LMS for classic e-learning and for creating didactical content can sometimes be terrible contraptions: Their operation is complex, their implementation often takes far too long, and then they also keep learners from learning. We want to do something about that. That's why we made blink.it so simple and efficient that it saves your time, your budget, and even your nerves.

First of all: Congratulations on reading this article! That proves: You mean well with your fellow humans and have ambitious goals because: You want to further educate people and advance their personal and professional development – at the same time, you are considering doing this in an 'organized form' and with the help of software. We celebrate you for that and want to give you guidance so that you can make an informed LMS decision that suits your needs.

The E-Learning Struggle of Choosing an LMS…

Right off the bat: Take a close look at what you want to achieve with your LMS – as in pretty much all areas, there are no one-size-fits-all solutions in e-learning either. Every company, every project is individual. And yes, it may well be that you can achieve your goals better with another tool. That's why you should test it out, get advice, and check precisely whether the system you are looking at fits you and your needs. Just like with a doctor, a second or third opinion is worth it. There are over 900 LMS out there – in the following, we want to introduce ours to you. If you see a fit, you can directly schedule an appointment here:

When is blink.it a fit for you?

1. You want to quickly and easily create your own employee or customer training

2. You value user orientation and sleek design

3. You want an LMS with an integrated authoring tool

4. You want to implement true blended learning

5. You want to supplement your existing LMS with a tool optimized for content creation

6. You want to represent mandatory training in a modern and sustainable way

When is blink.it not really a fit for you?

1. You are looking for a pure course library (e.g., LinkedIn Learning or Udemy)

2. You want a generalist tool in the direction of Learning Eco System

3. You want to work a lot with gamification

4. You want a community tool

The mentioned points represent the current state of our software – this certainly does not mean that nothing can change in the future. :-)

Here are some questions you should definitely ask yourself – regardless of whether you want to use blink.it or another LMS:

1. When is the launch planned?

2. What budget do you have available?

3. What criteria are crucial for selection?

We have found that the introduction of LMS, especially of large systems, is often underestimated in terms of time, effort, and costs. This especially applies to IT and legal issues, which may require costly external support and may not only exceed but downright pulverize the time and cost framework in many places. Many an LMS project has therefore already failed before it actually started – and your initially mentioned noble goals are gone.

If it’s not fun, it’s a waste!

Knowing about these challenges, our approach since 2015 has been: We want both learning and creating, setting up, and administering learning content via blink.it to work as easily as possible. Precisely BECAUSE we know that you actually have a thousand other things to do in your field, by which you and the success of your company should also be measured, perhaps even preferably.

Battle ship or jet ski?

What is especially important besides the points mentioned: In the end, the people you want to train and further develop must actually use the LMS (and preferably do so gladly!) And when in doubt, people tend to prefer things they understand and that are easy to use.

Ideally, they actually don’t need any training for that because things that are perceived as simple usually derive from the familiar. And of course, the more complex your requirement is and the more your LMS should be able to do, the more training needs (and costs) you will ultimately have. That’s why we recommend asking yourself whether you really need 'the big battleship' or actually want a fast jet ski that brings you nimbly and with little effort to the same goal. :-)

Why blink.it?

As mentioned at the beginning: There are many outstanding LMS, and it may well be that you find another tool that fits your needs even better. But you are here, so we would like to list a few points that, if they apply to you, are a good indicator that we should at least have a conversation:

1. You are looking for an LMS that allows you to create content quickly and easily
2. You are looking for an LMS that has a lot of features, but only as many as you really need
3. You are looking for an LMS that you can work with quickly and easily
4. You are looking for an LMS that places user experience in the foreground
5. You are looking for an LMS with which you can start directly without IT headaches

How to Make Learning Easy for Your Learners

Focus on User Experience
blink.it has always been optimized to cost you as little time as possible and make learning easy for your learners. Simplicity, in our case, by the way, does not mean reduced functionality – on the contrary: You can do a whole lot of very deep things with blink.it; the good thing is: You can, but you don't have to! Simplicity particularly refers to ease of use and a pleasant, user-oriented user experience. We don’t overwhelm you with options and windows, but we only give you what you need in that moment. That’s why the user interface of blink.it has always been deliberately clean and always kept with responsiveness in mind.

Just log in and get started
To use blink.it, you don’t need IT know-how. You need a login and internet access. With this setup, you can easily start in the browser, create your first content, invite users, manage them, and monitor progress. You can set up your training and courses as you see fit for your target audience.

Reduced Complexity for Sustainable Learning

With your own branding, multimedia content, and automated reminders that inform your learners that new content has been uploaded or that they should refresh their knowledge after a certain period. We pay attention to aesthetics and want to offer you and your users the best possible learning experience. This is also part of simplicity because the more complex a system is structured, the higher the likelihood of diminishing the learning experience.

Ideal for Blended Learning

Of course, you can also use blink.it in a blended learning approach, especially here it unfolds its strengths through delayed content releases and is therefore also suitable for the transition from online to face-to-face events. This mechanism of delayed content release is not easily implementable with many other systems.

We hope we were able to provide you with some arguments in this article on why blink.it (from our perspective) is the simplest LMS for your e-learning. And perhaps we could support you a little in choosing the right LMS for you. We wish you much success on your journey!
