Buyer questions.
Do we have to replace our LMS?
No. Skills can run alongside your LMS as the phone-first front end, and completions reach the tools you report from. Teams that want one system run their courses, questions and certification in Skills.
Who makes the videos?
Your own experts, recorded on their phones, with approval before anything goes live. Enterprise Studio also turns your existing material into short lessons every month.
How is this different from a microlearning app?
Blinklink pairs assigned training with a feed for everything new, a monthly content service for the material you already have, and partner training on the same platform as your own teams.
