Adapt Learning vs Lumi Education

Adapt Learning is a free e-learning authoring tool and framework for making responsive HTML5 learning content. Course creators can use its no-code authoring tool to build courses, add interactive elements, preview content, and publish without programming. Developers can use the Adapt Framework as an extensible toolkit, with courses delivered from a web server or through a SCORM-compliant learning management system. Framework features include LMS user data, completion tracking, assessments, question banks, randomized questions, and configurable feedback. It supports multiple languages, localization, and right-to-left layouts, and states that it meets WAI AA accessibility standards. The framework includes 22 bundled plugins; additional community plugins include SCORM tracking and xAPI extensions. Installation options include Adapt-CLI, a ZIP download from GitHub, or cloning the repository with Git. Setup requires Git, Node.js and NPM, Grunt-CLI, and Adapt-CLI. Documentation and a technical community forum are available for support. The project relies on collaborator time donations and does not publish specific release schedules.

Lumi Education lets educators create, edit, host, and share interactive H5P learning content. H5P activities can include quizzes, interactive videos, presentations, and games. Content can be shared by direct link, embedded widget, or QR code, and exported as HTML, SCORM, or H5P files. Lumi says H5P content can integrate with platforms such as Moodle, WordPress, and Drupal. Its free, open-source desktop editor creates, edits, and previews H5P content offline on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Lumi Cloud deployments collect learner interactions and answers, stored individually within each deployment. The platform is hosted in the EU, with core application data stored in Frankfurt, Germany. Lumi describes GDPR-aligned safeguards including data minimization, privacy by design, encrypted connections, restricted production access, updates, and monitoring. The free plan allows unlimited content and includes HTML, SCORM, and H5P export, with a 15 MB per-file upload limit. Pro raises the file limit to 500 MB and adds individual feedback; listed prices are $10 a month or $100 a year.
