Community Code Of Conduct

Welcome to the Open LMS Community, your place to connect with others to get answers quickly, learn about how others are using Open LMS, share successes (and challenges!) and collaborate around the future of learning.

We’re excited that you’re here because we believe that we all benefit from a healthy, vibrant community, and we value your contributions.

Please read through the guidelines below before posting or commenting. All users are expected to be familiar with them and will be held accountable for following them.

Community Code of Conduct

We support an open and friendly environment in our  community.

• Encourage others (especially those that are new!)
• Share what you know, help others and ask about what you don't know
• Provide constructive, helpful answers and feedback
• Give enough detail (defaulting to "more detail" is usually the right choice), including screenshots and links if needed
• Have some fun!
