In the rapidly evolving landscape of online education, aspiring educators and institutions seeking to share their knowledge have two primary avenues to choose from: Online Course Marketplaces and Self-Hosted LMS. Online Course Marketplaces serve as virtual market hubs where instructors can offer their courses to a diverse audience, leveraging the marketplace’s existing user base and infrastructure. On the other hand, Self-Hosted LMS platforms empower creators to have complete control over the delivery and management of their courses through a personally maintained online platform.
