Everyone interested in using drupal to power learning management systems (LMS) is welcome to participate. Particularly if you or your company has already built a LMS in drupal or some piece of functionality that could be used for course management or something like that.
This group is an outgrowth of one of the BOF's at drupalcon SF.

Google released an open source "learning platform"
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/05/cloudcourse-enterprise-app...
However, connecting our expert teachers to eager students around the globe can be a complicated business. To that end, we are excited to release our new internal learning platform, CloudCourse under an open source license. Built entirely on App Engine, CloudCourse allows anyone to create and track learning activities. CloudCourse also offers calendaring, waitlist management and approval features.
Thoughts?

I'm building a small lms with drupal
Hello I'm building a small lms with Drupal, it's really simple.
Quiz module to test.
a cck module to lessons.
I make books of lessons and test.
I'm developing a small code to don't let people go to the next lesson if they don't pass the test of the lesson, I build a relationship between test and lessons with node-reference.
Control access to lessons with taxonomy control access.
A modulo to ask a new course and a small workflow of two persons to accept the course.
I hope to finish it this week or the next week.
Thanks

Our take on a Drupal LMS
Hia all, very glad to see more people wanting to push Drupal into the LMS market! :)
I considered chiming in on the "please join the LMS group" discussion, but instead I'll just describe how we are approaching these issues at the Norwegian centre for telemedicine. We now use ATutor as our LMS, but are working towards building most of our courses in Drupal instead. ATutor is fast, intuitive and user friendly, but has some shortcomings and is much harder to extend and develop for than Drupal. And in addition the community of Drupal is much, much larger and more vibrant.

Purpose of the group
Hello everyone!
I am happy to see people already participating in this group. As Kim mentioned, this group started due to a need for schools to leverage the open-source community of Drupal in developing learning management tools. Our 'birds of a feather' discussion group made it painfully obvious that the current crop of LMS tools are not fully meeting our needs.

Some resources for building a Drupal-based LMS
Since I haven't done any development work in Drupal to date, I thought I could contribute by listing some of the pertinent resources I have been exploring over the past year that seem to be part of "the solution" (if there is a single solution).

I promised a few people at DrupalConSF I would post this example of a multi-campus, searchable campus map. It works great with events or a "Places" Search.

Read moreComponents of a LMS
Can we first list out the components of a good LMS. We can then determine what is already available in Drupal and the gaps that need to be filled.
We were testing the Fronter LMS and here are some of the Components and sub-components
• Personal Work
• Learning
• Collaboration
• Publishing
• Administration
and the sub-components are here http://com.fronter.info/mnu1.shtml#

Join the newly formed LMS group
During one of the edu BOF's at drupalcon sf, a small group of us got together to discuss our needs for a lms (learning management system) powered by drupal. Various schools and groups seem to be doing pieces of this puzzle but we would all benefit from getting together to discuss further and hopefully create a solution that could work for more of us as an alternative to blackboard or sakai, etc.
We started a new group here on g.d.o. to help us organize. If this is something you have interest in, please head over and join!
