QUICK ANSWER
What is an LMS for associations?
An association LMS is the learning management system a society or association runs for member education: a catalog of live and on-demand activities, continuing education credit and certificates, a transcript, and reporting to accreditors such as ACCME. Sessionboard Learning is the association LMS built on the program record you already keep, so the annual meeting, webinars and chapter courses become lessons without re-entry, attendance is evidence rather than an honor-system checkbox, and members learn and claim credit in the same app they used at the meeting.

PUBLISH AS LESSON
One action turns a meeting session into an enduring lesson
Title, abstract, learning objectives, faculty, slides, recording, transcript and credit designation are already on the session. Publish as Lesson carries them into the catalog; a missing disclosure, an unapproved deck or an unassigned credit type blocks publishing until it is resolved. Select a track, a day or every recorded session and publish a whole meeting as a series with one price and one claim window.
- Everything comes along
- Readiness checked
- Bulk publish a track
- Series with one claim window
CATALOG AND STORE
A branded learning library, priced the way membership works
Browse by topic, credit type, format or meeting year. Series and bundles sell a whole track as one purchase; member, non-member and resident pricing come from your AMS; subscriptions and all-access passes, discount codes, early-bird windows and institutional seats are built in. Catalog pages are public for search engines and the lessons open on sign-in, so the library earns non-dues revenue and finds new members.
- Topics, credit types, formats, years
- Series and bundles
- AMS member pricing
- Subscriptions and group seats
- Public catalog pages
LIVE, ON-DEMAND AND HYBRID
Every format an accredited provider runs, from one activity record
The annual meeting with badge-scan attendance, webinars on Zoom and Goldcast with live and replay credit on one lesson, enduring material with chapters, searchable transcripts and captions in 30+ languages, and chapter or regional courses that run as their own events on the same transcript. Existing libraries import as lessons, SCORM packages included, so a migration keeps the back catalog and its completions.

CREDITS
Continuing education credit, from designation to certificate
Designate several credit types per activity: AMA PRA Category 1, MOCA patient safety, nursing contact hours, pharmacology. Badge scan, room check-in, webinar attendance or watch time is recorded against the activity automatically, and partial credit is computed from scan-in and scan-out rather than entered by the learner. Claim windows, a post-activity survey or post-test as the gate, staff override with an audit trail, branded certificates and one lifetime transcript per member.
- Several credit types per activity
- Partial credit from scans
- Claim windows
- Survey as the gate
- Certificates
- Lifetime transcript
REGULATOR REPORTING
The ledger talks to the regulator, so staff don't have to
ACCME PARS activity and learner records submitted on schedule with the response filed against each activity; JA-PARS for interprofessional activities; MOC and MOCA completions reported to the certifying board by learner ID with the learner's consent; CE Broker and CPE Monitor connectors and a standards-based export for any body that still takes a file. Every credit carries its scan or watch record, survey, disclosure state at delivery and any override, so the file is ready before reaccreditation asks.
- ACCME PARS and JA-PARS
- Specialty boards and MOC
- CE Broker and CPE Monitor
- Evidence attached
- Scheduled, not exported by hand
FACULTY AND DISCLOSURE
Faculty are contacts in your CRM, not profiles re-entered per course
Bio, photo, CV and financial relationships are gathered in the speaker portal during the program and follow the faculty member to every lesson they appear in. Relevant relationships are reviewed, the mitigation step is recorded on the activity, and the disclosure statement publishes to learners before the content starts. A lesson cannot go live, and credit cannot be designated, while a faculty member's disclosure is missing, expired or unmitigated.
- Collected once
- 24-month relationships
- Mitigation on the activity
- Publishing waits for compliance
- Faculty portal
ASSESSMENTS AND SURVEYS
Measure learning, gate the claim, and prove outcomes
Pre- and post-tests from question banks with randomized pulls, passing scores, attempt limits and rationale after submission. Post-activity surveys ask whether objectives were met, about bias, about commitment to change and whatever your accreditor requires, as the gate before credit. A 60-day outcomes survey goes automatically to learners who committed to a practice change, and questions can be drafted from the transcript and slides for faculty to approve.

