Published: 19 June 2025

Companies, training organisations, independent trainers... are you looking for the best e-learning platform?

Also known as an LMS (Learning Management System), this type of tool is used to centralise your teaching resources and create customised learning paths.

Whether you're talking about distance or face-to-face lessons, the success of your training depends on your choice of solution: your software must be adopted by both trainers and learners.

So which platform should you choose? Find out in our comparison of 10 LMS software packages.

NB: all prices quoted in this article were taken as at March 2025.

What is an e-learning platform?

An e-learning platform is defined as a digital workspace in which an instructor makes courses available to learners. We tell you more in our article dedicated to e-learning and its fundamentals.

We also talk about :

  • e-learning solution,
  • LMS, for Learning Management System.

The content hosted on these tools is varied:

  • texts
  • photos
  • diagrams
  • videos or animations, etc.

These solutions also support several learning formats. You will no doubt have heard of MOOCs( Massive Online Open Courses), e-learning courses open to all.

There are also COOCs (Corporate Online Open Course), when a company offers digital learning to its employees, but also to its customers, suppliers or even job applicants.

💡 These platforms can be used as part of Blended Learning, or hybrid learning, to complement physical courses.

The benefits of an e-learning platform

🧑‍🏫 For trainers/companies:

  • offer a complete, well-organised curriculum ;
  • use a variety of media;
  • communicate easily with an individual or a group, regardless of geographical distance;
  • train your new employees, which is good for your employer brand, etc.

👩‍🎓 For learners/employees :

  • adapt courses to their own pace ;
  • follow courses synchronously or asynchronously (deferred);
  • the possibility of going back to a lesson if a concept has not been assimilated;
  • learning from anywhere, on any device (computer, tablet, smartphone), etc.

👉 Another significant advantage for users is the ability to give or follow lessons in a pleasant, easy-to-use environment, without having to worry about the form, because the platform does it for you.
