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, Syncrude Canada, YMCA of the USA, Long Island Rail Road, American Signature, Mac's Convenience Stores, L-3 Communications, St. Francis Healthcare, Copenhagen Airports, Drug Free Business, various government agencies, and many more!

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® Server 2003 or later
- .NET Framework 4.5 (runtime)
Database
- Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 or later

Comments
-
I wish I had more emails to send. The Tracker Scheduler makes it very easy.
-
For a low budget alternative, I strongly recommend Tracker.Net as the LMS. A simple setup, easy to learn how to use, and I have not found any flaws in its SCORM abilities with regards to ToolBook content deployment.
-
Tracker.Net is a terrific product.
-
I was commissioned by another client last week to download, install, set up, and document the use of Platte Canyon's Tracker.Net, then set up a server with this LMS. I just finished all of this with around $1000 in billable hours. Not bad and just proves how easy this LMS is to set up. On the ToolBook side, nothing of any consequence has to be done except for one line of Actions Editor code on any exit button (with pages other than last having one line of code to suspend and then the last page being set to mark as complete). Then two important publish settings (SCORM 1.2 and do not use HTML launch page.)
-
We are using Tracker.Net for healthcare workers following ToolBook courses and it seems to have great potential.
-
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.
