Executive summary
If you thought that “Open source learning management
system (LMS) equals Moodle”, then think again. There are
at least five credible open source substitutes to
commercial LMS solutions, each of which we feel is good
enough to recommend to our customers. There is no
‘one-size-fits-all’ system; each of them has strengths that
suit certain organisations and weaknesses that make
them less suited to others. In this paper we recommend
the top open source LMSs, take a look at five key markets
and propose the open source LMS best suited to each.
