Hi,
Agree with you. It's the very way of working with both TYPO3 and some 
LMS. It lets the systems show their best. TYPO3 works as an 
administrative part while LMS is responsible for e-learning one.
I did it this way and it worked ok.

Is Moodle the final decision? There are some other LMSs: Dokeos, ATutor, 
ILIAS.
I have some experience of working with Dokeos, Atutor. Their 
functionality and flexibility is far behind Moodle but they desrve 
attention if speaking about LMSs. There is also ILIAS. They say it works 
magic.

As for the strong aspects of Moodle. It can do almost everything (like 
TYPO3 :-)). That's the main thing for me.
1. supports e-learning standards
2. a lot of configurable modules (extentions)
3. huge community
4. supports many languages
5. developing very fast

BR,
Denis
