My company is generally looking to create courses, and post them online for people to purchase and use, and provide completion certificates. We are looking into giving CEUs for some courses as well.
I've been tasked with figuring out how to do this. We very much like the type of course that could be created using Adobe Captivate, and are leaning towards purchasing it. However, we then need to host these somehow. I'm finding that most LMS systems that do what we need are enormously expensive, which has lead me to the open source community, and Moodle.
Long story short, we need the typical abilities to host, secure, accept payment for, and track courses. It seems that Moodle has most of these covered, and I like the overall functionality. But the interaction with Captivate seems to be problematic.
I've tried the demo, and like many, I cannot get pass/fail from Captivate. I further don't seem to get some tracking, as in, how far did they get in the course, did they finish the course, etc.
We're also looking to capture individual responses from Captivate, for statistical analysis. We'd also like for viewers to be able to resume courses where they left off. I don't see that these are supported in Moodle.
(I guess I didn't make "long story short") but anyway, can this be done using Moodle? If not, are there any inexpensive LMS systems that might do the job?
Thanks for any input.
