The platform offers tools for content creation, tests building, assignments management, reporting, internal messaging, forum, chat, surveys, calendar and others. It is a SCORM 1.2 certified and SCORM 2004 / 4th edition compliant system translated in 40 languages.
eFront is commonly included in lists of well known open-source learning systems or is referred to as a Moodle alternative.
