Edonis
The modern open-source alternative to Moodle.
An LMS rethought from scratch for today's institutions. Built in the open.
E-learning deserves better
- Moodle has dominated for 20 years. Its interface hasn't kept up.
- Technical complexity that slows institutions instead of serving them.
- An experience that's neither fluid nor responsive — the limits of legacy.
- AI bolted on as an afterthought, never designed into the architecture.
Learn from the past without being stuck in it
Edonis starts from a clean slate with the right technical choices and a clear vision: building the LMS institutions have been waiting for, with the open-source community.
The project is under construction. No empty promises — concrete commitments and open development.
Our commitments
-
Open source
Self-hostable, transparent, no vendor lock-in. Apache 2.0 license.
-
Modern UX
Fluid and responsive interface, designed for today's workflows.
-
AI-native
Artificial intelligence in the architecture, not bolted on as a plugin.
-
Sustainable
Eco-designed from the start. Performance without waste.
-
Accessible
Built for all learners, everywhere. Mobile-first.
-
Community-driven
Built to be adopted and contributed to by institutions.
Open source by conviction
Education is a common good. Its digital infrastructure should be too. Edonis is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license — free to use, modify and distribute.
Not a business model, a conviction: transparency builds trust, community builds longevity.
Where are we?
