Many times some clients asked me about how to set up their existing Microsoft SharePoint server as a Learning Management System to implement eLearning instantly, such as they want to “Make SCORM Compliant Quiz for LMS to Evaluate Online Learning Performance“. Actually the key points the SharePoint users want are: content management, instructor/learner workflows, and assignment, tracking and grading learning content. As we cannot directly rebuild SharePoint anyway, Microsoft SharePoint Learning Kit could be the enough solution.

As a project in CodePlex, SharePoint Learning Kit is a SCORM 2004 certified e-learning delivery and tracking application built as a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 solution. We know that, with the SCORM package support, we can do a lot of e-learning activities on the server: assigning courses & assessments, tracking status and scores.

Certainly, the SCORM support learning kit for SharePoint is still under development, so we cannot seriously compare Microsoft SharePoint with industry leading LMS such as Blackboard. Besides, if you’re looking for the results reporting solution for online assessment, just refer to Report Wisely: Make Sense of Your Online Assessment Results.
