Recently we had a request in regards to what formats we support in exporting questions to Learning Management Systems.
As there are no agreed upon international standards (IMS QTI is not a standard and is only supported by a limited number of companies) and there is a cost to join and certify your software (not in the spirit of open source that we follow) for now, we have made the decision to stay with only our QST XML format (as the others do not support some of our question features such as inserting a pdf document into a question nor allowing for columns of answers to be shown). This may change in the future if we have more requests for another export format.
As we are a free, open source, Complete Assessment Solution there is not a need for an LMS to support our software. Everything you need to create, implement and evaluate assessments is included in our software. Also, you are likely to find that many LMS's will not easily scale to the number of simultaneous examinees as ours. Our software was intentionally built to support massive numbers of examinees in a very cost effective way.
