6 Best Online Training Modules Software For Faster Learning

What counts as “online training modules” software today

Online training modules software now covers more than classic eLearning. Most tools fit in one of two big buckets: learning management systems (LMS) or training management systems (TMS). An LMS helps build, deliver, and track self‑paced, modular training on things like onboarding, compliance, or skills enablement. TMS platforms manage live sessions - scheduling instructors or webinars, registrations, communications, and certification - and increasingly offer self-paced module features too. 

For this list, I’m focusing on software that speeds up designing and delivering modular, self-paced learning online. Several of these options support live collaboration or blend both modes.

How we selected these 6 (speed, scale, outcomes)

I picked these 6 platforms based on their ability to:

- Build modules and courses quickly (with AI assist, templates, or built-in libraries)

- Measure outcomes with analytics (engagement, completions, quiz scores)

- Work on mobile as well as desktop

- Automate manual admin (assignments, reminders, certification)

- Localize at scale (multi-language support, workflow)

- Support SCORM or other standards

- Fit real budgets and user counts, not just feature wish-lists

I’ll also call out how each tool pairs with Colossyan, since video-led modules are now the norm for both engagement and speed.

Quick picks by best-fit

- Rapid enterprise authoring, localization: Articulate Rise

- Small/mid-teams, fast rollout, ready-made course library: TalentLMS

- Collaborative, social learning at scale: 360Learning

- Mobile, microlearning, frontline teams: SC Training (formerly EdApp)

- Unified LMS + live virtual classroom: BrainCert

- Simple certification for small cohorts: ProProfs Training Maker

The 6 best online training modules platforms

1. Articulate Rise

Articulate Rise is known for speed and scale. Its AI pulls static material and turns it into interactive courses in minutes. Themes, templates, and a built-in toolchain (creation, review, delivery, analytics) shrink production time. Built-in localization translates content into 80+ languages, and it’s set up for global enterprise use.

What’s missing? Custom interactivity means switching to Articulate Storyline (more complex). Translation isn’t “one-click, in-app” like some tools; the workflow’s strong, but there’s more manual work on big batches.

Pricing is enterprise-grade. Rise is widely used across Fortune 100 companies and supports roles from HR to IT. 

Customer stories report faster course launches and reduced new-hire ramp time.

how we use Colossyan with Rise: we convert docs or SOPs into video modules (using Doc2Video), then embed them in Rise blocks. Instant Translation lets me localize those videos fast, so even if Rise’s own workflow gets manual, I keep everything on brand and in sync. Videos export as SCORM, so completions/quiz results appear in Articulate’s reporting. When I add MCQs or branching scenarios in Colossyan videos, we track compliance right through Rise.

2. TalentLMS

TalentLMS balances speed, cost, and analytics for small to mid-sized teams. The AI course creator delivers a working course with quizzes in a few clicks. The built-in TalentLibrary includes 1,000+ short modules (~15 min each) so you’re not starting from zero. Automations save lots of admin time assigning or nudging learners.

Downsides: Free plans cap at 5 users; deeper analytics or integration require upgrades.

Pricing runs from ~$69/month and up for most real plans, but it’s popular - over 70,000 teams use it. In a key example, a TalentLMS customer cut turnover from 40% to 25%. 

68% of learners say training prepared them better for their job; about half think AI evolves faster than their training.

Pairing with Colossyan: I turn a policy or procedure doc into a Colossyan explainer, export as SCORM, and deliver it via TalentLMS automations. Quiz and engagement stats export back for reporting. The combined analytics help us spot gaps or update modules fast. For soft skills, I create role-play videos with avatars - great for TalentLMS’s assessment engine.

3. 360Learning

360Learning is designed for teams that want collaborative, social learning - think communities of practice, peer reviews, gamification, open forum Q&A, and easy course creation.

It excels at engagement, measuring time spent, quiz scores, and learner progress. The platform is pretty intuitive. However, if you want strictly top-down, compliance-heavy programs, it’s not always the best fit, and it can be pricier for small orgs.

Pricing starts around $8/user/month. Real users praise how it removes internal training bottlenecks.

With Colossyan, I embed SME-recorded AI-avatar lessons and run discussion threads under each module. We use branching videos for scenario practice (decision points), then pass those SCORM scores for tracking in 360Learning.

4. SC Training (formerly EdApp)

SC Training stands out for bite-sized, mobile-first modules. You get 1,000+ editable, pre-built courses, AI course creation, gamification, and push notifications - all tuned for frontline teams and field use.

