Our Commitment to Open Source

As the world shifts from the traditional way of learning and training, into the new online learning, the Learning Management System (LMS) has become an integral part of the educational process for businesses, learning institutions, professional groups and self-learners. The ability to deliver educational materials on a customized, branded platform is highly appealing to companies looking to teach or train students, employees, volunteers, or customers.

Enabling technologies

Open source technology: let us share the development effort, lowering research and costs whilst keeping a faster innovation cycle for our product.

Accelerate product development

By leveraging the collective development efforts by many developers around the world to contribute and make the product better.

Independency for all

Giving the power back to the hands of users, open-source technology allows organizations to use the software the way they want.

Seamless integrations

Open-source LMS makes it easier to integrate with other tools. Including effectively streamline, organizing the data and content within your learning ecosystem.

What is Open Source eLearning?

The open-source technology means anyone can get started with zero upfront costs when adapting the system which means, anyone can get public access to the source-file code directly, to develop, study and improve the system with no restriction. It also allows organizations that use the tech to scale as necessary, customise as required, and easily transfer content without any vendor lock-in. This is an advantage to most SMEs (Small & Medium-sized Enterprises) looking to adapt to an online learning environment without vendor and price commitment pressure.

This type of open development community is often where new standards and innovation emerge.

And we want to allow that space to happen, especially in a fast-growing industry like eLearning & learning management system. Our goal here at Open LMS is similar to that of all open-source companies, to leverage an engaged community alongside our own team of developers to improve the features and components that we are releasing, and to empower both Open LMS clients and the greater eLearning community to take advantage of powerful tools that can improve the learning experience for Moodle™ and Moodle™- based software users across the globe. Additionally, we want to ensure that our clients at Open LMS and other eLearning professionals feel confident in their long-term ability to take advantage of these tools to support the longevity of their learning programs for years to come.
