Learning Management System: Deliver Exceptional Online Education
Transform How Your Institution Teaches and Learns
The OpenEduCat Learning Management System empowers educational institutions to create, deliver, and manage online courses with enterprise-grade features and intuitive usability. Whether you are supplementing classroom instruction, offering fully online programs, or providing professional development, our LMS provides the tools you need to succeed in digital education.
The Challenge: Why Institutions Struggle with E-Learning
Educational institutions today face mounting pressure to deliver quality online learning experiences. Many struggle with fragmented systems where course content lives in one platform, student records in another, and grades in yet another. This fragmentation creates data silos, doubles administrative work, and frustrates both faculty and students.
Traditional LMS platforms often require extensive technical expertise to set up and maintain. Faculty spend more time fighting the technology than creating engaging content. Students get lost in confusing interfaces and miss critical learning materials. Administrators cannot easily track who is falling behind or measure learning outcomes across the institution.
The integration gap is particularly painful. When your LMS does not connect with your student information system, every enrollment must be manually entered. When quiz scores do not flow to the gradebook, faculty waste hours on data entry. When progress reports are not accessible to advisors, at-risk students slip through the cracks until it is too late.
The Solution: How OpenEduCat LMS Helps
OpenEduCat LMS is designed from the ground up as an integrated component of a complete Educational ERP. This means your online courses connect seamlessly with student records, grades, attendance, and every other aspect of academic management. One platform, one database, one login.
Our LMS supports multiple content types including videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or direct uploads; documents in PDF and Office formats; rich text articles with embedded media; and interactive quizzes that automatically sync to the gradebook. Faculty can organize content into logical modules with flexible navigation policies - allowing self-paced exploration or enforcing sequential completion.
The enrollment system connects directly to your academic structure. Link courses to specific batches, programs, or open them for public enrollment. Track progress in real-time with visual dashboards showing exactly where each student stands. Award certificates automatically when learners complete the course, with verification codes for authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate content from another LMS?
Yes. OpenEduCat supports SCORM content packages, which most LMS platforms can export. We also provide migration assistance for customers moving from major platforms like Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard. Our professional services team can help map your existing course structure to OpenEduCat.
How does the LMS integrate with existing student records?
OpenEduCat LMS is part of the integrated Educational ERP, meaning student records exist in a single database. When you link an LMS course to an academic batch, students in that batch are automatically eligible for enrollment. There is no separate sync process or import/export - it is all connected.
What video formats and hosting options are supported?
You can embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive using just the URL - the system automatically generates the proper embed code. For direct uploads, MP4 format is recommended. Videos are stored in the Odoo file system and can be streamed directly to students.
Can students access courses on mobile devices?
Yes. The student portal is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. Students can watch videos, read documents, complete quizzes, and track their progress from any device with a web browser. The Enterprise edition also supports mobile app access.
How are certificates verified?
Each completion certificate includes a unique verification code. Anyone can visit your institution’s verification page, enter the code, and confirm the certificate is authentic. This is particularly valuable for professional certifications and continuing education credits.
Can I sell courses to external learners?
Yes. The Enterprise edition supports paid course enrollment with integrated payment processing. You can set course prices, accept payments through configured payment gateways, and automatically grant access upon payment. This is ideal for continuing education, professional development, and open enrollment programs.
What analytics are available?
The LMS provides dashboards showing enrollment counts, completion rates, average progress, and course ratings. You can drill down to individual student progress, see which modules are most engaging or challenging, and track trends over time. Enterprise customers get additional analytics including time-spent tracking and engagement metrics.
Is there support for live virtual classes?
OpenEduCat integrates with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams for live virtual sessions. While the LMS focuses on asynchronous content delivery, you can schedule and link live sessions within your course structure for the best of both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
