Blue Sky eLearn's 2024 Year in Review
As we kick off 2025, we're excited to share our achievements from the past year. In 2024, Blue Sky eLearn focused on empowering organizations with innovative learning solutions that expand reach and drive engagement.

We enhanced Path LMS™ with powerful new features and AI capabilities, while broadening our professional services to support our clients with comprehensive learning solutions and virtual event management. These advancements helped our clients deliver exceptional educational experiences and increase member retention through smart workflows and rich interactivity.

Thank you to our clients and partners for your collaboration and trust. Let's explore what Blue Sky eLearn accomplished in 2024!

Top Path LMS Features Released in 2024

Over the past year, our Product and Research & Development teams worked tirelessly to enhance Path LMS to meet the evolving needs of our clients. From streamlining content creation to driving learner engagement and scaling organizations' impact, everything we've done has been focused on helping our clients succeed.

We released over 60 new features and updates in 2024. Some of our top feature releases included:

Enhanced Reporting & Analytics

In 2024 we completely refreshed our reporting and analytics experience, starting with streamlined core dashboards that surface key insights at a glance. Our redesigned interface puts the most critical metrics front and center, letting you spot trends and make decisions with confidence.

At the center of this upgrade is our new Report Builder. Gone are the days of rigid, pre-built reports. Now you can craft data stories that speak directly to your organization's needs. Combined with AI-powered data visualization tools, the Report Builder transforms complex data into clear insights that drive action. Whether you're measuring engagement, tracking completions, or demonstrating ROI, you'll have the flexibility to explore your data in ways that matter most to your organization.

No-Code Customization

Your learning environment should reflect your brand without requiring technical expertise. In 2024, we expanded our suite of no-code customization tools with powerful and intuitive features. Our new enhanced editor brings new layouts and formatting options to your course content, while AI-powered content tools help craft engaging descriptions and articulate learning outcomes with ease.

We've also introduced dynamic components and templates to streamline content creation and updates across your entire site, ensuring consistency while dramatically reducing administrative time. Want to adjust your site's visual identity? New global style controls let you customize everything from header backgrounds to borders, creating a cohesive branded experience that resonates with your learners.

Course Metadata

We believe that finding the right learning content should be effortless—both for administrators and learners. Our new course metadata fields bring intelligent organization to your course catalog, making it simple to categorize, manage, and discover content. These custom fields can help unify your organization's unique taxonomy across your ecosystem, update information in a central location, and improve discovery for your learners through robust filtering and search options, and dynamically showcase content.

Think of it as a smart classification system that enriches your content and scales efficiency as you grow your organization. The result? A learning environment where content discovery feels natural, and course administration is refreshingly simple.

Email Automations

Communication is key to learner engagement, which is why we've enhanced Path LMS's native email capabilities. Our new editable email automations streamline administrative workflows while maximizing learner participation. The intuitive drag-and-drop email builder makes it easy to create compelling communications that promote content and drive engagement across your learning community.

These tools put sophisticated communication features at your fingertips, helping you build stronger connections with learners and keep your audience actively engaged in their learning journey.

New Ways to Integrate

In 2024, we expanded our integration ecosystem with strategic partnerships. Key additions include Hivebrite, WooCommerce, and ABA MCLE, enhancing our platform's connectivity and capabilities.

Path LMS – ABA MCLE Integration

Managing continuing legal education compliance just got easier. Our new integration with the American Bar Association (ABA) MCLE platform automates the entire process of tracking, verifying, and reporting CLE activities across multiple jurisdictions. By connecting Path LMS with ABA's established MCLE system, organizations can save valuable time and resources while ensuring accurate compliance management. Your attorneys can focus on learning while administrators benefit from streamlined reporting and verification – creating a more efficient MCLE experience for everyone.

Strengthening Our Foundation

The Path LMS development teams have completed key foundational improvements to strengthen the infrastructure of our product. We have migrated our primary hosted data center from Heroku to Amazon Web Services (AWS), renowned for being the most expansive and universally adopted cloud platform in the world.

We were also recently certified as SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, confirming that the Path LMS system and controls meet the American Institute of CPAs' (AICPA's) stringent requirements for protecting sensitive information. This achievement demonstrates our dedication to maintaining the highest levels of security and reliability for our learning management platform.

Learning that Transforms

In 2024, Blue Sky eLearn combined technology with expert-driven learning solutions to help organizations advance their educational goals. Our Learning & Development team worked with 61 organizations to complete 41 projects, each designed to meet the specific needs of modern adult learners.

Some project highlights include:

  • Partnered with a financial services association to create 4+ hours of highly interactive eLearning, incorporating industry-specific scenarios and real-world applications
  • Collaborated with a construction industry client to develop an 8-hour asynchronous certificate program, ensuring comprehensive coverage of essential skills and compliance requirements
  • Worked with a pharmaceutical client to develop innovative approaches to clinical trial training, enhancing participant engagement and knowledge retention
  • Analyzed learner data to design targeted learning paths and create customized marketing strategies for different learner segments
  • Assisted a medical client in creating a 5-year education plan through collaboration with surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists
  • Developed a strategic learning roadmap to optimize content development for a healthcare organization

Alongside Path LMS, these specialized Learning & Development services helped organizations increase non-dues revenue, enhance member value, and advance their educational missions.

Expanding Access Through Enhanced Virtual Events

In 2024, Blue Sky eLearn continued to transform how associations connect virtually, combining our technology with comprehensive event support. While the industry saw a strong return to in-person gatherings, our virtual and hybrid event services provided strategic advantages—from expanded accessibility to record-breaking engagement.

Our dedicated events team orchestrated 1,489 virtual and hybrid events, ranging from webinars to large-scale virtual conferences. Our live streamed events hosted over 166k viewers from 157 countries for a total view time of nearly 16 years!

This year marked significant advancement in how attendees engage with content through groundbreaking AI capabilities. Our new multi-language AI captions and audio dubbing services broke down language barriers for live streamed events, creating truly global learning environments accessible to diverse audiences worldwide.

Together with our robust platform capabilities, these personalized virtual event services empowered associations to expand their reach and foster meaningful connections across borders throughout 2024.

Cheers to 2025!

In 2025, we're elevating our commitment to transform professional education through powerful, measurable outcomes. Our strategic roadmap leverages AI-driven tools to accelerate learning delivery, enhanced eCommerce capabilities that streamline content access, and immersive experiences that boost engagement—all designed to help organizations achieve more substantial results, envision broader possibilities, and extend your reach.

Path LMS is evolving to deliver the tangible impacts modern organizations need: smarter workflows that save valuable time, personalized learning that drives professional growth and career advancement for learners, and streamlined compliance processes that reduce administrative burden while shaping the future of professional education.

As we move forward, we're committed to our partnership in unlocking quantifiable opportunities, solving challenges, and creating learning experiences that drive measurable organizational impact. Stay connected for ongoing innovations as we make 2025 a landmark year for growth and transformation!
