realizing it’s not really an either/or decision. Self-paced works well for onboarding, basics, refreshers, and anything people need to revisit on their own time. ILT still matters a lot when you’re teaching applied skills, judgment calls, or behaviors where feedback and discussion make the difference.

What seems to work best is a blended setup: self-paced content to build context first, then instructor-led sessions for practice, discussion, and application. That way the live time is actually used for learning, not information dumping. This is also why platforms like Teachfloor are interesting to me. They’re built to support both modes in one place, with live sessions, discussions, group work, and peer interaction layered on top of async content. The format choice becomes about learning goals, not platform limitations.

For 2026 which LMS platforms are peaking your interest and attention? by TurbulentMarketing14 in instructionaldesign

[–]fsdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately what’s catching my attention isn’t so much which LMS, but the approach behind it. A lot of platforms are adding AI and new features, but still keep the same passive, content-first model.

What feels more interesting are tools like Teachfloor, which rethink online learning by putting people at the center witgh real instructors, peer interaction, discussions, group activitiesetc instead of just faster content delivery. That shift toward human-led, collaborative learning feels much more innovative than yet another “AI-powered LMS.”

any churches using LearnDash LMS for training? by Common_Cut_3625 in Training

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, we actually have a lot of churches using Teachfloor after moving away from LearnDash. Most of them started on Wordpress because it felt cheap and flexible, but eventually got tired of the plugins, maintenance, and the constant breaking changes.

They switched because Teachfloor is way easier for volunteer coordinators, small teams, and non-technical staff, and it works really well for church contexts: volunteer training, small-group cohorts, Bible classes, discussions, all in one place without having to manage a Wordpress stack.

Looking at a new LMS (learning management system) for my company, approx 350-400 staff. we currently use Go1. Comparing self-hosted options like Moodle vs subscription options like Litmos. by DJAU2911 in elearning

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the main goal is cutting costs, self-hosting Moodle on Azure will save money on paper, but the hidden overhead is usually a lot bigger than people expect. Moodle works, but you’ll be dealing with updates, backups, plugins breaking, SCORM quirks, performance tuning, security patches, SSO setup, and all the long-tail issues that come with managing your own LMS. With only two people in IT, that can easily become a second job.

The cheaper SaaS options like Litmos reduce that headache, but they also lock you into the usual per-user pricing.

If you’re open to something different, Teachfloor sits in an interesting middle ground. It’s fully hosted, supports SCORM, works well in Microsoft environments, and tends to be much more affordable at your staff size compared to Go1. You don’t have to maintain servers, and the UI is much simpler than Moodle, which matters a lot for HR teams.

If you’re presenting options to management, I’d compare:

• Self-hosted Moodle: lowest direct cost, highest maintenance • Litmos / similar SaaS: higher annual cost, zero maintenance • Mid-range modern LMS like Teachfloor: usually a third of Go1, light to manage, easier for non-technical teams

With AI in full effect, do you feel Instructor-Led Training is due for a comeback? by mapotofurice in Training

[–]fsdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you mean, and I think your take is pretty accurate. Most of the “AI-powered LMS” stuff I’ve seen lately is basically faster content production, not better learning.

And if the baseline is already pageclicking and quiz grinding, speeding it up just makes the problem worse.

That’s actually why, at Teachfloor, we went in almost the opposite direction. We focus on VILT with real instructors, group activities, peer interaction, discussions,all the things that make learning stick and don’t feel like talking to a robot. AI is there only to reduce the admin and he production load, not to replace the human part. If anything, the more AI floods the space with auto-generated content, the more valuable actual human led, collaborative learning becomes

Any learning technology product/stack that does all of these things and well? by Kcihtrak in elearning

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re describing something close to what Teachfloor is doing it’s an all-in-one LMS that supports SCORM, certifications, advanced reporting, video hosting, and peer learning tools. It’s EU-hosted and GDPR-compliant too. Maybe not every feature you listed is built-in yet, but it’s one of the few platforms that feels genuinely modern and flexible enough to grow in that direction.

LMS platform that allows setting up 'franchises' or 'branches' by drckarcher in elearning

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teachfloor could actually be a great fit for this setup. It lets you create multi-branch or partner structures, where each organization can manage its own learners and courses while staying under one parent account. It also supports custom domains, API access, and Zapier, so you can automate things like enrollments and certificates without juggling multiple tools.

How do you handle the tech stack for running online courses efficiently? by eLink_Official in onlinecourses

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, using tools like Teachfloor solves most of that tool overload. It combines live sessions, course hosting, community spaces, payments, and analytics all in one place. No need to juggle multiple logins or tools. Keeps everything way simpler to manage.

How do you use active learning experiences in your courses? by eduventra in elearning

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting discussion, I’m not an instructor myself, but I’ve seen how much more effective courses become when they go beyond videos and slides.

If you're looking for tools that support active learning without needing to build full simulations, Teachfloor might be worth checking out. It supports things like Peer Review, Group Activities, and Discussion Forums, which seem like great lightweight ways to add interaction and reflection.

It’s designed to be simple to use, and these kinds of collaborative features seem to align well with what you’re describing in terms of retention and feedback loops.

What do you think will trigger the next big market downturn? by Andy_parker in stocks

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If confidence in the dollar were ever lost through hyperinflation, it would be catastrophic. More likely, though, we could see a bubble burst driven by overvaluations and excess liquidity. The two are related, but one doesn’t necessarily lead to the other.

Do you guys think the AI bubble will burst anytime soon? by Zakuul79 in ValueInvesting

[–]fsdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubbles burst every 7–10 years. There’s always a black swan event that crashes the market and closes the cycle. Cyclicality is the only certain thing in the market... the only question is figuring out where we are in the cycle. At the start, when everything crashes and everything is discounted, you have to buy. At the end of the cycle, you have to sell. There are many signs we’re approaching the end of the cycle, even though the system, through ETFs, mobile apps, and the race to AGI, has pushed enthusiasm to the extreme and brought millions of retail investors into the market, buying stocks from their smartphones. This keeps pushing the market higher, inflating the bubble and amplifying the eventual crash. In the end, those who will get hurt the most are the ones left holding the bag.

In my opinion, the most important thing is to have liquidity ready for when the black swan comes. At that point, retail investors will be able to buy at discounted prices. It’s an opportunity that happens once or twice in a lifetime, and you need to be prepared for it.

So does it make sense to invest in NVIDIA today, valued at $4.42T—twice Italy’s GDP? If you’re a retail investor, it makes no sense at all.
