HOWSPACE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO MOODLE


What’s the difference between
Moodle and Howspace?

Moodle is a learning management platform

As an LMS, Moodle supports companies and educational institutions in delivering a variety of content-first learning and training programs.

This makes Moodle a great solution for organizations that need to quickly train individuals and maintain organizational standards through linear, compliance-driven programs.

Howspace is a collaborative
learning platform

Like Moodle, you can also deliver training and development programs through Howspace. However, Howspace goes beyond practical skills development that is usually delivered through a traditional LMS or LXP. 

Howspace blends the interactivity of social media with personalized learning journeys seamlessly embedded into participants’ daily workflows — ensuring engagement and real-world application. All within a secure, private space.

Howspace is a great fit for organizations such as

Corporate Companies

Consulting & Training Services

Associations & Trade Unions

Howspace’s AI has streamlined the process, giving us visually rich representations of word cloud-related data, while accurately capturing the themes and sentiments —  providing a powerful tool for organizational playback.”

Scott Rigler, Director

Optimé International

Makes learning more relevant and impactful

“If you run long on a session and you don’t get to it all, or something comes up that wasn’t planned, you can add that additional information into Howspace and deliver it to them in a moment after the session. We don’t have production times anymore, we’re not printing manuals and setting them up in advance. Howspace hasn’t just made our delivery simpler, but also way more effective because it allows for a lot of just-in-time learning.”

Allen Bessel, Senior Vice President of Client Experience
