What Our Clients Say

The United States Air Force Academy Airmanship Program has been using the GrassBlade LRS from Next Software Solutions since January 2019. While currently limited to one course, the intent based upon system reliability, ease of use and functionality, is to migrate multiple courses to the GrassBlade LRS. The GrassBlade LRS houses courseware, affords web-based access, records completion, scores and documents attempts at hands-on activities conducted in the lab. Student progress on required activities (Dashboard Metrics) can be assessed at a glance. As the USAFA Airmanship Program Manager, I strongly recommend use of the GrassBlade LRS.

In my experience with working with Grassblade LRS. It is a simple, easy to use UI, very well documented with excellent support.
The post purchase support has been incredible, by far the best in this domain. Also, given that Pankaj’s expertise and experience is far reaching, the insight he offers is valuable.
Strongly recommended solution!

I was pleased to find GrassBlade so that I could leverage the content I create in Articulate Storyline by placing it on my WordPress site. I decided to just buy the full version because it was affordable and it gave me more access to all of GrassBlade's capabilities.
I am looking forward to all of its continued developments and growth.

The Grassblade xAPI Gravity Forms Plugin for WordPress has enabled us to build a WordPress site that allows educators to create simple online learning with WordPress based quizzes that track in our new xAPI LRS. It is so easy to use that our testers need only a 10-minute introduction before they are able to start using the system to create learning modules. It's nice when something "just works" like this does!
