CEO & Founder
We are very fortunate to have found Media Learning Systems to digitize all of our theatre services e-training for our staff around the world (to date about 20 courses, each in 6 languages). Dr. Ross and his skilled team have transformed our courses into engaging online learning modules our theatre staff respond well to. We will continue to rely on MLS for all of our elearning course needs for years to come.
We chose Media Learning Systems to partner with to develop all of our Cannabis education programs for the Canadian marketplace because they were the most cost sensible yet thoughtful company we had the pleasure of working with. Our CannSell program is enjoying great success in part thanks to everyone at MLS.
Media Learning Systems is a top notch company who produced a highly interactive course for us. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for an eLearning firm that provides their clients with a personalized and custom approach to online courses.

Media Learning Systems helped us with creating a MOODLE course for our field workers around the GTA. The company is extremely knowledgeable, dependable and very easy to work with. Our course functions perfectly, and our employees love the training.
Dr Ross and his team have been working with us to produce many courses for industry members and maintain our MOODLE installation for over 11 years. We have enjoyed working with MLS, and together we have won 12 international awards for eLearning excellence. On behalf of RECA, we would like to thank everyone at Media Learning Systems for a job well done!
Media Learning Systems was instrumental in helping us with the daunting task of setting up our first eLearning course used to train our staff on software we just rolled out nationwide across the United States. The 12 module eLearning program was mammoth! The guidance of Dr. Jonathan Ross was invaluable, and the whole MLS team is top notch. Thanks again for all of your great help in getting us going!
