The SharePoint Learning Kit has now been formally released to the education community.
You can get the compiled binaries or source code at: http://codeplex.com/SLK
Dagza: Thanks for catching my typo in the PPT deck! I'll fix that as soon as I'm done in London and get back to Redmond! You also noticed the two sites, http://www.LearningGateway.net and the CodePlex.com/SLK site. The CodePlex site is for engineers who wish to download bits, report bugs, contribute code, get technical SLK answers. The LearningGateway.net site is for more general questions about the collection of things that make SharePoint particularly relevant to educaiton. (which is quite a mouthfull when you say it out loud, so we've settled on Learning Gateway as an easy to say and remember way to describe educational deployments of SharePoint and relevant web parts.
Quackers: You're right. Moodle does offer more features than SLK does. We're just fine with that, actually. As both work well in a SharePoint Learning Gateway, we're quite happy to see you use whichever you like (see http://www.codeplex.com/Moodle2003WP to get the web parts). SLK was designed to be a fully conformant SCORM 2004 assignment distribution tool with the power to turn any other electronic content into an assignment as well (albeit with fewer features!). Our thought in this was to let teachers assign the content they like, without having to worry about what kind of file it was. SLK just does the right thing with whatever content you have.
I hope this clears up some of the confusion. I'd have responded sooner had I learned of this site earlier!
Any other SLK or Learning Gateway questions I can answer for you?
