Looking for open-source free LMS, preferably online
Hello articulate community,
We currently do not have an LMS to record assessment and evaluation results, nor track participant progress. Our aim is to build a business case for our business to invest in one, but in the meantime I was hoping to use a free open source LMS to assist in building this case by providing working demonstrations of the benefits. Prerferably one that is online/
Can anyone assist with some reccomendations? Please ask if you need more info from me.
Cheers
Damian

Lance,
I don't know if you're still checking this thread, but I really want to thank you for mentioning SCORM Cloud...it's exactly what I needed so that I could test my student project and link to it from my portfolio. It also fits within my student budget...free!
Many thanks,
Joy
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a free LMS with analytics such as student activity timelines.
Can you help me?
Thank you!
See my post about Canvas further down this feed. It can do both of those.

Hey Damian,
Dave Moxon did a nice little blog series not too long ago on open-source LMS options. These are the ones that he reviewed:
Another good idea is to check into Articulate Online, which although it isn't free, you can get a 30-day free trial so that you can give it a test drive and try out all the reporting & tracking features. It's really easy to use, too.
Docebo is great, however, 4.5 was the last release before they went cloud based.
Correction... 4.6 was released, however, only of few of us got it before they stopped releasing it altogether.
Hi Dennis.Do you have that 4.6 as the only one I can find is 4.05 for Docebo.
Regards
Thomas

I have been using Scorm Cloud as a testing environment for my Articulate projects.
Canvas is a full LMS with really cool feature like Speedgrader, discussions, outcomes and rubrics, quizzes and quiz banks, and modules. The LMS is built on wiki pages, so it's fun and easy to use.
You can create free courses by just signing up as a "teacher" in the "Free for Teacher" instance. (You don't have to be affiliated with an institution.)
Canvas can now work with SCORM, although I'm not sure if this feature is available in the Free-for-Teacher instance of Canvas.

AdaptiveU is one great LMS and its free. http://www.adaptiveyou.com. It has great features, like live messaging, reports, notifications and much more.
I think Moodle should be perfect for you. It is easy to install and can be easily customized, with all the necessary features.
There's another thing which I came across. It's called QuoDeck. It's not exactly an LMS, but works in some cases.
It is a game-based presentation creator, which allows you to use games in your courses. One can share it will selected users, track now of users and all. It works in case of freelance trainers who can track their training for free.
Chalkup is the best free LMS I've come across. It's a lot like Google Classroom, but way more functionality. Recommend.
I just tried to look at Chalkup but it requires that I choose a school which I don't want to do.
Hello Damian,
I will suggest you, use Beetsol, which is a fully featured SCORM-compliant LMS that provides the infrastructure for enterprise training and management needs also it has a very nice user-interface design for your admin and users.
It is the best LMS which easily allows you to build courses, import SCORM content, deploy online learning, manage users, communicate with users, track training results, and more.Thanks,
John.Hello,
I am agreeing with all the peoples, those recommended Moodle LMS for e-Learning. Nowadays it got evolutionary scope for students or learners. Then the question arises who is providing the best free Moodle LMS, make it live. And enhances the visibility of your online courses or training.
My research says that the best LMS provider options are DomainRacer, LearnDash and Thinkable. DomainRacer Tutor LMS specializes in offering the best solutions for enrolling students, creating reports, attachments, certification generation, participation, installation and many more.
Moreover, they offer easy to use interface for your students or users. So Design Moodle according to your customization. And gives the shape to it as you want.
