Hi Igor,

A Wordpress-based LMS should give you a nice start and allow you to customize the look and allow you to host courses using a few plugins:

- Grassblade xAPI Companion (paid): this will allow you to upload and link to some courses built in Storyline, Captivate, and when there's going to be a good xAPI plugin for Adapt, you will be able to use courses made in Adapt also (there may be a suitable plugin already)

- Learndash (paid): if those course creation tools aren't available for you, Learndash is a plugin that lets you create courses right from within Wordpress.

We use both Grassblade and Learndash on our Wordpress-based LMS where I work, at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ottawa. It got us a good, flexible LMS and our learners benefit from a simple way to get to their courses.

 

Hope that helps,

Pascal Laliberté

Hi Igor,

Have you looked at Moodle, Sakai or OLAT? There are other systems but these we reviewed based on features, and at the moment we work with Moodle.

et me list out some of the striking features which you may be interested in. (now that you mentioned employees I am assuming you are a corporate. :) if its different do let know.)
