A Guide to K-12 Open Source LMS Options

“The key decision when selecting a Learning Management System
(LMS) for a K-12 school district is no longer whether to use a
commercial option or the open source Moodle. Instead, costly
commercial solutions are increasingly left out of the equation, and
administrators are instead focusing their energies on which of
several open source systems might be best for their district.

“When conducting needs assessments for LMSes, administrators are
looking at a variety of options and coming to different
conclusions. While Moodle and Sakai are the two open source LMSes
with the biggest market share in the United States, there are more
specialized and newer entrants to the field that are getting
notice, including Instructure’s Canvas, OLAT, ATutor, and Google’s
CloudCourse.”