Customization is somewhat limited, and the platform isn’t SCORM-centric, so distribution may need workarounds if you rely on standards compliance.

Free for up to 10 users. Paid plans from ~$5/user/month.

It’s popular for sales, product refreshers, and compliance. 

Our Colossyan workflow: I import a PPT (e.g., a sales deck), convert to vertical video, and optimize for SC Training’s mobile UX. Pronunciations let me handle product names correctly in every language. Plus, Brand Kits keep everything visually coherent for international teams.

5. BrainCert

BrainCert is a unified platform - think LMS plus a live virtual classroom with breakout rooms, HD video, polls, gamification, and built-in Zoom/Zapier integration. It supports both self-paced and live/blended programs.

UI can feel busy, and some advanced features (like e-commerce) are more than internal L&D usually needs.

Free for 10 learners; paid starts at ~$36/month.

Great for running both microlearning and scheduled virtual training.

With Colossyan, we send out prework videos before a live session, monitor analytics, then use BrainCert’s tools for hands-on workshops. Gaps are easy to spot with data before you even book live training.

6. ProProfs Training Maker

ProProfs is the low-barrier, entry-level choice for simple needs - rapid course builds, basic quizzes, and printable certificates. Free for up to 10 learners; paid plans from $1.99 per active learner/month.

It’s ideal for small teams and quick pilots, especially when you need to test out a training ROI before a larger rollout. Just know advanced analytics and integrations are pretty limited on free plans.

Colossyan plus ProProfs - my combo: I take a set of written instructions, turn them into short AI-avatar videos with embedded questions, then push to ProProfs as SCORM packages for tracking. I use Instant Translation when running the same course in a second language.

Program design patterns that speed up learning

Bite-sized modules are a baseline now. In TalentLMS, most content clocks in at around 15 minutes - this helps with retention and completion. I almost never import a long PDF as one chunk; instead, I use Colossyan to split and turn sections into separate video chapters.

Remote staff get 20% less feedback than in-person peers. Modules should bake in quick recaps, MCQs, and feedback loops. I use Colossyan’s branching or quiz interaction, then reinforce learning with a follow-up in the LMS forum or a live session.

Blending is often best. Prework video, then live practice (in BrainCert or Zoom), async recaps, then assessment. Gamification can help - badges, leaderboards, and interactive video cues keep people moving.

Soft skills need more than slides. Scenario-based video with side-view avatars makes a real difference for communication and real-world decision-making.

Standards and interoperability (scorm, xAPI, cmi5)

SCORM is still the lingua franca of course packaging - completion, quiz scores, tracking. xAPI (Tin Can) logs more granular activity data - how, when, and where people interact with learning - across platforms. cmi5 is a newer format trying to combine the best of both.

Some platforms, like Coggno, make SCORM export and HTML5 content the core. Others, like EdApp, are not SCORM-native; that’s a consideration for compliance-heavy orgs.

At Colossyan, I export SCORM 1.2 or 2004 files directly from videos. Interactive questions and branching record pass/fail stats in the LMS. Instant Translation means I can build out multi-language courses quickly - useful if your LMS doesn’t handle translation internally.

Implementation checklist and pilot plan

- Start with a pilot. Free tiers often cap user counts (usually 5–10). Use that to run a baseline ROI, see what you need.

- Lock down your non-negotiables - security, SCORM/xAPI, SSO, data residence, core integrations.

- Map your delivery approach: self-paced LMS vs. blended/live TMS.

- Appoint content owners and set a refresh cadence with clear metrics (completion, quiz scores, time-to-ramp).

- Use Colossyan to speed up content production - convert docs to video, apply your Brand Kit, and handle pronunciation and localization without re-recording everything.

How Colossyan helps every step

We take the friction out of video-led training - turning PDFs or decks into interactive videos with Doc2Video or Prompt2Video. Templates and Brand Kits mean you don’t start from scratch and always stay on brand. AI avatars and conversation mode let you create realistic scenarios and practice modules for both soft and technical skills. Instant Translation plus centralized pronunciations means I don’t have to cut corners on global rollout.

We built analytics right into every video - watch time, plays, quiz scores - so you spot drop-off and plan updates. And with SCORM exports, our videos fit almost any LMS, feeding completed data back for compliance or learning records.

For any L&D team wanting measurable, on-brand training that gets done in days, not months, Colossyan makes a difference - and works seamlessly with all the platforms above.
