Frappe LMS
Frappe LMS is a learning management system built on the same Frappe Framework that powers ERPNext. The 3-level course hierarchy organizes content into courses, chapters, and lessons supporting videos, PDFs, SCORM packages, and rich HTML content with heading, code block, and list formatting through the redesigned inline lesson editor. Batch management groups learners by course and duration with scheduled instructor-led live sessions through integrated Zoom and Google Meet, where learners see upcoming classes on their batch dashboard. The assessment engine supports single-choice, multiple-choice, and open-ended quiz questions alongside assignment submissions as PDFs or documents, with progress tracking monitoring completion rates and quiz performance across all enrolled courses. Certificate generation uses built-in templates or custom designs to validate course completion, while the job board connects certified learners with opportunities. Course monetization integrates payment processing to transform courses into revenue streams with financial tracking. Role-based access controls assign Instructor, Learner, Admin, and Manager permissions, while course package import and export enables sharing structured content between instances. The platform integrates with ERPNext HR and CRM modules through the Frappe ecosystem with RTL language support and notification slide-overs. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.
BigBlueButton
Used daily by millions of educators and learners in over 65 languages and embedded as the default virtual classroom in Moodle Cloud, Canvas, Sakai, D2L, Jenzabar, and Schoology — together comprising more than 75% of the worldwide learning management system market — BigBlueButton has been the leading open-source web conferencing platform for education since its creation at Carleton University in 2007. The platform delivers WebRTC-based real-time audio, video, and screen sharing with a tldraw v2-powered multi-user whiteboard featuring infinite canvas support, allowing multiple participants to annotate slides and draw simultaneously. Breakout rooms support up to eight concurrent groups with collaborative whiteboards enabled by default, and polling with customizable response types lets instructors assess understanding in real time. The built-in Learning Analytics Dashboard answers three questions at a glance: who is attending, who is participating, and who is learning based on poll responses, providing actionable engagement metrics without requiring webcam surveillance. Session recording captures audio, video, slides, chat, and whiteboard annotations for asynchronous playback on any device. The plugin architecture introduced in version 3.0 enables custom extensions, while IMS LTI 1.0 compliance allows integration with Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Pearson Learning Studio, and any conformant platform without custom code. The REST API enables programmatic session management, user authentication, and recording access for custom frontends like the included Greenlight application. Version 4.0 introduces LiveKit-based media and a redesigned interface. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. LGPL-3.0 licensed.
Chamilo LMS
Schools, training companies, and HR teams use Chamilo LMS to publish courses, guide learners step by step, and prove completion with grades, badges, and certificates. Teachers build courses from documents, videos, and 360 media, then arrange them into learning paths that unlock in sequence and track every learner's progress. Quizzes offer more than twenty question types with randomized draws, time limits, and adaptive testing, while assignments accept submissions, support co-grading, and plug into plagiarism checks. The gradebook turns scores into certificates with QR codes, and skills frameworks record competency levels as learners advance. Sessions let one course run for many cohorts on different calendars, attendance tools handle sign-in and Qualiopi style reporting, and the course catalogue can even sell enrolments through its e-commerce module. Discussion forums, live chat, surveys, and videoconference integrations keep classes social, and SCORM, QTI, LTI, and xAPI support means existing content and external tools slot in without conversion projects. Administrators import users in bulk, connect LDAP or OAuth2 logins, and export personal data for GDPR requests; learners get all of it in more than sixty languages, including right-to-left scripts. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
