OnlineModulen

OnlineModulen is a cloud-based platform for delivering modular online learning content and assessments. It enables educators to assemble courses from discrete units, called modules, and allows learners to progress along customizable learning paths. The platform supports creation, publishing, and tracking of modules, quizzes, assignments, and analytics.

Core features include a modular authoring environment, media-rich content support, adaptive learning paths, assessments with automatic grading, and reporting dashboards. It emphasizes interoperability through standards such as LTI and SCORM, single sign-on, multilingual content, and accessibility compliance. The system is mobile-friendly and offers offline access through companion apps.

Architecture and deployment: It is a software-as-a-service product hosted in cloud infrastructure. It uses an API-first design, microservices, and data isolation. It stores module metadata, learner progress, and assessment results in secure databases. It integrates with existing learning management systems and identity providers via LTI and SSO, and can export or import modules in standard formats.

History and usage: OnlineModulen was developed by OnlineModulen Ltd., with an initial launch in 2018. Since then it has been adopted by educational institutions and corporate training programs to support modular curricula, collaboration among authors, versioning of modules, and audit trails for compliance.

Reception and critique: Proponents cite flexibility, reuse of content, and faster curriculum updates. Critics point to licensing costs, potential feature overload for smaller organizations, and the need for governance to manage module catalogs and quality control.
