BLX LXMS vs edu-sharing

BLX LXMS is a digital learning content management platform for organisations that design, produce, review, deliver and evaluate learning materials. It connects content versions with reviews, approvals, releases and delivery, while helping teams inventory, version, patch, translate and review existing SCORM content. Authors can create, import, manage and embed H5P activities such as interactive video, quizzes, drag-and-drop exercises, branching scenarios, dialogue cards and learning journals. The platform complements an LMS: the LMS can continue handling courses, users, enrolments and certificates while LXMS manages learning content and usage data. It supports LTI 1.3, xAPI, cmi5 and an integrated Learning Record Store, with analytics relating interactions, video tracking, navigation, progress and completion to content structure and releases. Built on TYPO3, it provides roles, permissions, workflows, multilingual content, versioning and extensions. Deployment can be managed or self-hosted, with managed hosting in Germany or elsewhere in the EU. Pricing is on request.

edu-sharing connects learning platforms and educational software so organizations can share learning content, metadata, and tools across connected systems. It combines an educational cloud, OER search, and cloud storage for learning materials, tools, and teaching scenarios. Users can create private, shared, and editorial collections and control who may use them. Listed plug-ins cover Moodle, ILIAS, MediaWiki, TYPO3, and OpenOLAT; connectors are available for OnlyOffice and ONYX Editor. Identity connections include LDAP, Shibboleth, and SSO, and a REST API follows the OpenAPI Specification. Organizations can install edu-sharing on their own servers and adapt it to their requirements. The product is open source and free to download. Service partners offer hosting, installation, configuration, updates, training, and support. Its Android and iOS app requires an accessible edu-sharing repository with rendering service and an account. The maker describes offerings for schools, universities, public authorities, businesses, and associations.
