Good online training course

[TheSiege]

I am looking to find a website that will let me setup training for new hires and existing employees. I know there are A LOT of options. Anyone have any experience with any? Or any suggestions. I work at a Data Center and much of the training will revolved around electrical, mechanical, and procedures. Not some much data or IT since I work in maintenance. Thanks

I dont want the content to be provided by the site, I want to setup modules and training internally, and have quizzes and of course tracking

Try a hosted training system like Litmos:

I use a really old program for training & I'm currently looking into online training systems as well. Vimeo is good for hosting training videos. I use Camtasia for doing screen recordings:

Snagit also does basic screen recordings, as well as really excellent screenshots with easy markup tools (arrows, textboxes, etc.). Combine that with Adobe Acrobat for creating instructional PDF files: (or go the cheap route if you don't need a clickable TOC & just use CutePDF to export a Word doc to PDF)

For recording videos IRL, I either use an iPod Touch for quickie ones, or a digital camcorder with a clip-on lav mic so it picks up voices clearly. Sony Vegas or Final Cut Pro X are both pretty good systems for PC or Mac on a budget.

I am looking into litmos, my only concern is that I am sure my management would not want information the building I work at, stored remotely. They would want all content stored locally on our server. I am not sure if litmos offers that...

Not exactly what you're looking for, but MediaGoblin can host videos on your equipment. You could then arrange some kind of testing protocol that ties into the the videos.
