Hi Chris - there are a couple of ways you can track slides viewed without an LMS, but you'll need to have access to your server's web stats or weblog. Without use of the SDK, you can insert a small web object (uniquely named) on each slide--with the object placed completely offscreen. This approach is completely transparent to the user, but the web object will register in the web stats when the associated slide is viewed. But once again, you would need access to the web stats for this to work.
To track time viewed, you'd need the SDK and additional database development. The SDK has a GetCurrentSlide() and GetCurrentPResentationTim() variable that you'd need to access. Again, this is all possible without LMS, but in many ways you're building out features of an LMS to handle this kind of tracking.
