What OttoLearn is
OttoLearn is a microlearning platform for employee training, built around brief lessons, adaptive learning, and spaced repetition. Its training sessions are described as two minutes long, and its algorithms focus sessions on each learner’s knowledge gaps and goals. Administrators create and update material in Content Studio, arranging it into modules, topics, concepts, and activities. Contests, leaderboards, points, and a rewards store provide gamification; badges are marked as coming soon on the pricing page. Interactive analytics cover mastery, learner and assignment engagement, knowledge gaps and lifts, and knowledge card views.
The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API access, with mobile delivery. Integrations include SCORM-compliant LMS launch, OpenID-compatible single sign-on, and APIs such as user sync with an LMS or HRIS. The maker says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and hosted at an Amazon Canadian data center with historically better than 99.99% uptime. It supports 20 interface languages, content in over 100 languages, and enlarged text and high contrast options. The starting price is $250/month, billed annually; there is no free plan or trial.
