This is a discussion and news thread for TechJoomla Shika social learning LMS. The goal is to help educate people about what TechJoomla is working on with Shika and to encourage tight integration with EasySocial. Based on the following post made by Parth in the ES mobile app thread we can expect to learn more next week.

@Randall You have been doing a bit of detecting i see We are taking a very fresh approach to elearning in Joomla with Shika.. The initial builds which were pretty simple but functional have been in use at some client sites for almost 2 years now.. The timing of your question is very apt.. Look out for a blog post in our Labs section next week for more information on our plans for the LMS ! And yes Social Learning is a big part in it..


What features would you want in Shika and what needs do you want to see in a Joomla LMS designed for. Social learning?

Based on the below from Wiki, would you say Shika is an LMS or an LCMS?

LCMSs provide tools for authoring and reusing or re-purposing content (mutated learning objects, or MLOs) as well as virtual spaces for student interaction (such as discussion forums, live chat rooms and live web-conferences). LCMS technology can either be used in tandem with an LMS, or as a standalone application for learning initiatives that require rapid development and distribution of learning content.

While LMS and LCMS products have different strengths and weaknesses, they generally address the following areas of functionality:[6]

LMS Functionality

Course Content Delivery
Student Registration and Administration
Training Event Management (i.e., scheduling, tracking)
Curriculum and Certification Management
Skills and Competencies Management
Skill Gap Analysis
Individual Development Plan (IDP)
Reporting
Training Record Management
Courseware Authoring
Resource Management
Virtual Organizations

LCMS Functionality

Template-driven, Collaborative Content Development
Facilitated Content Management (i.e., indexing and reuse)
Publishing
Workflow Integration
Automated Interface with an LM

Hi Parth

Just saw this post now. Sue I am really excited about this. I have two very simple questions. When is this coming out and what version of Joomla will this work on?

best
