02687.com is written and maintained by a small independent editorial team covering learning management systems and self-hosted EdTech infrastructure.
How we work. Our buyer’s guides compare LMS platforms using the vendors’ own documentation and published pricing, aggregated user reviews from sites like G2 and Capterra, and recurring themes in community forums and issue trackers. Our technical guides are built from official documentation, release notes, and known issues. We use AI tools to help research and draft articles; every guide is checked against its sources before publication, and we cite where the facts come from.
What we don’t claim. We don’t present ourselves as having deployed every platform we cover for paying clients. When a recommendation rests on documentation and public user feedback rather than our own testing, we write it that way.
Independence. We are not affiliated with Moodle HQ, Instructure, or any LMS vendor, and we don’t accept payment for favorable coverage. See our review methodology for details.
