Our open source Learning Management System (LMS) offering

Simply put, a Learning Management System (LMS) is a portal from which to launch and track e-learning courses. If your organisation uses e-learning, you may already have an LMS. If not, you may be considering implementing one.  Epic offers an LMS based on the open-source platform Moodle, combined with popular extensions for compliance certificates, webinars and classroom events, carefully targeted to your needs.

Open-source LMS

Epic’s LMS is based on Moodle for good reason. In the E-learning Guild 2010 survey, Moodle was positioned in the top 3 learning management systems, achieving the highest ranking in each of the following categories:

• Cost
• Ease of installation
• Reporting capabilities
• Time to implement
• Living up to promises
• Assessment capabilities
• Migrating content and customisation

Being open-source means zero license fees, no vendor lock-in, regular new releases, hundreds of contributed plug-ins and an immense online community of expert practitioners. For more practical advice on Moodle implementation, read our Insight: Evaluating Moodle for your organisation.
