Instancy Learning Record Store vs Mosra

Instancy Learning Record Store is a cloud service that receives and stores learning activity data generated through Experience API (xAPI). It can track activity across web browsers, mobile apps, simulations, performance support, social learning, and business applications. External systems can send data using basic authentication or OAuth, and the LRS can exchange xAPI data with learning management systems. Instancy says the service is integrated with its learning ecosystem for content authoring, delivery, and data reporting. Dashboards and reports with drill-down widgets support analysis; a statement viewer lets users inspect raw xAPI records and filter by user or learning activity. Captured activity can trigger workflows such as assigning the next module or recommending a learning pathway. The LRS supports cmi5 and multi-tenant use. Instancy's learning implementation team can help identify activity and content types, configure the system, and integrate data flows. There is no free plan. A complimentary 30-day trial does not require credit card information, and pricing is on request based on user count, modules, functionality, and learning needs; an initial implementation setup fee applies after subscription activation.

Mosra is a lesson-authoring tool for creating interactive material that can be tracked by a learning management system. Lessons can include graded questions, object states, triggers and variables without code. Question formats include multiple choice, multiple response, true/false, dropdown, short answer, essay, hotspot and drag-and-drop. Exports cover SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, cmi5, PPTX, PDF, HTML5, PNG, SVG and video. A built-in Learning Record Store reports views, completions, scores and individual answers without an external LMS. Teams can co-edit in real time, comment on slides, use @mentions and set viewer, commenter or editor roles for links. Windows and macOS desktop apps support offline projects and local video export. Organizations can self-host the editor and record store with Docker Compose, but must manage backups, TLS, upgrades and uptime, and be familiar with Linux servers. The launch-period plan is free and includes unlimited lessons and listed features and exports; presentations and exports carry a “Made with Mosra” line.
