Can download your SCORM courses from the “cloud&# to go into your LMS/LCMS (open source/vendor or proprietary – hosted on your own server – behind your firewall, on your vendor’s server or on any server on the net or wherever). Integrate into application, future web services possibilities.

Seems to focus more on client side server, when space as a whole is focused more on SaaS. Relies too much on Moodle architecture as in 80%. I’m not sure how much the Moodle platform is tied into this approach, but I would surmise it is a factor. And frankly, that isn’t something most vendors would want.

Subject matter experts are embracing the more sophisticated rapid e-learning tools which allow server side development with international collaboration and “instant&# course deployment. E-Learning development houses need to be able to demonstrate a clear value in their services. I completely agree with this.

All they care about is whether the system is in “the cloud” SaaS or “in the cloud” to the consumer means that is it hosted on your servers or wherever you host your LMS and they can access it via the internet regardless of where they are located as long as they have an internet connection. SaaS and LMS vendors.

I’m not talking about freebies such as Moodle or Sakai, but actually commercial systems. In the cloud or on your own servers. Low cost systems are typically SaaS based (then again, the LMS industry as a whole is more SaaS based than hosted on your servers). Major downer: available only as hosted on your own servers.

What is of note, is that this is not new in terms of systems being offered “in the cloud” This was happening back when e-learning began, with quite a few systems in the cloud by 2002. Systems that are only available as hosted on your own servers are starting to significantly decline. Prediction. Open Source Systems.

You can use either your own 3rd party content authoring tool and upload it into the “Cloud&# and then wherever you are, output either to your LMS, or onto Moodle or even WordPress (they have a plug in for that) OR place the course in Facebook or nearly any solution that accepts APIs. SAAS or hosted on your own servers.
