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.

User Comments

  • We are a small non-profit organization and for three years we have been using Tracker.Net by Platte Canyon Software http://www.trackernet.net. We researched dozens of vendors and Tracker.Net gives us the “biggest bang for the buck” by far. This is software you purchase and run off a server, but it wasn't hard to install and the support has always been friendly and fast. It has more flexible features than you could ever use. This was the least expensive program that we reviewed. Yes, its initial cost is probably more than for a hosted solution, but once you calculate the actual costs over a period of time we found that Tracker.Net paid for itself the first year. They have a free live webinar demonstration every week, and/or you can request an individual demonstration and/or download a free trial version.
  • After much discussion we have concluded that Tracker.Net is a great fit for our company.
  • Check with Jeff Rhodes at Platte Canyon. They have a nifty LMS that is fairly robust and is priced very competitively.
  • 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.
  • We've been using Tracker.Net for about 6 months now to administer training to about 300 flight crew in an airline in Ireland. We've installed the LMS on their local server and we service our SCOs remotely from the UK. The system works extremely well.
  • The simple-to-use interface means students can concentrate on the learning material rather than having to worry about how to navigate the LMS and how to launch the course.
