A Teachers Dream Platform

Okay, all disclaimers out in the open first. I own probably at least 1 tier/code of every Appsumo LMS that has dropped in the last 2.5 years. I will not go into the names because I do not want to take away from this post. While like all the others BrainCert is not without fault in a few areas. Saas-Master nailed it with the tight offering but I did not want to ding or punish them for trying to stay in business. I would never take a taco away from being extra careful of a variable cost. Now as an owner of BrainCert in the past I can say this is a pretty tight deal. When I look at my deal compared to this deal, yeah, it's a pretty lean deal. It does not have to be if deployed correctly. First of all they provide something that does not require an additional cost and that is hosing live teaching sessions mixed in with recorded sessions. This is a Teacher's dream because if you think about it you can raise the actual cost of your recorded sessions just by offering a live session every now and then. Again, this is a teachers dream.

All teachers, not some, but all teachers love to teach live, because they love to teach. (this is not to disrespect the new online e-teachers or course builders, but more of the spirit of traditional teaching in a major university or public school) This is the only tool that gives you the hybrid ability as mentioned above. The true value is having the ability to do either live or recorded. It also allow you to offer secure, live, or automated remote test proctoring along with gamifications, test assessments for professional certifications. It allows you to break your live learning sessions into groups and or separate learning cohorts or rooms. Another teachers dream. Also in defense of the tight pricing is probably the fact that they realized some of the costs associated with their prior LTD offerings were higher than they expected. I have a large number of minutes and a few other items in my prior LTD but I do not have some of the newer offerings here so both my prior plan and this plan are a little different. As a person that really loves to teach I have found this tool to be the best of both worlds. Instead of taking people to a zoom or sessions as a result of having someone just sign up, I can just keep them in the same platform within BrainCert and conduct the class. I could also opt out of using BrainCert and teach the live class in Sessions or Zoom or even Go Brunch for that matter. This is perfect and gives you range. Did a short video on how you can use either of the tools I mentioned here on my youtube channel along with a walkthrough.

If you use Sessions, GoBrunch, or Zoom then it becomes unlimited live sessions. To list a course in your catalogue using Sessions or Zoom on your backend is A Teachers Dream. All this tool really needs is an open API or a way to get to pabbly connect or Albato.

+PROS
+ They give you everything you need to be successful
+ The ability to sell an accompanying ebook
+ Can do SCORM uploads (sneaky feature)
+ Can do Live or Recorded
+ Can do SMTP for the mail
+ Can do Single Sign On
+ Can do CAPTCHA
+ Has Gamification
+ Can use own email system (SMTP) or use theirs.
+ Can have teachers, teach underneath you.
+ Can Stress test your connection prior to going live

- CONS
- Deal is a little tight on offerings
- Is not truly white labled maybe 75-80%
- Not a true CRM (can export and use Zapier) Yuck!
- No API or way to get contacts into a true CRM like VBOUT, ENCHARGE, etc. (you can probably get around this with a double-opt-in email that you can customize and trigger with a sequence from a larger CRM)
