Detailed Review
Lumi is run by Lumi Education UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Brückenstraße 8, 38312 Ohrum, Germany, entered in the Handelsregister at the Braunschweig court under HRB 211280. The company lists its H5P-Nodejs-Library and desktop editor under Open Source on GitHub.
It builds on H5P, so the content types are the H5P ones: quizzes, interactive video, presentations and games.
Desktop Editor and Cloud
Lumi offers a Desktop Editor that runs on your own computer and Lumi Cloud for browser use. Content can be organised in folders with colour schemes and a list or grid view.
That makes it possible to author without uploading source material to a vendor service while drafting.
Export Options
The site lists export to HTML, SCORM or an H5P file. Finished content can also be shared by link, embedded in a website or turned into a QR code for print.
H5P content integrates with Moodle, WordPress and Drupal.
Small and Specialised
Lumi is a small company, and its product is the editor around H5P rather than a full course platform. It suits individuals and small teams more than enterprises that need SLAs and dedicated support.
Limitations to Consider
Lumi is a very small vendor, a UG (haftungsbeschränkt), and the site copyright reads 2024. We found no public pricing page for Lumi Cloud, and the terms and privacy pages did not display their text when we fetched them, so contract terms are unverified. Content types are those of H5P, so complex branching and custom triggers are out of reach. For H5P with hosted plans and LMS plugins see H5P.
Who Should Use Lumi
Teachers, trainers and small teams in Germany and elsewhere who want a local editor for H5P content with SCORM export.
