There's Blackboard/WebCT ... there's Moodle ... but wait!  
There is another "player" (lesser known on US shores)!

Dokeos - out of Belgium (Netcraft, however, shows France).
http://www.dokeos.com

Features

Three things stand out to me ...

a. PowerPoint Conversion (Oogie)

Oogie is the first software to :

* Convert both Ms-PowerPoint and OpenOffice Impress presentations;
* Transform your presentation into a true SCORM learning content;
* Do it online : no software installation, runs on any computer, runs for all trainers at once;
* Do it using only open source technology for more stability and sustainable development.

Oogie is based on OpenOffice conversion libraries and RED5 audio recorder plugin. Thanks to the use of open source technology, the software is low cost and compliant with web standards.
