I think the title says it all really. I got hold of a trial copy of Camatsia 7.1 recently and I've found it easy to use, but possibly a little limited in what it can produce.

Our school has been using educare for our Data Protection, Fire Safety in Education, Health & Safety in Education, The Prevent Duty, etc. The staffing manager is not happy with this system and wants me to find an alternative. He thinks the courses are too long (DP is 1.5 hours in total) and the content/examples aren't school relevant in many cases. I don't think he is that impressed in online courses in general, although I emphasised that I have no staff (or hope of getting any) with training skills who could start developing and delivering training. Are any schools out there really impressed with either e-learning they are using, or a company they invite in to deliver training to staff? I am interested to hear how other schools deliver such training. Any suggestions would be appreciated as always. Thanks very much Angela

Hi all, I have been trying to find out some information regarding e-learning platforms for some time now, when I came across edugeek and thought lets give them a try and see if theres anyone in the forum who might be able to point me in the right direction. I am starting an e-learning project and have been looking at some of the various platform, both open source and licensed. I am particularly interested if anyone has any particular opinion on any of the opensource platforms, and which you would recommend.. Now my main doubt: One of the requirements of the courses that I will be including is that they must last a minimum amount of time. i.e a course that lasts 4 hours must last at least that amount of time. So the user can't simply go through the course slides, quizes etc as fast as they want, they must spend at least a certain amount of time on each slide. so for example.. a course of 10 pages has to last 1 hour.. so the user must spend 6 minutes on each page.. and they can't go ahead until that amount of time has passed. So does anyone know of a platform where this type of functionality can be incorporated? Or is this something that has to be set up in a SCORM package previously to being uploaded on a platform? Can this even be done in SCORM? and if so what SCORM editors/creators have this functionality? I know I am asking for a bit of information here... I will really appreciate any help or advice given. Maybe this is not the right place to post this type of question,, but i hope so.... Thanks again Tim
