How then does NLN round one material, which is IMS and SCORM compliant, pipe
results back to the VLE when it launches into a new window outside of the VLE?
As does the material from Wisconsin Online another IMS and Scorm compliant
content repository.
It may be possible to get some of these things to work but not without some
manipulation which requires technical knowledge, the idea that they will work
"out of the box" in ANY VLE or other IMS compliant package is fanciful and
misleading at this time.
