SharePoint LMS
SharePoint is an enterprise software platform that can be customized to address learning management requirements. It brings enterprise-grade abilities in document management, user management (both access and security), and web content-serving. As such, it is possible to take SharePoint even further, using the platform to actually deliver, track and report completion of formal learning content, as well. On its own, SharePoint lacks the basic functionality (such as the ability to deliver and play e-learning) that would potentially qualify it as an LMS. However, these gaps can be addressed by “web-parts” that build functionality on top of SharePoint, taking full advantage of SharePoint’s strengths as a content management and collaboration platform, and which add the LMS functionality that most companies desire. Microsoft offers one such set of additional functionality named, SharePoint Learning Kit or SLK. SLK is a SCORM16 2004 certified e-learning delivery and tracking application that builds onto Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. While not a positioned or marketed by Microsoft as an LMS, many enterprises take advantage of this “kit” to custom develop e-learning portals for their environments.
