Joomla out of the box is not at all designed to handle anything other that content. However, usign various available extensions you can create some very dynamic and very extensive learning websites from a Joomla installation.

We'll give you some examples and practical tips on what we have found in the JoomlaSphere.

Joomlearn.com is proud to launch it webinar Series of Training for Joomla Administrators. The short 1-2 hour training webinars offer live real time training on various topics for Joomla administrators.

 These cost effective live training webinars will offer you some very practical solutions to help get you kickstarted on your road to Joomla CMS development.

We would like to let you know about some very nice tools that are available for distance learning. Most people may not know about the various free web conferencing tools that are available to them. Some are free with commercial upgrade packages to remove feature limitations. But others are completely free and some are even open source.

Rather than stretching your tight budget to fly out key project team members for an in-person meeting, you might consider using a Web-conferencing service, which lets anyone with an Internet connection and a Web browser meet and collaborate online in real time. 

In general, Web-conferencing tools work in the same way. The person initiating the conference sets up a new meeting in the tool and then invites participants to join by sending them an email containing the meeting's time, date, password, URL, and login instructions. Some conferencing tools require participants to install a piece of software on their own computers before they can participate, though others are entirely Web-based. All require an Internet connection.

The tools diverge primarily in the features they provide for collaboration and communication. For instance, some let participants speak to one another through their computers' microphones while others let everyone interact via video.

 
If you are about to develop or implement e-learning within your organisation, then keep in mind these Ten Tips from Jane Knight of the e-Learning Centre.

From time to time we get asked to recommend a tool for our customers to develop their elearning content so that they can deliver their training  with the Joomlearn LMS.

Here you will find a host of free and commercial tools, some  that we have personally used and also have had the pleasure of seeing our customers use as well. Here you will find a brief description of the tools and the links to their respective websites for download. We cannot guarantee that these tools will work for you specific needs but at least you will have some tools that you can investigate that you may not have known about before.
