Wake-Up Call: Open Source LMS - Sam S. Adkins, Learning Circuits
There is a growing market demand for Open Source learning management system (OS LMS) products. This demand has attracted the attention of many corporate and government clients. Clients have begun to ask if Open Source LMSs are now viable alternatives to commercial platforms. Essentially, they are asking, “Are OS LMS platforms as good as commercial products yet?” The answer to date has been tentative and conditional. I answer that Open Source LMS platforms will be competitive when two market conditions occur: The market for commercial platforms reaches the commodity stage and OS LMS products exceed the level of innovation of the commercial systems.
