Has anyone used Confluence as an LMS
Asked by Michael Veramo:

Does anyone have any comments on using Confluence as an LMS?

Seems it can host content just fine across lots of branches. I haven't tried the mobile client.

There is an add on for tests and we should be able to build macros for additional functionality.

Thoughts?

Import pages from confluence  
Create Quizzes with predefined answers  
Centralized one stop shop Training catalog

LMS = Least Mean Square to my mind (which it doesn't work for, because it's not a calculator), although realising you don't mean that lead me to Library Management System, Last Man Standing and so-on.

Could you explain roughly what you're looking for here? The answer is "probably", but it would be helpful to give us an explanation including what you mean by branches and what you want from "additional functionality". (On mobile, Confluence is not great, but Atlassian are working on it)

author: Michael Veramo
body: Sorry, Learning Management System.

There is an entire market for Content and Learning Management Systems that include the capabilities to author, present, assess and track learning content and learners.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I've seen a lot of places use it for training and learning, but it tends to be used as part of a set of tools. It's great for content, but there's no tracking of learning or course completion - that tends to be done in other systems (often JIRA because of the tight integration possible between the two)

I've not tried the testing add-ons, but as similar ones such as surveys and forums work quite well, I can see how a testing add-on might be of great use.

You can create educational tests and training courses using the [izi - LMS for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214110/izi-for-confluence-lms-training-courses-quizzes?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=quizzes-traffic-sources&utm_content=Has+anyone+used+Confluence+as+an+LMS) add-on. It allows you to make educational tests and courses for employee and customer education right in Confluence.

Kind regards,

Is there any way to see the tracking and metrics of all the participants in all courses at the same time?

Thank you in advance

body: Hi Pilar,

The app doesn't have such an overview yet. But we have this request in our internal backlog. I added your vote there. I can let you know when we implement this.

Kind regards,

Katerina


author: Kevin Daniels
body: Hi Pilar, I suggest you have a look at [LearnUp](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216979/learnup-for-confluence-lms?hosting=server&tab=overview), the Metrics module is quite complete and might address your need.

Cheers

Kev