- Passing scores and attempts
- Surveys that gate the claim
- 60-day outcomes
- Questions drafted for faculty approval

LEARNER EXPERIENCE
One home for every member: credits, deadlines and what to watch next
Members use the same login as the member site and meeting attendees are matched to their registration. The learner home shows credits earned this cycle, what is due by when, certificates, lessons in progress and recommendations from the sessions they attended and the topics they follow. The transcript is a PDF on demand or a submission to the board, and the whole experience translates into 30+ languages.
- Single sign-on
- Credits this cycle
- Recommendations by subspecialty
- Transcript on demand
- 30+ languages
MOBILE APP
The meeting app is the learning app
Attend, the Sessionboard event app, carries the lesson library, offline downloads, credit claims and certificates alongside the agenda, posters and check-in. The badge scan at the door is the attendance evidence behind the claim; members complete the survey and claim before leaving the room, and the certificate is in the app and in their inbox. Push notifications land for claim windows closing, cycle deadlines and new lessons in a followed topic.
- Scan in, credit follows
- Claim before leaving the room
- Lessons offline
- Reminders that land
- White-labeled on iOS and Android

LEARNING, OASIS LMS, PATH LMS AND EVENT PLATFORMS
An association LMS starts from a course. Learning starts from your program.
Oasis LMS, Path LMS and Elevate are full learning management systems with catalogs, assessments and regulator reporting, and they import your meeting each year. Event platforms issue credit for the meeting and stop there. Learning is the LMS that reads the program record you already keep, so sessions, faculty, attendance and credit are never re-keyed, and it says plainly what it does not do.
| Capability | Sessionboard Learning | Standalone association LMS (Oasis LMS, Path LMS, Elevate) | Event platform with CE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where sessions and faculty come from | The program record: the abstract, session, faculty, slides, recording and transcript are already there. Publish as Lesson, one action. | Built as courses in the LMS: sessions and faculty are imported from the meeting platform or re-entered each year. | Native to the meeting, but the lesson library and year-round catalog are not. |
| Attendance evidence | Badge scans, room check-in and watch time recorded on the activity automatically; a verified scan is distinguishable from a self-reported tap. | Attendance tracking for live and on-demand activities. For conference credit, attendance is imported or self-reported. | Varies: scan-in on some platforms, honor system on most. |
| Faculty disclosure | Collected once in the speaker portal during the program, mitigation recorded on the activity, publishing waits until it is current. | Collected in the LMS for its own courses. Not listed as shared with a meeting platform. | Collected for the meeting; not carried to on-demand activities. |
| Credits and certificates | Several credit types per activity, partial claims from scan-in and scan-out, claim windows, a survey or post-test as the gate, branded certificates. | Full credit and certificate engines: credit types, partial credit claiming, certificates. | A certificate for the meeting; no lifetime transcript. |
| Regulator reporting | ACCME PARS and JA-PARS, specialty boards, CE Broker and CPE Monitor from the same ledger, with the evidence attached. | Oasis LMS lists PARS, JA-PARS and CPE Monitor; Path LMS lists ACCME PARS. | Not listed for most event platforms. |
| Catalog and commerce | Series, bundles, member pricing from your AMS, subscriptions, group seats, discount codes; public catalog pages for search. | Mature catalogs and storefronts with member pricing, subscriptions and discounts. | Registration pricing only. |
| Assessments and surveys | Pre- and post-tests, question banks, passing scores, post-activity surveys that gate the claim, 60-day outcomes follow-up. No proctoring. | Full assessment engines; Oasis LMS lists AI proctoring, Path LMS lists Advanced Assessments with passcode proctoring. | Session surveys; quizzes on some platforms. |
| Mobile app | Attend, the meeting app, is the learning app: lessons, offline download, claims and certificates in the same app as the agenda. | A separate learner app (Oasis LMS lists a native app with offline learning); the meeting app is another vendor. | The meeting app, without a lesson library. |
| Transcript | One lifetime transcript per member across meetings, webinars and enduring material, with a PDF on demand. | A transcript of what was taken in the LMS. | Per-event certificates. |
| Course authoring and SCORM | Lessons come from your sessions, recordings and media; SCORM packages import so a migration keeps the back catalog. No authoring studio. | Drag-and-drop course builders and SCORM support; a decade of investment here. | Not offered. |
LMS cells are read from oasis-lms.com and blueskyelearn.com (November 2026); where a capability is not listed there, the cell says so. Event platform with CE means a meeting platform that issues credit for the meeting it runs.
What Learning does not do
No proctoring, no high-stakes exam engine and no course-authoring studio. Lessons come from the sessions, recordings and media you already have; SCORM packages import for migrations. If a proctored certification exam is the centre of your program, a dedicated exam vendor still belongs beside Learning.

