eFront LMS The Best Open Source Solution
Summary: For me it was not a surprise that Epignosis eFront LMS won the Best of Elearning! 2012 Award at the Best Open Source Solution category. It wasn't a surprise that left to Moodle and Totara LMS the Award of Excellence. eFront is by far the best Open Source Learning Management System and it seems that several professionals involved in the eLearning industry have the same opinion.

eFront LMS the Best Open Source Solution

Few days ago we created The Ultimate list of Open Source Learning Management Systems. In this list you could find 18 open source learning management systems like Moodle, Totara LMS, Sakai, etc. For me it was not a surprise that Epignosis eFront LMS won the Best of Elearning! 2012 Award at the Best Open Source Solution category.

It wasn't a surprise that left to Moodle and Totara LMS the Award of Excellence. eFront is by far the best Open Source Learning Management System and it seems that several professionals involved in the eLearning industry have the same opinion. It worths mentioned that the recipients are chosen by Elearning! and Government Elearning! magazines’ reader community via an open-ended online ballot posted each summer at http://www.2elearning.com.

The Best of Elearning! award-winners were honored at the Enterprise Learning! Conference & Expo at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, CA. Finalists in each category were honored with awards of excellence.
