Comment on SCORM: What you should be asking your LMS Vendor to be by Craig Weiss

Correct. However, I personally think AICC needs an update, albeit PENS came from AICC, and PENS is slick.

One thing to note, the AICC term is often used to refer to the AICC HACP standard, which while older than SCORM, offers the ability to run easily across web domains. If your LMS is going to pull in third party content from a remote server, AICC HACP support is, in some case, the only option.

YES! So my search is for an effective authoring tool and a great LMS with e-commerce capability on which to build and house highly effective learner centered web based training. Any answers?

LOL, what I felt started as just another e-learning blog “rank” that almost always gets deleted – actually made a lot of sense to me as a leader in the online corporate learning field.

Craig summarized the exasperated thoughts that have floated in my head during many online course project planning meetings with “so called experts” and articulated them (much more graciously than I might) in just one post. Good job… if anything you made me laugh today with your closing line “I’m tired of excuses”. Hear hear! Derek

They do not. One of the downsides for most online authoring systems is that you cannot output their courses into a LMS, nor can you input any other 3rd party authoring tool courses into their product. With the exception of Claro – which enables you to output to a LMS (albeit, they prefer you use their online system) and which supports PENS and SCORM, the extensive majority of online authoring systems are proprietary and thus do not use any compliance standards.

Systems like Mindflash.com or Odijoo, etc. are online authoring systems, they are not LMSs nor Lite LMSs.

I work at the Schools of Isolated and Distance Education (SIDE) in Western Australia. Founded in 1918, SIDE is the centre for distance learning within the Department of Education of Western Australia (DoE). Our school provides quality education for over 3000 students from Pre-primary to year 12 in isolated circumstances in Western Australia and beyond. SIDE provides education for students who, for various reasons, cannot attend classes in a regular school. All learning areas within the Western Australian curriculum are taught to students in all phases of learning, using a combination of synchronous (Centra web-conferencing & Video-conferencing), asynchronous (Moodle) and traditional delivery techniques (Print, CD, phone, email) in order to better engage and motivate students. We have no problems at all in engaging all school-aged students to learn online. The technology is just one part of our success. Our flexibilty in delivery and great teachers allow us to provide a programme completely online that is second to none.

[...] Freebies Amazon.com Widgets « 10 Principles of Effective Online Teaching: Best Practices in Distance State of the LMS 2012Published 20 February 2012 Via Scoop.it – The eLearning SiteFor the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. The data shows that what many vendors assume end users want is far from accurate. Too many vendors are focusing on talent/performance management as the next feature/component in their systems. While this makes sense from a revenue standpoint, there is a huge base of people who do not want any TM/PM functionality. Equally they are focusing on compliance components assuming that this is a huge upswing for an extensive list of companies. Yet, as you will see from this survey, what you assume isn’t always the case.Via elearninfo247.com [...]

No mention of SCORM. Do they allow courses created elsewhere to be uploaded?
