News on SCORM 2004 3rd Edition |
|
|
|
|
On August 21, 2006, ADL released SCORM 2004 3rd
Edition Beta Specification for a 30-day review period.
That review period ended on September 22, 2006
with the following proposed changes:
- Changes due to standardization/specification
efforts, in particular the IMS Content Packaging
Specification Version 1.1.4 and IEEE Standard for
Learning Technology – Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Schema Definition Language Binding for
Learning Object Metadata
- Clarification of concepts
- Clarification of requirements
- Best practices from the ADL Community
- Enhancements
- Bug fixes
ADL has not yet determined a date for the final
release of the SCORM 3rd edition specification.
Some of these changes may have an impact on the
SCORM products and services you deliver. You are
encouraged to download the final version once it is
available.
Please feel free to contact JCA Solutions for
assistance with the new specification.
In our continuing quest to provide the education and
training community with relevant, up-to-date
knowledge on SCORM, JCA Solutions will be
teaching "Practical Hands-On Guide to SCORM"
October 31 - November 3 at the DiSTI facilities.

overwhelming response from our readers, we chose to
again offer the "Instructional Designer's Pocket Guide

bottom of the newsletter, you will find a coupon for
50% off the cover price. This is our way of saying
thank you.
