We teach a lot of live on-line classes for trainers on how to use various rapid e-learning tools, mobile learning etc. Late last year we began to add a class on how to use SharePoint. We noticed a lot of our clients using this as a way to manage scripts, and content reviews but also they began to use folders and libraries to manage training content too.
If you think about it, for the basic functions that an LMS provides, managing user's access to content, scheduling classes, posting discussion boards, SharePoint can do all of this and it allows for a more collaborative exchange in an a platform that most users are comfortable with.
So we thought-- hmmm I wonder if you could configure a plug in of some sort to piggy-back into SharePoint to create a more robust LMS application. Well guess what somebody already has. We found two providers that have this type of product.
One is from eLearning Force and another is from Xerceo
I have not tested either of these but a lot of folks in our class state that they don't have an LMS so why not investigate if this will support the functionality that you need.
