ELMS

ELMS stands for e-Learning Management System. ELMS is a completely open source project built on top of the Drupal Content Management System. Drupal is one of the largest open source communities in existence today and gives developers access to thousands of community contributed and supported modules and themes.

ELMS is a configuration of Drupal that combines community modules with modules and themes developed by the e-learning Institute. The result is an incredibly powerful content management system that is geared towards the design and deployment of instructional materials.

ELMS reduces technical barriers for instructional designers and faculty through the use of outlining and page creation tools. Staff no longer has to worry about where to upload files or if they structured an HTML document correctly as ELMS manages file locations and menus dynamically.

ELMS is a staff empowerment system built "For instructional designers, by instructional designers."

There are over 53 community modules, themes, and features that have been released as a result of the ELMS initiative since 2008! To see a list of them see btopro's d.o. user profile or drupal.psu.edu's feature server for a list of modules created by Penn State for the drupal community.
