Inexpensive LMS that works well with Articulate

A lot of our clients use LearnShare (learnshare.com) as their LMS. LearnShare now offers a streamlined version of their LMS which is significantly cheaper. We also do a lot of LMS admin for our clients, and working in this LMS is very intuitive, etc. Good luck.

I've used Litmos.com with pretty good success.

Hello there..

as far as I know, Training Manager is not an LMS...

Litmos.com is really good, one of the best quality/price choice. Learnshare is very popular, too...

It really depends on whether you need an hosted LMS, or you have an IT dept wanting to run a LMS inside your company...

take a look to this forum discussion: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/3469/18780.aspx#18780

Hope it helps

Hi,

I use Efront (efrontlearning.com) for most of my projects. They have both Open Source and paid versions.  It works very well with Articulate. Many others use Moodle which is also a good Open Source solution.

Kind regards

If you're an independant seller, this might be interesting. I'm not sure how long this pricing will last either, seems too reasonable and too good to be true ($39) I don't need this type of thing and I'm considering signing up just to explore it.

Moodle is open source with no licensing cost. It might require some initial investment to adapt to corporate requirements.

Totara is a Moodle distribution which is already adapted to corporate needs.

See here:

Its supports SCORM and AICC content published by Articulate, and enables reporting on e-learning results.

Hi Robert

You mentioned Litmos in your reply, we've been looking at that system. Have you any experience of using it to host elearning for multiple clients?

Hello all,

We are looking for an open source LMS that works well with SCORM 1.2 courses generated by Articulate. We don't need any group or learner-learner collaboration because our system provides certificate courses for individuals. Some courses need to meet state/federal requirements like the amount of time learners spending in the course, etc. We have strong software development resources that could customize the open source LMS. However, we would like to select the one that is easy to be customized to meet our business requirements. What LMSs do you think we should consider?

Many thanks,

-Ha

Hi, we use Moodle which works well with Articulate products. Supports SCORM 1.2 and limited 2004. The main investment is time in configuring and customising the LMS. With Module 2.x there are better themes (free!) to help Moodle look a little more exciting then it use to look!

Vispi.
