Overview

How each tool is described

EdCast

EdCast is a legacy learning experience platform now positioned inside the Cornerstone portfolio after acquisition. It is relevant for enterprises reviewing historical EdCast deployments, skills-based learning, content discovery, and transition planning toward Cornerstone Xplor. The strongest reason to keep it listed is search clarity for buyers still using the EdCast name and older vendor documentation during evaluations.

EdCast should not be treated as a default standalone LMS purchase today. It fits existing customers, Cornerstone buyers, and procurement teams comparing old LXP contracts with current product direction. Buyers should confirm module availability, roadmap timing, migration support, pricing, and whether Xplor is the better current path before publishing it prominently for new LMS buyers or current renewal decisions.

Looop

Looop is a resource-based workplace learning product now owned by 360Learning. Instead of centering every program on formal courses, it focuses on short resources, performance support, and content that employees can use at the moment of need. Its value is clearest for organizations rethinking traditional course completion models and want learning embedded in daily work.

Looop fits teams that already believe in resource-first learning and want practical workplace support rather than heavy compliance administration. It is less suitable for buyers needing a fully independent current LMS, broad enterprise skills management, or highly regulated certification workflows across many business units. Buyers should confirm current packaging, roadmap, 360Learning integration, support, and whether 360Learning's core platform is the better procurement route.
