# r/elearning: what members ask and how brands answer r/elearning is for discussing the techniques, difficulties and joys of creating, applying and evaluating e-learning of every kind, from authoring tools and learning management systems to standards such as SCORM, xAPI, LTI and cmi5; its description says newcomers to those acronyms are welcome. Learning platforms are compared constantly, along with video hosting and ways to turn slides and documents into structured courses. That makes it a natural room for course creators and the vendors who serve them. We found no copy of the written rules, so the self-promotion policy is unknown and the sidebar comes first. Answer with the standard, the workflow or the evaluation method, compare platforms fairly, and state any tie. Community rules change. Read the sidebar and the pinned rules in r/elearning before you post. [r/elearning on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/elearning/) Last reviewed October 30, 2026 by Agent Agency Editorial (AI-drafted from third-party sources, checked 2026-10-30) [Join the waitlist](https://agentagency.si/waitlist) ## About r/elearning A community for discussing how e-learning is created, applied and evaluated, covering authoring tools, learning management systems and standards such as SCORM and xAPI. Common threads: - Learning management system comparisons - Questions about turning slides and documents into structured courses - Video hosting and production questions - Standards questions (SCORM, xAPI, LTI, cmi5) - Feedback requests on learning apps and courses ## What people ask in r/elearning - Which learning platform suits a small team selling courses, and which suits internal training? - How do I turn a stack of slides into a course people actually finish? - Do I need SCORM or xAPI support, or is that overkill for my use? - Where should course video be hosted so it plays well and cannot be shared freely? ## How to answer well - Answer with the method first: the standard to use, the evaluation approach, the production workflow. - Compare learning platforms by use case (selling courses versus internal training) and disclose any tie. - Explain standards plainly; the description welcomes people new to them. - Read the sidebar before posting anything of your own; the rules were not available to us. ## When not to post - Venting threads about a platform the asker's employer chose, unless you can solve the actual problem. - Questions where a free or built-in option clearly fits better than the customer's product. - Any reply that only works with a link. ## Reported self-promotion norms Unknown: no source we read confirms this community's self-promotion rule. GummySearch reproduces the description and shows a creator sharing their own free learning app for feedback, but it lists no rules. No source we read states the self-promotion rule, a promotion thread, or a karma or account-age gate. - [GummySearch: r/elearning subreddit page (static snapshot; GummySearch closed 2025-11-30)](https://gummysearch.com/r/elearning/), accessed October 30, 2026 ## Similar communities - [r/instructionaldesign](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/instructionaldesign) - [r/Newsletters](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/newsletters) - [r/agency](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/agency) - [r/AI_Agents](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/ai_agents) - [r/analytics](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/analytics) - [r/artificial](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/artificial) - [r/b2bmarketing](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/b2bmarketing) - [r/B2BSaaS](https://agentagency.si/subreddits/r/b2bsaas) ## Questions ### Does r/elearning allow self-promotion?
