We believe that the only way to unlock a brighter tomorrow is to think big today. Undoubtedly, the world and society of the future will be shaped by those brave enough to speak up, take action, and even challenge the status quo.
On a global scale, we can’t turn a blind eye to the war in Ukraine that has caused immense suffering and destruction, causing severe economic hardship and leading to a humanitarian crisis. In LearnWorlds, we have team members who are suffering from the terrible crisis in Ukraine. Our minds and hearts are always with them and their families.
It is not enough to simply be content with the present; instead, we must strive for progress and growth. This means embracing change and exploring new ideas, learning from our mistakes and failures, and investing in future innovations that can help create a better tomorrow. We must also remember that progress often comes with challenges and difficult decisions – but these hurdles can be overcome if we look beyond our own limitations and strive for something greater.
The catalyst for progress and growth is learning, and LearnWorlds is the best-suited platform to help you achieve this. Our mission is to serve trainers and learners as their leading technology partner to improve, expand, and impact training.
That is what we did in 2022, and that is what we will continue to do in 2023. with even greater intensity.
2022 was a momentous one for LearnWorlds, with significant growth in our business and an array of new features and improved learning experiences.
We hosted numerous exciting webinars, workshops, coachingย and customer education events to help people learn from the best. Our customers also gave us glowing reviews on review sites that earned us badges of recognition. Furthermore, we grew our social media communities even more.
Additionally, we celebrated our team members’ hard work and dedication at the LearnWorlds 2022 retreat while offering new career opportunities for those interested in joining us.

New and Upgraded LearnWorlds Features: Get Ready to Transform Your Online Learning Experience!
We saw LearnWorlds customers fueling business growth like never before. See how far we’ve come.
Weโre proud of what our customers achieved in 2022 with their academies built with LearnWorlds:
Each quarter in 2022, a record number of new learners were added and new digital products were created!
Together with our customers, we are committed to continuously improving our platform capabilities with one thing in mind: โGetting better every single day.โ This is not only our motto but also our #1 priority throughout the year.
We’ve listed below the new features and product updates released in 2022 that most of our customers have been looking forward to.
๐ฏ Transform your digital products
Content is the core of your academy.
The most complete Assessment Builder
Evaluating learners’ knowledge has become even more flexible with our powerful Assessment Builder. Sixteen question types have been added, ready-made assessments have been introduced, including the ability for your learners to do self-evaluations. Want to know more? Hereโs whatโs new in a nutshell:
One-to-one and group sessions
We introduced one-to-one and group sessions to improve communication with your learners and enhance the entire learning experience. As a feature, it is particularly valuable for coaches who rely heavily on live and on-demand sessions to carry out their practice and daily tasks; however, it is not limited to them.
One-to-one and group sessions allow learners to schedule a session with you as the admin or any course instructor in your academy based on their availability and the clientโs demand, using Calendly.
Learning Activities Course Completion & Navigation Rules
Here, at LearnWorlds, we support your training programs with 20+ eLearning content types. You can choose the learning activity which delivers your content in the best way. You can now easily customize completion rules for each learning unit of your course and be confident that your audience understands the value of your course. Your learners can, for example, be required to watch a certain percentage of videos or read a certain percentage of eBooks before continuing their learning.

๐จ Embrace design that converts
Turn visitors into learners.
Site Templates | Professional-looking and Industry-specific
We know that each academy is unique, and the goals of every course creator are different. As a way to showcase this better, we have introduced 50+ new site templates that you can access from the Site Builder to help you build your beautiful and professional academy website just as easily and quickly without using any code.
From Art & Design to Coaching and Customer education, we donโt stop here: more than 50 beautiful, ready-to-go fresh designs are waiting for you to level up your academy.
Parallax Scrolling
If you want to make your website more engaging, then you need Parallax Scrolling. This impressive feature addition is here to help you present your brand’s story in a different, more immersive way. Parallax Scrolling adds special effects to your websiteโs elements so that when users scroll through your website, the background moves slower, hooking their attention until they reach the bottom of the page, thus reducing bounce rates and increasing conversions.
Undo Button
The Undo Button was the long-awaited feature that most of our customers have been expecting to see on the platform. Now you no longer need to worry about making mistakes or any changes to your work and instead get to focus on what matters the most – your academy. You will see this feature inside the Site Builder, Assessment, Certificate, and form Editors.

๐ฐ Monetize fast with ease
Boost your digital sales.
Multiple Seats
Multiple seats arenโt just a new feature but a whole new product! With it, you can make group registrations and sales to a single buyer a lot easier. You can use it to offer a desired number of seats to an organization, giving them additional control over user management with minimal administrative effort on your side.
Multiple seats apply to B2B organizations, as well as companies offering customer education or employee training.
Frictionless payment options
New frictionless payment options mean more flexible payments and, evidently, more sales. Offering your customers the ability to pay however they like increases the likelihood of making a sale, and this is one of the reasons we decided to add Apple Pay, Google Pay/Google Wallet, Klarna, and Afterpay to the payment options you can offer your customers.
With this feature addition, your customers can choose to pay without their credit card, check out only by using Face ID with Apple Pay wallet, or by installments via their Klarna account.
๐ง Collaborate smarter & better
Gain control as an admin.
Custom user roles
Custom User Roles is a powerful feature that allows you to control the level of access and determine the role of team members inside your academy. We introduced this feature and added 13 predefined user roles that you can customize further, and we broke them down into three major categories of permissions: Administrative, Instructional, and Reporting.
Make use of this feature to streamline collaboration workflows, keep sensitive information safe by restricting access, boost your teamโs productivity, and delegate tasks effectively.
Course activity reports
As part of the other major product updates we did this year, we enabled PDF Course Activity reports. This is an extremely handy feature as it allows you to download a learnerโs activity reports in PDF format and share them with external parties. The reports include key data on each learner’s time on a course per date, their learning activity score, and log-in/off times.

Approval for sign-ups
To go the extra mile with your website security, you can enable Approval for Sign-ups to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Our company has been remote since its inception (although we have offices in several locations should anyone wish to escape their remote working space), so meeting everyone and spending time together is always truly amazing.
This year, LearnWorlds’ team flew from across countries to explore two incredible places in northern Greece; Ioannina, a beautiful city next to a mesmerizing lake, and Papigko, a charming and picturesque village. We packed our luggage with warm clothes, sneakers, and extra layers of good mood, for a memorable 5-day retreat that had it all: great food and delicious drinks; dancing, hiking, rafting, and a great time bonding.
Seeing our fellow team members from across Europe make it to the retreat was awesome and heartwarming. Every company needs a positive work culture to build a healthy and productive work environment, so we are really happy and proud to have accomplished this.
Retreats like the one we had foster healthy relationships, motivate our people and make them happier. And we will admit it, it’s always fun to hang out and spend time with our colleagues. ๐
