Litmos content library and course marketplace
The Litmos content library includes over 4,000 off-the-shelf courses spanning compliance, professional development, leadership, IT skills, workplace safety, and soft skills.
The Litmos content library includes over 4,000 off-the-shelf courses spanning compliance, professional development, leadership, IT skills, workplace safety, and soft skills. Courses are developed by Litmos and third-party providers and are updated regularly to reflect regulatory changes and industry trends.
The library is included in all plan tiers, which is the single most important pricing differentiator against competitors that charge for content separately. Course formats include video, interactive modules, assessments, and downloadable resources.
Compliance course coverage and regulatory updates
The compliance library covers OSHA, HIPAA, GDPR, harassment prevention, data privacy, workplace safety, and industry-specific regulatory topics. Courses are updated when regulations change, which reduces the administrative burden of tracking regulatory updates and re-authoring compliance content manually.
Content marketplace for third-party providers
Beyond the built-in library, Litmos offers a content marketplace where third-party training providers can list courses. Organizations can purchase additional specialized content through the marketplace without leaving the platform, though marketplace courses are priced separately from the base subscription.
Litmos SCORM and xAPI content delivery engine
Litmos supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can API), and AICC content standards.
Litmos supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can API), and AICC content standards. This broad standards support means courseware built in any major authoring tool — Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, iSpring, Lectora — uploads and tracks without conversion or re-authoring.
The content delivery engine handles progress tracking, quiz scoring, completion status, and time-spent data reliably across all supported standards. For organizations migrating from a legacy LMS, the standards compatibility reduces the content migration effort significantly.
SCORM 2004 sequencing and navigation support
Litmos supports SCORM 2004 sequencing rules, which allow course designers to enforce prerequisite completion, branching paths, and conditional content delivery. This is important for organizations with structured certification programs where learners must complete modules in a specific order.
xAPI statement tracking for extended learning
xAPI support enables tracking of learning activities beyond traditional course completions — including mobile learning events, simulation interactions, and on-the-job performance observations. Organizations with mature L&D programs use xAPI to build a more complete picture of learner engagement across formal and informal learning activities.
Litmos video assessments and multimedia learning
The video assessment feature (Premier tier) allows administrators to assign video-response assessments where learners record themselves demonstrating skills, delivering presentations, or explaining concepts.
The video assessment feature (Premier tier) allows administrators to assign video-response assessments where learners record themselves demonstrating skills, delivering presentations, or explaining concepts. Reviewers then score the submissions using configurable rubrics.
Video assessments are particularly valuable for sales training, customer service skills development, and compliance demonstrations where a quiz score alone does not prove competency. The feature supports both webcam and mobile recording.
Rubric-based video scoring
Reviewers score video submissions against defined criteria using a rubric builder. Scores, comments, and pass/fail determinations are recorded in the learner's profile. Multiple reviewers can score the same submission independently, supporting calibration exercises for consistent evaluation standards.
Video hosting and playback
Litmos hosts uploaded video content and learner-recorded assessments natively, eliminating the need for an external video hosting service. Playback supports adaptive streaming based on connection quality, which improves the experience for learners on mobile or low-bandwidth connections.
Litmos gamification and learner engagement tools
The gamification engine (Premier tier) assigns points for course completions, quiz scores, and engagement milestones.
The gamification engine (Premier tier) assigns points for course completions, quiz scores, and engagement milestones. Learners earn badges for achievements, and leaderboards rank participants across teams, departments, or the entire organization.
The system is configurable — administrators can assign different point values to different activities, create custom badges, and define achievement levels that unlock recognition or rewards. Gamification can be enabled selectively for specific courses or learning paths rather than applied globally.
Leaderboard configuration and team competitions
Leaderboards can be scoped by team, department, location, or organization-wide. Administrators can create time-bound competitions — monthly or quarterly leaderboard resets — to sustain engagement momentum. Team-based competitions aggregate individual scores, which encourages peer accountability.
Badge and achievement design
Custom badges can be designed with organization-specific branding and tied to specific learning milestones. Achievement levels gate access to advanced content or recognition programs. The badge system integrates with the learner profile, providing a visible record of completed accomplishments.
Litmos compliance tracking and audit reporting
Compliance tracking is one of Litmos's core strengths.
Compliance tracking is one of Litmos's core strengths. The platform supports automated assignment of required training based on role, department, location, or hire date. Overdue training triggers escalation notifications to learners, managers, and compliance officers.
Audit-ready reports document who completed what training, when they completed it, and what score they achieved. Reports can be filtered by compliance topic, department, or time period and exported in formats suitable for regulatory submission.
Automated compliance assignment rules
Administrators define rules that automatically assign training based on user attributes — new hires receive onboarding compliance within their first week, annual harassment prevention training re-assigns on anniversary dates, and role changes trigger new compliance requirements. Rules eliminate the manual tracking that causes compliance gaps.
Certification management and renewal tracking
The certification engine tracks credential expiration dates and automatically reassigns renewal training before certificates lapse. Learners and administrators receive reminders at configurable intervals. This is essential for regulated industries where expired certifications create audit findings or legal liability.
Litmos API and third-party integrations
Litmos provides a REST API for custom integrations and pre-built connectors for Salesforce, BambooHR, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Shopify, and several HRIS platforms.
Litmos provides a REST API for custom integrations and pre-built connectors for Salesforce, BambooHR, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Shopify, and several HRIS platforms. The API supports user provisioning, course enrollment, progress tracking, and reporting data extraction.
The integration depth varies by connector — the Salesforce integration, for example, supports bidirectional data sync and embedded learning within the Salesforce UI, while other connectors are more limited in scope. Organizations with complex integration requirements should verify API capabilities during the evaluation.
Salesforce integration for customer and partner training
The Salesforce connector allows organizations to assign and track training directly within the Salesforce interface. This is valuable for customer education programs and partner enablement, where the training audience already lives in Salesforce and adding another login creates adoption friction.
SSO and user provisioning via SAML and SCIM
Litmos supports SAML-based single sign-on and SCIM for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning. When an employee is added or removed from the identity provider, their Litmos account is created or deactivated automatically, which reduces the admin overhead of managing LMS user accounts manually.
