A Comparison of Open Source Learning Management Systems (original) (raw)

A Survey Of Top 10 Open Source Learning Management Systems

International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, 2016

Open Source LMSs are fully flexible and customizable, so they can be designed in line with your school/organization's brand image. Open Source LMSs can also be converted to social learning platforms. You can create an online community through your LMS. This paper describes the most important features in learning management systems (LMS), that are critical to compare and contrast depend on your system requirements. Also represents a multiple LMS providers that are designed to use in university environment.

Learning Management Systems: A Comparative Analysis of Open-Source and Proprietary Platforms

In the context of distance education, the choice of platform for content delivery becomes a critical success factor. This paper analyzes the state of the art of e-learning platforms, Learning Management Systems and sums up a comparative analysis of some of the most popular open-source and proprietary. I test results on the comparison between the 27 different platforms and e-learning, show that at present there is still a significant gap between open source and proprietary platforms, particularly with regard to the characteristics of social networks.

An Analysis of Some Learning Management Systems

International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology (IJASEIT), 2019

The use of modern information and communication technology as a means of training pupils and students has become a popular trend. For this purpose, a special type of web-based content management systems, called Learning Management Systems (LMSs), has been used. Due to their wide implemented, lots of LMSs have been developed in recent years. All those platforms often provide similar features and users can hardly choose the most appropriate for them. There is a variety of methodologies for the quality evaluations of e-learning in the scientific literature. However, there are no good explanations and detailed studies of most of the modern LMS platforms. This article proposes an analysis of the usability and software functionality of the LMS frameworks. Based on the survey of the state-of-art science research, the criteria for analysis of the LMS platforms in this paper are summarized in three categories: Learning skills tools, Communication tools, and Productivity tools. The main goal is to present a wide-range comparative analysis of 36 electronic learning management systems. All of them support the use of multimedia elements, creating and editing the lectures, exercises and course assignments. The lack of communication support leads to using web forums and social networks out of the LMS. The contribution of this paper presents an enriched modern trend of the software methodologies of the web-based oriented learning management systems from the perspective of design and development.

Study on open source learning management systems: A survey, profile, and taxonomy

Journal of theoretical and applied information technology, 2015

Open Source Software (OSS) in the education field has often been recommended by different researchers in literature. Despite the fact that there has not been evidence, yet, of current OSS dominance over traditional methods, OSS use in education has been steadily increasing and expanding covering new domains. The reputation of the OSS learning system has a great deal of importance when it comes to people interested in adopting a Learning Management System (LMS). At any rate, choosing to start a new application or adapt and modify an existing one is an important decision. The study aims to produce basic guidance towards available OSS LMS, and their substitutes in the field of education. 23 different alternatives were picked from the existing active OSS based on previously published papers, the study also aims to produce a summary of the available studies and guides available, finally the study is aiming to bridge the gaps in the current literature while proposing a taxonomy of OSS LMS...
