Use a hosted platform.
This can fit when supported lessons, assessments and reporting meet the requirements. Review plan limits, exports, account ownership and the recurring cost for the actual provider.
Resources / Platform options
Which approach fits the course you need to run?
Compare actual learner and operator tasks before choosing a platform.
Extend the existing setup.
This can fit when content and accounts are useful but one workflow needs improvement. Check how an extension affects progress records, permissions and future updates.
Build a custom workflow.
This may fit a requirement that available tools cannot support responsibly. Include content administration, reporting, support and ongoing maintenance in the comparison.
Test the decisive requirement.
In a fictional staff-training course, a manager may need a team report while learners see only their own progress. Test that requirement with sample roles before moving the whole catalog.
