I am looking for an alternative to Moodle.

I searched and found pinax-lms-demo, which was Django-based开发者_开发技巧;

and Astra which was Rails-based, but both were empty repo...

I need a LMS which has the following functions:

1. create class
2. Assign faculty
3. Upload materials
4. Take quiz
5. forum
6. scorm
7. chat

I spent more than a month using Moodle and being a developer I felt I should not use it...

Canvas LMS https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms

Moodle seems the only more or less usable open source LMS out there, although it's far from well written IMO. There are good payed LMS like Canvas. I don't think what you are looking for exists at this moment!

This is a real problem as open-source LMS are all in PHP, with the exception of Sakai which is in Java.

As I've written a LMS which tries to be compatible with SCORM I can say that it's not a small work to create a SCORM implementation.

The only project in Python I know is Cloud Course, created by Google on GAE (http://code.google.com/p/cloudcourse/)

You can also use Rustici's SCORM Cloud with Python (https://github.com/RusticiSoftware/SCORMCloud_PythonLibrary)

I recommend Canvas-LMS by Instructure

As of June 15th: "adopted by 189 institutions (including names like Brown University, Auburn University and Wharton School of Business) and about 2.7 million users" from http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/cisco-teams-up-with-instructure-to-move-the-worlds-largest-it-classroom-to-the-cloud/

I managed a Moodle project and we continually wrestled with any coding changes and overall found some of the UX counter intuitive.
