Custom LMS Development

Q: What does an LMS system do?

Simply put, an LMS provides a collaborative learning tool, which makes it easy for anyone in the organization to create, deliver and report on training courses and programs. In other words, it can handle the entire life cycle of the particular learning process. Users can take classes and submit feedback using a single LMS interface. As a rule, an LMS enables admins to monitor learners’ progress, access analytics, and adjust their learning programs for specific needs. Furthermore, a good custom LMS can go with gamification, social learning features, and customization.

Q: What are the examples of learning management systems?

Here are some commonly used LMS examples: Open-source: Moodle, OpenEdX, Canvas; Proprietary: Blackboard Learn, Schoology; Cloud-based: TalentLMS, eLoomi; SaaS: EdApp, Nimble, Dokeos.

Q: How much does it cost to build an LMS?

LMS software development costs depend on the functionality, a visual representation of the platform, the number/seniority of specialists involved, and the timeframe for the platform delivery. For an essential LMS, the average pricing will range from $25K to $50K. However, if you want to implement advanced functionality and ensure seamless integration with third-party services, multilingual support, and multi-tenancy, it is necessary to opt for custom LMS development. In this case, the costs may rise from $50K to $300K+.

Q: Who can leverage custom LMS development?

Any organization delivering eLearning courses can leverage a custom LMS to serve the specific training needs of educational institutions and businesses.
