I'm scratching my head too. >From what I've been reading, an LMS is really a 'testing' management system. It serves out content from the CMS and then collects and stores test grades, student results, etc. Is that a fair overgeneralization? ;o) If that's true, then Andre's approach seems to make a lot more sense than SCORM, but maybe I'm missing out on the true benefits of SCORM. The 'content chunking' concept probably plays into that I imagine. At this point, at least for our organization, our 'eLearning' seems to consist of: - Online content - Tests The first can easily be handled by the CMS. If we need to track who does what, I can't see that being anything more than a simple form requesting for a person's ID and a table to store it in. The tests, on the other hand, may be what the LMS would be useful for, though it seems in our case that an LMS would be overkill. We could easily whip up our own test engine I'd imagine. But that's just our situation, of course. I imagine an LMS is great at a university setting or any large corporation where required training is in effect. -Darrel -- http://cms-list.org/ more signal, less noise.
