FAQ

LMS development FAQs

Answers to the questions L&D teams and universities ask us most.

Do you support SCORM and xAPI?
Yes — SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and xAPI (Tin Can) are supported as standard, along with cmi5 and LTI 1.3 when you need them. See the standards comparison above.
Should we build a custom LMS or use Moodle or an off-the-shelf product?
Off-the-shelf works when your needs are standard. A custom LMS makes sense when you need your own branding, workflows, integrations or a course business model that packaged tools handle poorly. We can also customise or migrate from Moodle and other platforms.
Can it integrate with our HRMS?
Yes — we integrate with Workday, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, custom HRMS and any system with an API. Read more about our LMS integrations and API integration services.
How many learners can it handle?
Architecture is scoped to your scale, from a few hundred learners to very large enterprise and university audiences. We load-test before launch and host on scalable cloud infrastructure.
Can learners use it on mobile?
Yes — every LMS is mobile-responsive, and we can build a native iOS and Android app with offline downloads. See mobile learning.
Can we sell courses through the LMS?
Yes. We build eLearning portals with storefronts, payments, subscriptions, coupons and instructor payouts.
Can you add AI features?
Yes — AI tutors that answer questions from your course content, automatic quiz generation, course summaries and personalised recommendations, built with our generative AI team.
How long does an LMS take to build?
It depends on scope. A focused first version can launch in a few months, with more features added in phases. We agree milestones up front and you see working software throughout.
Who owns the code and data?
You do. The source code, course content and learner data belong to you, and we can host on your own cloud account if you prefer.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes — admin training, documentation and ongoing maintenance and support plans covering updates, security patches and new features.
