ThingLink
What it is
ThingLink is an AI-powered platform for creating immersive content and learning experiences in education and business. Its no-code tools turn PDFs and slide presentations into lessons and courses, and can generate images and 360° media. Creators can add information, questions, and decision-based guidance to images, video, 3D models, and 360° environments. Content supports self-paced learning and can be used on desktop, mobile, tablet, VR headsets, and immersive spaces. ThingLink lists web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted platforms. Learning teams can share content through LMS and LXP services including Canvas, Moodle, 360Learning, Docebo, and Cornerstone. Analytics and xAPI integration track learner engagement, completion, and performance. ThingLink describes audiences across K-12 and higher education, vocational learning, healthcare, manufacturing, safety, and professional development. It says it supports WCAG 2.2 AA, automatic translation, navigation, and assistive features, and reports GDPR, COPPA, and FERPA compliance plus ISO 27001 certification. Paid plans start at $9/user/mo billed annually, and a free trial is available. If a trial or license ends without an upgrade, published content becomes unpublished, though the account retains access.
