Almost 5 years ago, a friend of a friend at a major university asked me about their clunky, slow Moodle LMS with unexpected errors. They were spending too much time coming up with workarounds for system errors, rather than growing their program. I looked for solutions. What I found: bulk hosting sites with poor user experience and shoddy performance, or agencies with one-size-fits-all solutions and steep price tags. Gap identified. Small and mid-range higher education centers needed eLearning and LMS expertise they could actually afford. Kershner Educational Development Group was born. Our first project migrated existing courses from the problem installation, stripped out error-prone plugins, and set up a clean Moodle installation. We manage the system end-to-end, but the client owns the content. Years later, the system is trouble free and the instructors can focus on teaching, not troubleshooting. Since then: more Moodle installations, eLearning and curriculum development in higher education and international humanitarian aid sectors, and website accessibility updates. As a boutique consultancy built around asynchronous collaboration, we've grown our team as projects demand. But one thing remains constant: we're all professionals embedded in eLearning and media development, offering expertise where high-quality custom solutions enable effective learning. #Moodle #EducationalTechnology #eLearning #HigherEducation #instructionaldesign #eLearning #edtech

🎓 Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with different platforms for managing university courses and collaborating with students. Out of all of them, Moodle has stood out to me as the most advanced. Yes, I’ll admit — it’s not always easy. Moodle comes with a learning curve, and there are countless tips and tricks you pick up along the way. But that’s also what makes it powerful: once you learn how to use it, you can create highly customized, interactive, and collaborative learning experiences. 💡 A few reasons I value Moodle: It’s open-source, which means flexibility and constant innovation from a global community It supports deep customization — you can adapt it to fit diverse learning needs It’s built for collaboration and goes beyond just content delivery For educators and institutions, the investment in learning Moodle pays off in creating engaging digital classrooms that truly empower students. 👉 Curious to hear: what’s your favorite LMS platform, and why?

🚀 Exciting to see partners already putting ArborXR Insights into action. Virtual Life Support just completed a proof of concept connecting their XR training app to ArborXR Insights — and through Insights, directly into Moodle LMS. This is what seamless integration looks like: ✅ Launch training from your LMS ✅ Capture learner results automatically ✅ Sync performance data back without manual steps It’s a great example of how Insights bridges XR training and enterprise learning systems, making it easy for developers and organizations to connect the dots from training to results. 🤝 Huge thanks to the Virtual Life Support team for collaborating with us to bring this to life.
𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐗𝐑 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞! We’re excited to share that we’ve completed a Proof of Concept connecting Virtual Life Support to ArborXR Insights, and through Insights, to Moodle LMS. Apps integrated with ArborXR Insights can connect to 500+ Learning Management Systems, and even the direct Insights connection already brings huge value: organizations using Virtual Life Support will gain powerful analytics and usage insights. Once connected to Insights, the app can seamlessly integrate with any LMS that supports one of the standard interfaces built into Insights. In our PoC and shown in the video: ✅ The training is launched from Moodle, generating a unique code for the user. ✅ The user starts the Virtual Life Support app from ArborX and enters this code in the headset to log in. ✅ After completing the training, the results and score are automatically sent back to Moodle. We have worked closely with Bradley Mortensen and the amazing team at ArborXR to make this happen — and to our pleasant surprise, we got it up and running within just a few hours. After a bit of fine-tuning, it now works smoothly end to end. We’re thrilled with the result and plan to bring this capability to market in due time. #VirtualLifeSupport #ImmersiveLearning #CPRTraining #LMS #XR
