Just stumbled upon the SCORM Cloud plugin for WordPress. At first glance and a review of the web site, It looks like a very cool plugin that has basic LMS type features. It allows you to deliver learning and evaluation resources with your WordPress site and track usage. Combined with a good community and CMS plugin, you could really build out a lightweight LMS on top of WordPress. This could be great for organizations that don’t need all the bells and whistles of an enterprise level LMS and want to keep the investment at a minimum. The SCORM Cloud plugin is free. I’ll be digging in to the plugin a bit deeper over the next few days and will report my findings.
Learngevity provides learning and development services to businesses of all sizes, including consultation on open source software that can help organizations manage and deliver their learning content.
Thanks for checking out the SCORM Cloud plugin stuff. We’re big fans of WordPress (our entire site runs on it), so it made a lot of sense to combine our product with it as an example of the disparate kinds of systems that could be an “LMS”.
Lest your readers be misled, the plugin is free, as is a trial SCORM Cloud account. A SCORM Cloud account with broader usage will require a paid account, though.
Thanks again.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our SCORM Cloud WordPress plugin. Let us know if you have any questions.
