In no particular order or domain, here are a few things that are itching me into 2009…

There are a number of technology ideas (products) that LETSI could address, but I think that’s putting the cart before the horse. What I’d like to do is answer Avron’s question with what I’m calling (to keep the meme going) the BAQON model

All the ways in which educators, managers, owners and senior leaders want to see training and learning data mashed up with other types of data in their organizations — we need to work in concert… together.

There are about 30 scenarios that were generated at the SCORM 2.0 Workshop last week in Pensacola. Six models stick out particularly for my organization..

SCORM 2.x will layout how open standards will work together — but it will spurn off an open source community to develop interoperable services for learning.

With the help of tools like Articulate and Adobe Captivate, non-technical authors are producing more content by volume than the merry few of us who actually know how to work with the SCORM Run-Time Data Model – let alone the elite among that population that figured out how to do Simple Sequencing.

Last Friday, I submitted two white papers forged with considerable ideas and suggestions from professional colleagues…

Aside from rocking out, quoting movies and tv shows incessently, cooking, troubleshooting a wide array of technical issues… one of the things I do really well is start things I’m excited about. I’m getting better at finishing them.
There are at least two ideas I’ve had brewing that I’d like to write a white paper on, but I probably won’t have the gumption in me to finish both of them by myself by August 15. I’m posting them here in the hopes that you or someone you know might …

Several weeks ago, a call for white papers was announced to provide the broadest possible input into shaping SCORM 2.0.
We have this framework that most E-Learning content and Learning Management Systems use as a basis for their data tracking, communication and delivery — it’s called SCORM. You may not know how SCORM works, but if you’re involved in any way with E-Learning, you must know that its very existence affects you; specifically in how it sets the parameters for the learning experience you can provide in Learning Management Systems …

From the LETSI Wiki…

“Our company is starting to venture into creating SCORM modules.
What is the Best Mac software for developing SCORM content?
One option was Lectora? Any good?”

SCORM on a Mac… it’s tough. I assume you’re looking for authoring
