The Problem:

Organizations around the world need to manage e-Learning. The leading standard for the communication between the content and the Learning Management System (LMS) is the SCORM Runtime Environment. Tracker.Net applies the awesome power of ASP.NET and Microsoft® SQL Server™ to this task. Come join customers like Circle K, British Airways, American Signature, L-3 Communications, St. Francis Healthcare, various government agencies, and many more!

My Courses Screen Tracker Scheduler Application

The Solution:

Tracker.Net implements all mandatory and optional communication elements listed in the SCORM 1.2 and 2004 Runtime Environment Specification. Rather than messing with SCORM manifest files, you use Tracker.Net's Administrator interface to define lesson locations, organize lessons into courses, set passing scores, and more. You can even set lesson and course completion status via the Administrator in addition to having it set automatically via SCORM. Tracker.Net manages ToolBook HTML, Flash, Dreamweaver, Lectora, Captivate, ASP.NET, and any other content that can communicate via SCORM.

System Requirements:

Web Server
 Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or later
 Windows® 2000 or later
 .NET Framework 2.0 (runtime)
Database
 Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 or later
Browser

 Newer versions of Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox

User Comments
The configuration tool offered by Platte Canyon is really easy to use so you don't have to be an expert to install Tracker.
I found this LMS very easy to set up, both on a localhost machine as well as then moving the files to a Web Server. Once I got IIS up and running on a Windows 2000 machine, and installed a Developer's version of Microsoft SQL 2000, it was just a matter of hours to download, install, and configure Tracker.Net. After learning how to set up Organizations, Classes, Courses, and Students, I was a few hours away from developing some ToolBook content to test locally.
The simple-to-use interface means students can concentrate on the learning material rather than having to worry about how to navigate the LMS and how to launch the course.
I'm dead impressed with what I've seen so far with Tracker.Net. I think you could have a real winner here. I have spent several tens of hours trying to source alternatives to Tracker (just to see what's out there and how it compares). Without exception, the products on offer are overblown and overpriced. And the customer service is non-existent. None of the airlines I deal with would be prepared to pay the 10's of thousands per year that the likes of [the big LMS's] require and perhaps more importantly even big companies like this can't be bothered to get their heads around such complicated systems.
