Would Moodle potentially be a solution? I have not worked with it recently but a few years ago I found it pretty easy to work with.
I don't have anything useful to say about the other products.

Hello,

I'm exploring online teaching platforms for classes that AHEAD might teach that are a mix of asynchronous and synchronous content.

Do you have thoughts on these products in relation to accessibility both for the students and instructors?

Kajabi
Teach:Able
Thinkific
Podia

Is there another that you might recommend? I'm looking for easy-to-use platforms. AHEAD probably wouldn't be able to use Blackboard and some of those more costly ones.

Thank you for your thoughts.