EARLY ACCESS
What runs today, and how to get it
Learning is in Early Access: our team switches it on for an organization, and it is not self-serve yet. Lessons published from the program, the catalog, credit claims with verified attendance, certificates and the transcript are what design partners run today; regulator connectors are configured per accreditor as each organization comes on. Proctoring, a course-authoring studio and high-stakes exams are not offered. Request a demo to see Learning on your own program.

The association LMS, answered
What is Sessionboard Learning?
Learning is the association LMS inside Sessionboard. Sessions, posters, webinars and faculty already live on the program record; Learning packages them as lessons in a branded catalog, records attendance as evidence, issues CME and CE credit with certificates, keeps one lifetime transcript per member, and reports to ACCME PARS and the other bodies. The meeting app is the learning app, so members use one login all year.
Is Sessionboard an LMS for associations?
Yes. Learning covers what an association buys an LMS for: a catalog with member pricing and subscriptions, live, on-demand and hybrid activities, credit types and certificates, assessments and post-activity surveys, a lifetime transcript, regulator reporting and AMS writeback. The difference is where it starts: on the program you already run in Sessionboard, so the annual meeting becomes enduring material without re-entry.
How is Learning different from Oasis LMS or Path LMS?
Oasis LMS and Path LMS are standalone learning management systems: strong catalogs, assessment engines and regulator reporting, with your meeting imported each year. Learning reads the program record directly, so sessions, faculty, disclosures, attendance and credit come from one place, and the Attend meeting app is also the learner's app. Learning does not offer proctoring or a course-authoring studio; Oasis LMS lists AI proctoring and Path LMS lists Advanced Assessments.
Does Learning report to ACCME PARS?
Yes. PARS and JA-PARS submissions, specialty board reporting for MOC programs, CE Broker and CPE Monitor connectors, plus a standards-based export for any body that still takes a file, all run from the same credit ledger, with each credit's evidence attached. Submissions run on a schedule you set, and rejections become tasks for the CME team.
How does credit claiming work?
Each activity carries one or more credit types, such as AMA PRA Category 1 or MOCA patient safety. Attendance is recorded by badge scan, room check-in, webinar attendance or watch time; partial credit is computed from scan-in and scan-out. The learner completes the post-activity survey or post-test that gates the claim, in the browser or the Attend app, and the certificate lands on their transcript.
Can we sell lessons to members and non-members?
Yes. Member, non-member, resident and group pricing come from your AMS; lessons sell one at a time or as series, bundles, subscriptions and all-access passes, with discount codes and early-bird windows. Public catalog pages are indexed by search engines; the lessons themselves open on sign-in. Payments settle to your own gateway.
Does the mobile app include learning?
Yes. Attend, the Sessionboard event app, carries the member's lesson library, offline downloads, credit claims and certificates alongside the agenda, posters and check-in, so a society publishes one app for the meeting and the year of learning after it.
Is Learning for corporate teams too?
Yes, with the same engine: product and partner certification, internal academies and customer education built from your user conferences and webinars. The copy on this page leans toward associations because continuing education, credit and regulator reporting are where a program-native LMS matters most.
Can we migrate our current LMS library?
Yes. Existing courses import as lessons, SCORM packages included, with historical transcripts and certificates so members keep their record. Faculty profiles and disclosures, credit types and claim rules come over in the same step, and the first meeting publishes as lessons alongside the back catalog.
Is Learning available to every customer?
Not yet. Learning is in Early Access, and our team switches it on for an organization; it is not self-serve. Request a demo to see it on your own program, and ask your account manager about access.
