tessello

Tessello is a modern, socially-driven learning platform that goes far beyond the traditional Learning Management System (LMS) by placing informal, experiential, and collaborative learning at the core of its design. Developed by Brightwave, Tessello seamlessly blends formal training with user-generated content, social learning, and real-time engagement, making it ideal for organizations aiming to foster a culture of continuous learning. What makes Tessello particularly distinctive is its integration of the xAPI (Experience API), allowing it to track a wide range of learning experiences—including those that happen outside the platform, such as on-the-job learning or external resources—providing a more holistic view of employee development. Learners can contribute articles, videos, job aids, and insights in a community feed, engage in discussion threads, and receive recognition through gamified elements like points, badges, and leaderboards. From a user perspective, Tessello offers an intuitive and visually engaging experience that encourages participation and knowledge sharing, making learning feel more natural and less like a checkbox exercise.
