Sorry...but I forgot to say...the importance of the IMS/SCORM comlpliance of dotLRN cannot be underestimated!

So I really appreciate Ernie's work. Your contribution will have a share in making the platform even stronger.

I made a analysis of major evaluations of LMS software and definetly the key criteria is the compliance to standards to guarantee content provider the independance they need to develop expensive content to the IT department to justify the decision they take for a platform

Here are the evaluations I analyzed.

I stopped the analysis in summer last year. I already received copies of newer ones but had no time to add those to the list. Some of the evaluations are in German language. Also some links might be broken since I don't keep them updated.

For those interested in the data of the evaluation please send me an email
