The chips I often eat at lunch give me time to read a bit more broadly on learning and education than our typical SCORM minutiae. My hope is this balance helps us innovate and avoid the myopia that can overcome those obsessed with learning standards.…

My recent vacation seems to have inspired Tim to write a few blog posts. I love that he did, but I think he missed an important point in his post about why we chose not to release the SCORM Engine under an open source license.…

Well, we've been living very publicly here at Rustici Software lately. While it's not quite The Real World or anything like that, we're becoming progressively more open about our approach and direction. This week, I've been working with our legal folks on our click through…

We're still toiling away on the public release of the SCORM Cloud. A few folks have asked for application_id's (the token that allows you to interact with the SCORM Cloud,) and we've actually shared them. We're still very much in the alpha stage... although TestTrack…

Welcome back! Yeah, that's right, it's been nearly two months since I posted on the blog. Pathetic, right? Well, we've been writing a lot, it's just spread out all over the new site. So, I'll beg your forgiveness and get on with some new writing.…

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we're using "between implementation" time (Brian's) to do some more work toward an elegant, pre-packaged integration between the SCORM Engine and Moodle. While Moodle is moving toward SCORM 1.2 certification, progress toward SCORM 2004 in Moodle is very…
