Hi DITA learning specialization specialists
-

Here's a quick pull together on some
links related to SCORM and how it relates to learning objects and structured
reusable content.

Tyde Richards of EduWorks and the IEEE
Learning Technology Standards Committee, and with a long involvement in
learning standards and SCORM, will join us for our telecon on 9/28 and
help us make some sense of all this in relation to structured content for
learning.
