Your Experience with Valamis
Oct 14, 2013
Hey guys,
I´m aboiut to integrate Valamis (http://www.liferay.com/de/marketplace/-/mp/application/17200859?_7_WAR_osbportlet_backURL=%2Fde%2Fmarketplace) into my Liferay Portal. I´d be glad if you guys could share your experience with Valamis. Is it stable? Does it work well? Does it look good? Which kind of courses can you integrate? My company actually uses articulate to create courses, is it compatible?
As of yet, I´ve only seen the demo they provide on their website. However I´d like to hear from your experience about the handling, the variety of formats one can integrate (for example scorm contents), and so on.
Looking foward to your replies!

Hi Ralf,
I just wanted to welcome you to the E-Learning Heroes Community! I'm not familiar with that system, but if you are still in trial with Storyline, you can publish to the LMS as a test to see how it performs with your sample courses.
If you need anything else, please let us know!
Hi Ralf,
I am leading the Valamis application development in Arcusys. I am happy to tell you that we support all SCORM course module formats you can create with Articulate Storyline. We're now actually releasing Valamis 1.5 version, which supports Tin Can API. You can upload Tin Can packages created with Storyline to Valamis and run them as part of your course content. We will provide more information about this at www.valamislearning.com in few days.
Personally I think Storyline is your go-to content authoring tool in the market. A lot of Valamis LMS users are using it as well with great results.
I am happy to setup you a test environment, where you can upload your own courses. You can contact me at janne.hietala (at) arcusys.com
Thanks Janne for that information and offer of assistance! Also, welcome to the Heroes community!

Thanks Janne, I wish I could take credit for them, but we have an amazing team who creates the Studio and Storyline products!

Hi Prasenjit and welcome to Heroes!
I'm not familiar with Valamis, but I see that Janne previously offered help in this thread. You may want to send him a private message in case he's not subscribed any longer.

Hi Prasenjit,
Sorry for late reply. Valamis 1.5 does not support Liferay 6.2. Please download Valamis 2.0 from Liferay Marketplace and you're able to deploy it to Liferay 6.2.
Hi Janne,
Any customer using Valamis on Liferay at present ?
Thanks,
Hemant Prasad
