Continuing on from my earlier posts: LMS Selection Presentation Reformulated LMS Selection Team and Stakeholders LMS Selection Process From several comments and from looking at my list of issues, I realize that writing a good LMS RFP is challenging and it's easy to make lots of mistakes.

Blackboard has done well for us although I am not pleased with their support of the SCORM standards. I would like to be able to export SCORM test results by user/by question but all Blackboard seems to support is general pass/fail records. First, it appears that they are getting question level data in the LMS. That's good.

While there are a lot of different Learning Management Systems with very different features, the requirements in this situation are a bit different. So here are some of the requirements I see for this customer that are a bit different from what you would find in a normal corporate LMS RFP. Authoring Support or SCORM?

Where does SCORM fit into the picture? Should we demand that our product support SCORM? In terms of SCORM, Almost always the answer is yes, authoring tools need to support it. Do you ever plan to track it in an LMS? But don't most tools support SCORM at this point?I Should we support Flash? Bill, I hear you.

I will want to have a simple menu system to break up the content into chunks. And I may eventually, but not initially, want to be able to track them under an LMS, i.e., have SCORM tracking. Also every screen would have audio (voiceover with my voice) accompanying it. I have been looking into various tools.

Most LMS products (out-of-the-box) require you to search, register and then launch the course. If you want the content to be searchable through your Intranet search mechanism, most LMS products get in your way (even though the content may be easily indexed by the search mechanism). It makes you yearn for the days of SCORM 1.1

Learning scoffs at mergers of companies and at specifications like CORDRA and SCORM. We can use methodologies and technologies that seem to have a positive impact on peoples' ability to learn; but we are NOT selling learning. So let's freakin' STOP talking about learning like its a product. Can you send me one?

Here's a recent one to get me started: Is it mandatory to use SCORM while developing an E-learning Software? SCORM is as close as you get to Mandatory in the world of eLearning. You want to implement your courseware to the SCORM standard if you plan to have it launched and/or tracked under an LMS.

Based on an earlier post - Tools for On-Demand Information - An LMS? , Then today, I saw a post on TrDev about tracking without an LMS and thought I should maybe clarify what I often see as the choices around tracking: a.
