How LearnerMap works
LearnerMap is a free learning platform for organisations. Here is what it does, who does what, and what stays private.
Organisations come first
Everything in LearnerMap belongs to an organisation: a company, a school, a club or a team. Each one gets its own space with its own name, logo, app icon and accent colour, shown on its sign-in screen and throughout the app. One person can belong to several organisations and switch between them from the sidebar.
Whoever creates an organisation becomes its Account Owner. People are invited by email and join on their first sign-in. There is no limit on how many people an organisation can invite.
Academies, courses and lessons
Instructors host academies, and each academy holds courses. A course is a sequence of lessons built from blocks: text, callouts, code, images, files, embedded or uploaded video and narrated lessons. Every course ends with a quiz and a pass mark; passing it completes the course and issues a certificate.
An academy is either open, so every member can find and join it, or invite-only, so only the people it adds can see its courses. Instructors post announcements to their learners and grade coursework against rubrics.
Narrated lessons with LearnerMap Studio
Studio turns a lesson, pasted text or a PDF into a narrated, interactive lesson. A model drafts the scenes and the author edits every word; a natural voice reads the narration, and the on-screen points, code and diagrams appear as the words that introduce them are spoken.
Learners get captions, a transcript they can click to jump to any sentence, chapters and checkpoint questions that pause the lesson until they answer. Nothing is rendered on a server: the lesson plays in the browser.
A plan with a limit on work in progress
Each learner has a plan. It holds at most 3 courses in progress at once, so people finish what they start before pulling in the next one. Required training is assigned to teams with a due date and a class of service: Standard, Fixed Date or Expedite.
HR and managers see flow, not just completion: cycle time against the usual expectation, throughput, and work that has been ageing. They can see risk before a due date passes and help where it matters.
Roadmaps and hackathons
Roadmaps are role and skill paths, from first steps to depth. Each step says why it matters, links to useful resources and can point to a course in your own catalog, and learners mark their progress as they go.
Hackathons bring people together in teams, with tracks, judging against criteria and a leaderboard once results are published.
Roles and permissions
Six roles come built in: Account Owner, HR Admin, Manager, Instructor, Content Editor and Learner, made from fourteen permissions. Some permissions can be limited to the teams a person manages. Inside each academy there are owners, instructors, assistants and students. Every permission is checked on the server, and nobody below Account Owner can raise their own access.
Public catalogs
An Account Owner can choose to publish the organisation’s catalog. Its public pages show open academies, published courses with their summaries, lesson titles, lengths and quizzes, and published roadmaps, so people can find them in search.
Lesson content, quiz questions, invite-only academies, drafts and anything about people stay private to members. Turning the setting off takes the pages down straight away.
Signing in
There are no passwords. You sign in with a six-digit code sent to your email address, or with a passkey on your device. Email from an organisation only goes to people who have signed in at least once, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
Free for everyone
LearnerMap has no subscriptions, seats, invoices or paid courses. A few limits keep it fair: storage per organisation and per person, daily budgets for narration and generated images, and caps on email. Each limit answers with a clear message that says what to do next.
