Make life a little easier for your faculty and administrators with Open LMS EDU. Our LMS for higher education integrates with the leading school information systems (SISs) and education-related content and product providers. That means you can effortlessly manage user data under one unified platform.

Leverage Reporting Tools to Advance Collegiate Learning

Make data-backed decisions that enhance your eLearning initiatives with our robust reporting features. With Open LMS Reports Engine (ORE), you control the types of reports you generate, and you can create custom reports to meet your specific needs without relying on additional support from a programmer or developer! Create, edit, and export reports at your convenience.

Your administrators can create reports for instructors, while your teachers can build reports they want their learners to see. Choose from six data visualizations to embed in user dashboards to give viewers an “at a glance” look at the data that matters most.

With so much data available, your administrators and educators are empowered to make informed decisions to better serve their learners and improve educational outcomes.

Tailor Your LMS for Academic Excellence

Make your LMS platform as unique as your institution with Open LMS’s extensive customization options.

Give your LMS users a cohesive experience that’s representative of your school’s mission, values, and commitment to higher education.

Go beyond the visual elements of your platform with the help of our software experts. Customize your LMS instance on the back-end with unique plugins and integrations that ensure your users’ expectations are met. As your institution’s needs evolve, so too can your LMS. Open LMS software engineers and experts can assist you every step of the way to adapt to your changing needs.

Design Dynamic Academic Environments

Take advantage of Open LMS’s user-friendly platform to create dynamic learning environments. Our powerful tools and integrations help instructors and students navigate synchronous and asynchronous course requirements so your learners can get the best of both worlds.
