What it makes
The starting criteria for a learning platform comparison, with example scores for three unnamed options to show how the weighting works. Your Room uses your own options and scores.
| Criterion (weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy for learners (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Easy to build and update courses (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Progress tracking and reports (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Cost at our learner count (4) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Quizzes and certificates (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Fits our login and HR tools (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Works well on phones (2) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.2/100 | 72/100 | 67.2/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the LMS Comparison
Does WZRD rate these products?
No. You score each option on your own criteria; WZRD only does the weighted maths and lays out the result. Check prices and features on each vendor's own site, because they change often.
Can I use it for a school and a company?
Yes. Remove the criteria that don't apply and add your own, such as gradebooks or HR integration.
