Say, if youre purchasing a course library from SkillSoft or some other vendor: If a client has their own LMS, do they purchase the courses outright and host them on their own servers? If so, is the vendor able to track usage or do they just sell the content for a flat fee based on LMS seat size? By actual usage?

eLearning vendors (those that design custom courseware) are often handed the course to be built. So the vendor scopes it out and does the design work, the storyboarding, the development work.
