Open Source Learning Platform
A learning platform is a multi-year commitment in disguise: courses, grades, and years of student records accumulate inside it, so the real cost isn't the license but how trapped you are when you outgrow it or it changes hands. The open source systems here keep that coursework and enrollment history in standards-based formats on infrastructure you run, so an institution can extend the platform to fit its own pedagogy and still own the record of everyone who ever passed through it.
