Grid® for Learning Management System | Winter 2018
Learning Management System (LMS) Software
Learning Management System (LMS) Software Definition
Learning management systems (LMSs) are software platforms for instructors to manage and organize educational courses online and provide students a single location for all course material. LMSs are used to help streamline information between educational institutions and students over the internet, allowing for increased learning capabilities that are more accessible to the general public.
LMSs are comprised of a document management component and communication capability, allowing teachers to upload course files such as rubrics, assignments, calendars, and gradebooks, as well as communicate with students via chatrooms or forums. Many LMSs may also offer online assessment functionality, such as quizzes and tests, or offer features that integrate multimedia components such as videos and photos. Students can use LMSs to submit assignments, and many platforms allow instructors to grade assignments within the platform. LMSs work in concert with other educational platforms, such as student information systems (SISs), to deliver multiple e-learning solutions. While SISs help manage and document student data, LMS focuses on delivering online courses or training to learners.
To qualify for inclusion in the LMS category, a product must:
- Deliver online course content to learners
- Have scheduling and tracking capabilities
- Be able to integrate with content creation platforms

Grid® Methodology
Grid® Rating Methodology
The Grid® represents the democratic voice of real software users, rather than the subjective opinion of one analyst. G2 Crowd rates LMSs algorithmically based on data sourced from product reviews shared by G2 Crowd users and data aggregated from online sources and social networks.
Technology buyers can use the Grid® to help them quickly select the best LMSs for their businesses and to find peers with similar experiences. For vendors, media, investors, and analysts, the Grid® provides benchmarks for product comparison and market trend analysis.
Grid® Scoring Methodology
G2 Crowd rates products and vendors based on reviews gathered from our user community, as well as data aggregated from online sources and social networks. We apply a unique, patent-pending algorithm to this data to calculate the product strength and scores in real time. The Winter 2018 LMS Grid® Report is based off of scores calculated using the G2 Crowd algorithm v2.0 from reviews collected through November 6, 2017. To view the LMS Grid® with the most recent data, please visit the LMS page.
The Satisfaction rating is affected by the following (in order of importance):
- Customer satisfaction with end user-focused product attributes based on user reviews
- Popularity and statistical significance based on the number of reviews received by G2 Crowd
- Quality of reviews received (reviews that are more thoroughly completed will be weighted more heavily)
- Age of reviews (more-recent reviews provide relevant and up-to-date information that is reflective of the current state of a product)
- Customers' satisfaction with administration-specific product attributes based on user reviews
- Overall customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score® (NPS) based on ratings by G2 Crowd users
The Market Presence score is affected by the following (in order of importance):
- Product market presence
- Number of employees for product (based on social networks and public sources)
- Number of product reviews
- Product social impact based on factors including Twitter followers and domain authority
- Vendor market presence
- Number of employees for parent company (based on social networks and public resources)
- Vendor momentum based on web traffic and search trends
- Vendor social impact based on Klout score and Twitter followers
- Age of company (number of years in operation)
- Employee satisfaction and engagement (based on social network ratings)
Grid® Categorization Methodology
Making G2 Crowd research relevant and easy for people to use as they evaluate and select business software products is one of our most important goals. In support of that goal, organizing products and software companies in a well-defined structure that makes capturing, evaluating, and displaying reviews and other research in an orderly manner is a critical part of the research process.
To manage the process of categorizing the software products and the related reviews in the G2 community, G2 Crowd follows a publicly available categorization methodology. All LMSs appearing on the Grid® have passed through G2 Crowd's categorization methodology and meet G2 Crowd's category standards.
Many terms that appear regularly across G2 Crowd and are used to aid in product categorization warrant a definition to facilitate buyer understanding. These terms may be included within reviews from the G2 community or in executive summaries for products included on the Grid®. A list of standard definitions is available to G2 Crowd users to eliminate confusion and ease the buying process.
Rating Changes and Dynamics
The ratings in this report are based on a snapshot of the user reviews and social data collected by G2 Crowd up through November 6, 2017. The ratings may change as the products are further developed, the vendors grow, and as additional opinions are shared by users. G2 Crowd updates the ratings on its website in real time as additional data is received, and this report will be updated as significant data is received. By improving their products and support and/or by having more satisfied customer voices heard, Contenders may become Leaders and Niche vendors may become High Performers.
Trust
Keeping our ratings unbiased is our top priority. We require the use of a LinkedIn account to validate a G2 Crowd user’s identity and employer. Additionally, we verify all reviews manually. We do not allow users to rate their employers’ products or those of their employers’ competitors. Though we share reviews from business partners (they often contain valuable content), we filter out business partner ratings in our aggregate ratings to avoid bias.
Our G2 Crowd staff does not add any subjective input to the ratings, which are determined algorithmically based on data aggregated from publicly available online sources and social networks. Vendors cannot influence their ratings by spending time or money with us. Only the opinion of real users and data from public sources factor into the ratings.
Grid® Inclusion Criteria
All products in a G2 Crowd category that have at least 10 reviews from real users of the product are included on the Grid®. Inviting other users, such as colleagues and peers, to join G2 Crowd and share authentic product reviews will accelerate this process.
If an LMS is not yet listed on G2 Crowd and it fits the market definition above, then users are encouraged to suggest its addition to our LMS category.
