ネットラーニング

What NetLearning is

ネットラーニング (NetLearning, 株式会社ネットラーニング) is a Japanese e-learning company that sells corporate training to companies and schools: a learning platform called Multiverse®, its own e-learning courses, and help with producing content and running training. The site's description of itself calls the company "eラーニング業界最大手" (the largest player in the e-learning industry) and promises "多機能・統合型プラットフォームと充実したサポート・多数の実績" (a multi-function, integrated platform, thorough support and a long track record). The reader it serves is an HR or training department in Japan that needs to put employees through courses and keep records of who completed what.

The company's official blog carries a long June 2026 article on what an LMS is, written by Tsutomu Kishida (岸田 努), the company's chairman and CEO. His profile says he joined NetLearning in 2003 after handling information system projects for large companies at a foreign-owned information services firm, spent the following years building the e-learning market and consulting mainly for large enterprises, and became chairman and CEO in 2026. He also sits on the boards of three industry bodies, the Japan Massive Open Online Courses Promotion Council (JMOOC), the Digital Learning Consortium and the Japan Online Education Industry Association, serving as director and vice-chair. The same official blog publishes companion explainers on e-learning, SCORM, EdTech and AI-equipped learning platforms.

Multiverse: the platform

The article describes Multiverse as a "多機能ラーニングプラットフォーム" (multi-function learning platform) and lists what it covers: e-learning creation, training management, online delivery, on-demand delivery, curriculum, learning management and open badges. In the article's own classification of LMS types, Multiverse is an integrated LMS, the kind that brings e-learning, classroom training, online training, on-demand delivery, curriculum management and learning history together in one system. That is the type the article recommends for companies with complex training systems that want company-wide training, level-based and job-based programs, qualification support and reskilling managed in one place.

Administration is built for organizations with structure. According to the article, Multiverse supports bulk registration and updating of learner records by CSV, grouping of both learners and administrators, and hierarchical management, so learner management can follow the shape of the organization. A training team can then assign different courses to new hires, managers and the whole workforce, and check enrollment and progress by department, job type, location or level.

On security, the article says Multiverse offers IP address restrictions, single sign-on with SAML authentication, and face authentication to confirm who is taking a course. Those features matter for companies running confidential or compliance training where proof of the right person completing the course counts.

For building content, the article introduces ContentsPRO®, a no-code content creation tool presented as part of Multiverse, in which generative AI helps write test questions. That is the part of the product aimed at companies that want to produce their own e-learning in house and faster.

Open badges are a recurring theme. The article says Multiverse supports digital certification through open badges, which a company can use to make employees' skills and learning results visible and to inform staffing and career planning. The CEO's own profile links to a public page of the open badges he holds.

The company site has separate sign-in pages for the two audiences: a learner "My Room" login and an administrator login, with a help section and a contact route for users who run into problems.

Content and services beyond the platform

NetLearning does not only supply software. The article says the company presents Multiverse as a platform with broad support from providing educational content through producing it to running training, and it links to the company's catalog of e-learning courses. One case study names LearningSpace, which the article describes as a flat-rate e-learning plan (定額制eラーニングプラン): a subscription to courses that employees can choose from themselves.

Case studies

The article closes with three customer examples drawn from NetLearning's own services.

• A school group. For 学校法人神戸創造学園・創学ゼミナール and 株式会社創造学園, Zoom online classes and the LMS were combined into one platform, so on-demand and live online classes run from the same place. The article says this reduced the administrative workload while letting the school expand its online class services, and draws the lesson that one system can handle e-learning, online training, live streaming, attendance and learning history together.
• Jamco. 株式会社ジャムコ adopted LearningSpace and open badges to give employees more chances to reskill on their own and to raise business and digital skills. Staff choose courses themselves from a dedicated learning portal. The article presents it as a case of supporting self-directed learning while making progress and acquired skills visible, and reports 2,220 registered users taking 5,500 courses in one year, an average of 2.5 courses per person, with "Introduction to Project Management" set as a company-designated course for everyone.
• Canon. キヤノン株式会社 uses NetLearning e-learning courses for IT engineer training, aiming to give each engineer the training he or she needs, improve results and cut the cost of travel, training rooms and trainers. The article says the program grew to more than 1,000 people a year while keeping completion rates high.

Pricing

The site publishes no prices for Multiverse. The article ends with a link to request materials or discuss a demo (資料請求／デモのご相談), which is how a quote starts. The article itself notes that LMS costs depend heavily on the number of users, the features chosen and any customization, and that setup, account issuing and data migration can add to the monthly fee.

Who it suits

NetLearning suits a Japanese company or school that wants an integrated platform plus a vendor that can also supply courses and help run training. Large employers with structured programs (new-hire onboarding, management training, company-wide information security courses, engineer training at scale) match the case studies best, and the CSV, grouping and hierarchy tools are built for that kind of organization. Companies that want employees to pick their own courses can look at the LearningSpace flat-rate plan, and those that want to recognize skills formally have open badges built in. Teams that need to prove who took a course get face authentication and SSO.

The limits are mostly about access. The site and materials are in Japanese, and Multiverse is quoted after a request for materials or a demo rather than priced online.
