On principle, I'm leery of "simple" course authoring tools. They certainly have their place, but I've been disappointed with a lot of tools that end up restricting users into proprietary formats and systems.
Udutu is a Canadian company that offers an online course authoring tool as well as a hosting environment and a number of other things that I haven't fully sussed out yet. They appear to make their money from hosting elearning content ($1/screen per month...).
The core offering is a free to use authoring system that allows users to built simple self-paced elearning courses. What I like about the system is a) it's free and b) it allows you to export a SCORM package that you can import into your own environment.
As for the rest of the offerings (hosting, Facebook apps, etc.), I'll need to investigate a bit further. But it does look like a tool that could meet a need for rapid development of SCORM based courseware.
