HOWSPACE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO MOODLE
What’s the difference between
Moodle and Howspace?

Moodle is a learning management platform
As an LMS, Moodle supports companies and educational institutions in delivering a variety of content-first learning and training programs.
This makes Moodle a great solution for organizations that need to quickly train individuals and maintain organizational standards through linear, compliance-driven programs.

Howspace is a collaborative
learning platform
Like Moodle, you can also deliver training and development programs through Howspace. However, Howspace goes beyond practical skills development that is usually delivered through a traditional LMS or LXP.
Howspace blends the interactivity of social media with personalized learning journeys seamlessly embedded into participants’ daily workflows — ensuring engagement and real-world application. All within a secure, private space.
Howspace is a great fit for organizations such as
Corporate Companies
Consulting & Training Services
Associations & Trade Unions
