A course management application is a web or mobile app that enables the creation, organization, and delivery of educational content. Course management apps typically provide features for teachers to create courses and upload course materials such as lecture videos. The app may also include tools for students to take exams, submit homework assignments, and view their grades.

Course management apps are similar to other educational apps, like language learning apps, reading tutorial apps, and test preparation apps. Some of the most notable course management applications include Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, and Schoology.

Course management apps often grow by leveraging the existing network of their users. These apps typically have a small user base at the beginning, but when students or faculty members refer the app to each other, it's easier to grow rapidly. The key is to create incentives for sharing the app, such as offering free credits to new users who sign up through a referral. Some apps also benefit from featuring well-known professors or speakers in their marketing materials.

A course management app faces risks associated with the handling of students’ personal information, user account security, and the potential transfer of intellectual property (including copyright) to third parties. Course management apps should take measures to ensure that student data is kept private and secure, and that students are aware of their ability to revoke consent for it being used for any purpose (including marketing). It is also recommended that developers ensure that they do not provide access to courses in a way that would violate the license under which they are made available.
