LearnHouse

LearnHouse is an open-source LMS for building and selling courses, with a block editor, quizzes, auto-graded code, communities, podcasts, Stripe payments at 0% platform fees, AI quiz generation and self-hosting.

LearnHouse is an open-source learning platform that combines course authoring, community forums, payments and AI assistance in a single web application. The core premise is that anyone, whether an independent creator, a school or a company training team, should be able to stand up a branded academy quickly and keep full control of the underlying code and learner data. Content is assembled in a block editor that mixes text, video, code, quizzes, embeds and file downloads on one page, so a lesson does not have to be split across several tools. In practice, the platform covers the whole teaching loop rather than just page building. Courses hold unlimited lessons across modules, learners can be assessed through quizzes and auto-graded coding exercises, and progress and completion are tracked per learner in real time. Communities add threaded forums with upvotes and moderation, while podcasts can be hosted and distributed to directories such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Monetization runs through a creator's own Stripe account, so the platform takes no cut of course revenue, and the interface ships translated into 19 languages. The AI layer is practical rather than decorative: it can generate a quiz from lesson material, produce summaries, and act as a study assistant for learners. White-labeling is built in, with custom domain, logo and colors, and the product can be self-hosted with a single command so data stays on infrastructure the operator owns. Enterprise plans add multi-tenancy, SSO and OIDC, role-based access control, audit logs and SCORM importing for existing course libraries. LearnHouse sits between hosted course marketplaces, which keep a share of sales and control the branding, and general-purpose site builders, which lack grading, learner tracking and commerce. It competes most directly with closed-source LMS products, and its open-source licence plus REST API and CLI make it the more extensible option for developers and IT teams. Administrators who want a hosted experience can use the cloud offering instead of managing a deployment.
