Custom EdTech Platform vs Off-the-Shelf LMS

  • Learning workflows — Custom: fully customizable; Off-the-shelf LMS: vendor-defined
  • User experience — Custom: custom-designed; Off-the-shelf LMS: standardized
  • Integrations — Custom: custom integrations possible; Off-the-shelf LMS: depends on supported connectors
  • Assessments — Custom: custom rules; Off-the-shelf LMS: available features
  • Business model — Custom: can support specialized models; Off-the-shelf LMS: depends on platform
  • Mobile experience — Custom: purpose-built; Off-the-shelf LMS: depends on vendor
  • Scalability — Custom: designed around requirements; Off-the-shelf LMS: vendor-dependent
