OpenOLAT

OpenOlat is a web‑based learning management system that supports teaching, learning, assessment and communication. It offers a modular toolkit for course authors, allowing the creation of diverse instructional activities, e‑testing and collaborative tools while integrating with existing IT infrastructures. The platform is designed for minimal resource consumption, scalability and security, aiming to provide reliable operation for large numbers of users.

The software is self‑hostable, free to use under the Apache‑2.0 license, and does not require a subscription. Its open‑source nature lets organizations adapt and extend the system to meet specific educational or corporate needs. Documentation includes user, administrator and developer manuals, as well as an architecture reference and REST API details.

OpenOlat targets universities, schools, businesses and public institutions that need a flexible, scalable LMS. Its modular, “building‑block” architecture enables customized workflows and integration with other services, while the community provides mailing lists, issue tracking and events for ongoing support and development.
