At LearnWorlds, we strive to give you, our customers, exactly what you need. We constantly try to deliver the best online course platform for you by developing new features inspired by your feedback. Our goal is not only to be part of the future of education, but to help shape it as well. This can only be achieved by collaborating with our incredible customers!

That’s why we’re launching the You Ask. We Deliver. product updates — a recurring series of posts highlighting customer-requested features and improvements.
