PulseLMS Documentation

Author, deliver, and prove training, all in the browser

PulseLMS is a multi-tenant learning management system hosted at learn.mypulsetech.com. Your organization signs in with single sign-on, authors block-based lessons and interactive video, assigns them to people and teams, and issues verifiable certificates, with notifications, reporting, and a partner API to tie it into the rest of your stack. Nothing to install: it runs on any modern browser.

What PulseLMS does

For learners

  • Dashboard & My Learning: assigned and in-progress courses, due dates, and what to do next, all in one place.
  • Catalog & programs: browse published courses with ratings and reviews; work through programs whose courses unlock in sequence.
  • Rich lessons: block-based content (text, images, files, audio, embeds, callouts) and interactive video with captions, chapters, and playback speed.
  • Quizzes: knowledge checks and graded assessments, with retakes where the author allows them.
  • Notes, bookmarks & discussions: capture notes against a lesson, bookmark where you left off, and ask questions in course discussions.
  • Achievements & certificates: earn points, streaks, and badges, and collect verifiable certificates that anyone can check by serial.

For authors

  • Authoring Studio: build courses from reusable blocks and organize them into lessons and modules.
  • Video studio: upload video, add VTT captions/transcripts, mark chapters, and enable playback-speed controls.
  • Quizzes & question banks: write questions once, reuse them, and configure security options and retake rules.
  • Programs: chain courses into ordered paths with prerequisites and automatic unlock.
  • Publishing: snapshot a version and attach publish notes so learners see exactly what changed.

For admins and managers

  • People, teams & roles: invite members, assign roles, group people into teams, and give managers team-scoped visibility.
  • Assignments: assign courses and programs to individuals, teams, or roles, including recurring compliance retraining.
  • Reports v2: learner transcripts, team rollups, quiz item-analysis, and time-range filters, on demand or scheduled by email.
  • Compliance: require e-signature attestation on mandatory courses and run certificate expiry + recertification cycles.
  • Branding & editions: white-label the workspace and run either the Enterprise or Community edition.

For integrators

  • Notifications: an in-app bell plus branded transactional email.
  • Webhooks: HMAC-signed event delivery for enrollments, completions, certificates, publishes, and program completions.
  • Partner API: a per-tenant, API-key REST surface with read scopes and enroll:write, documented by OpenAPI and Swagger.
  • Enterprise SSO: SAML/OIDC federation through the shared Keycloak, with JIT provisioning. See the admin integrations guide.
