Abstract: Community development is an academic discipline as well as a practice-based profession that promotes sustainable development, participative democracy, equality and rights. e-Learning platforms are media that allow the use of a computer-based educational tool or system in learning anywhere and at any time. This study focused on e-Learning platforms that can facilitate the study of community development as an academic discipline and practice-based profession. It is worth noting that no meaningful progress can be made today in solving human problems without using the internet and online platforms. Therefore, the importance of e-Learning platforms in community development cannot be overemphasized. Several e-Learning platforms for the study of community development include Teachable, WizIQ, Ruzuku, Educadium, Thinkific, Academy of Mine, CourseCraft and Skillshare. These tools are relevant for both educators and prospective students interested in community development specialty.
