itslearning review and pricing

Nordic and German K12 LMS leader.

By itslearning AS (Sanoma Learning) · Founded 1999 · Bergen, Norway · private

itslearning is a Norwegian-built K12 LMS, founded 1999 in Bergen and owned by Sanoma Learning (Dutch educational publisher). The product holds strong K12 positions in Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands, with growing French and US footprints. Strengths: deep integration with European curricula and education ministries, mature parent portal localized per country, strong standards-based grading per European frameworks, native LTI 1.3 support. Trade-offs: outside European K12 the installed base is thin; English-language community and resources are smaller than Canvas/Moodle; product velocity is steady but not category-leading.
