The Shadow knows
The Internet Knows Everything Immediately.
For a couple weeks Quora has been hitting me with ads for TalentLMS, a full-service LMS somewhat similar to ScormCloud. Quora obviously knows that I'm a courseware developer, so the ad is well targeted.
I tried out the LMS, and found that it's remarkably easy to use and control, and also 'stiffer' than ScormCloud in terms of rejecting poor coding. It rejects the same thing that Canvas rejects, and it's vastly faster and more reliable to use. Canvas is just plain slippery. You can't tell where you are or what you need to do next. Feels like walking on ice.
I'm trying to reach compatibility with Canvas, which is hugely popular for unknown reasons. What I need is a Canvas-like test that's easy to use, so I can run repeated trial-and-error without mystery and frustration. TalentLMS fills the bill. I plunked down a significant amount of money for a yearly subscription to get more storage, more users, and more help. This will be my measuring standard now, instead of ScormCloud.
Immediately after the payment, the ads disappeared from Quora.
