Frappe Learning
Open-source LMS where courses have chapters and lessons, with batches, Zoom live classes and quizzes.
Chapters, quizzes, assignments, Zoom batches and certificates.
Frappe Learning is an LMS built to make launching a course simple. It suits a small team that found Moodle too heavy and can run Docker or a Frappe bench.
What it is
Courses use a three-level hierarchy of courses, chapters and lessons. Learners can be grouped into batches with Zoom live classes, take quizzes and assignments, and receive a certificate on completion.
Who it's for
It suits creators and small organisations launching their own courses. It does not suit those who need a huge plugin ecosystem or an existing course catalogue to buy from.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- Built because the author found Moodle forms lengthy and the interface confusing.
- Batches and Zoom live classes are included.
- Built-in quizzes, assignments and certificate templates.
- Docker route needs only Docker, docker-compose and git.
Where it falls short
- It sits on the Frappe framework, so non-Docker installs mean learning bench.
- A smaller project than Moodle, with fewer third-party plug-ins.
- You supply the courses and the server; there is no marketplace.
- AGPL-3.0 means sharing changes if you run a modified version as a service.
