In the last few years, Learning-Management-Systems (LMS) changed more and more to LCMS, e.g. classical CMS functions were integrated.
WebGUI could react to this development by integrating more LMS functionality.

How about that?

Very interesting. I could easily see this used in a staff-briefing intranet site.

We have an internal project that was put on hold last year to develop a LMS. Being able to do this within WebGUI would be VERY interesting to us.

(I have already entered my vote in your poll....)

What you mean by

Being able to do this ...

 THIS, ofcourse is the interesting question.

Another way around: What do you think, WebGUI does not or
can not provide (yet)?

SCORM 1.2/2 compatibility ok, but tracking and reporting can be done.  SCORM content imports shouldn't be a too big problem.

Anything else?

It gets even more interesting when we aren't really sure what we want or need at this point. We put the project on hold when it became apparent that getting a worldwide database containing our 1,000 employees would be....helpful, to say the least....when the time comes to implement some sort of LMS.

At this point, we don't even know what we don't know in the realm of LMSs. Our initial push was going to be mainly focused on tracking class offerings, signups, completed training hours....the very basics.

However, we certainly want to keep our eye on future solutions and integrations, so we don't lock ourselves into a path that doesn't allow us to move to a different solution. (I suppose I should say "move to a different solution easily," as it's always possible to move to something else, even if the transition involves re-keying everything.)

SCORM is probably something we need to keep an eye on, but certainly isn't the driving force with anything we're doing at this point.

Did I actually answer anything you were wondering about?

I recognize your situation.

Btw.: I came to WebGUI after analyzing testing capabilities/examinations and the processes to design real certifications on a lot of - Open-Source and commercial - LMSs and realized a test engine with WG 5.


At this point, we don't even know what we don't know in the realm of LMSs.


Have a look or try with e.g. Dokeos or Moodle and try to imagine, what you would (have to) do, if you would miss something.
Then think about doing that with WebGUI.

For me, WebGUI was more flexible to extend.

Today, in the 7.x-version, I see almost all the main features of a LMS as realizable. To find out, if I could be right and/or other people are thinking about that too, I started this thread.

Your reaction and the TheSeparator's good idea don't give a reason to stop thinking about this issue.

Just a first try to generate courses  from a pdf-file (as a CS):

http://webgui-professional.de/lcms

Visiting is tracked and could be reported by SQL-Reports
