Drupal as a Learning Platform

Online learning systems are a major growth market in the web industry. Many organizations including corporations, non-profits, trade associations, educational institutions, and small businesses need and use online learning for a variety of reasons.

The existing online learning software market is highly fragmented with different offerings for content creation, content presentation and management, result and interaction storage, reporting, sales, and CRM. Generally each of these features is implemented well by both proprietary and open source software, but each only does its one thing, and the various components and systems are difficult to tie together. Costs for proprietary all-in-one solutions can run into the millions.

Drupal offers a cohesive open source platform alternative for online learning systems that significantly lowers the barrier to entry for small and medium sized organizations by leveraging all of its existing award winning capabilities, put together with new technologies and modules developed recently.
