Overview

This free template empowers you to build a fully functional Learning Management System (LMS) from scratch. Designed for educators, HR teams, and creators, it combines video content delivery, progress tracking, and learner engagement into one cohesive platform. The template has been build based on the Softr Academy.

Unlike rigid off-the-shelf course platforms, this system is built on Softr, allowing you to customize every aspect of your learning environment—from how you structure modules to how you interact with students. It comes pre-loaded with a sample structure for courses and lessons, so you can immediately start organizing your educational content and onboarding users.

Why use this LMS template

Intuitive learning paths: The system automatically organizes content for the user, featuring a "Remaining Lessons" view to focus on new material and a "Watch Again" playlist for revisiting completed topics.
Foster community engagement: Built-in comment functionality on course pages allows learners to ask questions, provide feedback, and discuss material, turning passive viewing into active participation.
Centralized content management: Whether for internal employee training or public courses, this template acts as a single source of truth where students can browse catalogs, watch videos, and track their own completion status.

Course Library

Frequently asked questions

What is an LMS?
A Learning Management System (LMS) is a central hub for delivering and tracking educational content. It allows you to organize your courses, showcase lesson progress, and engage learners through comments and completion tracking, replacing scattered files with a structured learning environment.
Can I use this for internal company training?
Absolutely. This template is highly popular for internal use cases like employee onboarding or compliance training. Because it supports "Logged-in User" roles, you can ensure that only your employees have access to the course material.
How does the progress tracking work?
The template includes a logic layer that tracks individual user interactions. When a student marks a lesson as "Complete," the system updates their profile. This powers the dynamic lists, ensuring the "Remaining Lessons" view removes that video and adds it to the "Watch Again" list automatically.
Is this suitable for video courses?
Yes. The lesson detail pages are optimized for video content. You can embed videos from popular hosts (like YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia), and students can watch them directly within the lesson page before marking them as complete.
Can students interact with each other?
Yes. To prevent learning from being a solitary experience, this template includes a comment section on course pages. This allows students to ask clarifying questions, share insights, or engage in discussions with the course instructor.
Why use a no-code LMS template instead of an existing solution?
Standard course platforms can be expensive and limit how you display your content. A no-code LMS built on Softr gives you total design freedom and data ownership. You can integrate it with your existing tools (like Airtable or Google Sheets) and avoid high monthly fees per user as your student base grows.
