How do you intergate eLearning and wordpress?

Feb 01, 2011

Hi all, I've been playing with wordpress/buddypress lately and I love all the social media widgets and plug-ins. I've also fiddled with scormcloud, to take the learning to the learners, rather than make them come to an LMS.

What I'd really like to do, is launch the eLearning inside a page in wordpress. that way all the great tools like twitter/facebook/chat/voting/reviews etc.... all this amazing stuff you can do with wordpress, would be at their fingertips and available around the learning. What I don't want is the eLearning to launch in a new window, thus forcing learners to tab between the wordpress site and the eLearning windows.

Has anyone done this before? any ideas?

cheers

Dave

Good Stuff Steve, using existing wordpress features and database structures is smart thinking. I'm not a programmer, but this all sounds doable. How would we go about getting it built, maybe post a spec on the wordpress forums and see who might be willing to build it?

For series completion tracking, could add a group identifier... This would help in sorting reporting and pulling tracking reports to establish progression displays.

userID  |  user_name  |  lesson_group  | bookmark  |  suspend_data  |  attempt_count  |  completion_status  |  session_duration 

This stuff could be pulled into a readable XML structure for both the user progress displays and sortable completion reports.
