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.

  • We’ve completed our study/evaluation of LMSs, starting with over 70, down to 25, and then a short-list of 5 vendors, to a final 2 vendors.
  • Just a quick FYI... we obtained final sell off today after another test with a classroom full of cadets stress testing the system. We also spent an hour with three instructors answering their final questions about the system and as we always knew it would, the entire system performed perfectly!
  • I have been using Tracker.Net and have had several different companies go through the training with no issues. Jeff is always there to help if there is anything wrong and does a great job with setups, etc.
  • After much research we decided that Tracker.Net was by far the “best bargain” for Learning Management System. Easy to install and setup – the software has been running without problems for six months now. Works very fast with various media – more features than we will probably ever use. You don’t have to be an IT professional to manage this LMS. When I do something stupid, the always friendly support from Platte Canyon gets it fixed immediately
  • I'm sure someone will point out Platte Canyon's Tracker.Net. It is an excellent, easy-to-use, cost-effective solution. AND, no, Jeff doesn't pay me for endorsements.
  • 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.
