Claroline Connect is a learning management system designed for educational institutions, training providers and organisations delivering online learning. It provides a collaborative environment in which teachers and course designers can organise resources, structure learning activities and manage communication with participants.
The platform places particular emphasis on learner autonomy and collaboration. Rather than restricting education to a fixed sequence of documents and assessments, Claroline provides tools for organising learning spaces that can accommodate different teaching methods and training requirements.
Claroline Connect is developed using Symfony and React. Its modular architecture allows institutions to extend the platform and adapt its functionality to their learning and administrative workflows.
This is free and open source software.
