Managing a learning program shouldn’t require 10 different tools
Many organizations manage learning programs across disconnected systems:
-
Spreadsheets for participants
-
Email for communication
-
LMS for learning activities
-
Google drive for documents
-
Zoom or Teams for video and events
-
Slack, Discord or WhatsApp for discussions
-
Google slides for ePortfolios
-
Credly for certificates and badges
The result is administrative overhead, fragmented learner experiences, and limited visibility into participation and engagement.
Linkr brings all these pieces together into one connected environment designed specifically for modern learning programs and communities.
"Linkr has become an indispensable platform for extending learning beyond the classroom, connecting students with their peers across the globe, as well as industry and community partners. Linkr has helped us to enhance our experiential and multidisciplinary learning while streamlining our processes."
