November 05, 2003: Using SHAME to fill your SCAM
The deadly serious people at the Knowledge Management Research group at
Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology just released their open source
Standardized Hyper Adaptable Metadata Editor (SHAME). The editor is
designed to be used in conjunction wih the equally open source,
RDF-based Standardised Content Archive Management (SCAM) system. The
pair are meant to kick start eLearning on the semantic web.

October 30, 2003: LOM/CanCore Open-Source Software Components released
Rather than building a complete metadata application that only meets one
set of current needs, the CanCore people built a set of components that
can be re-used in many digital library applications that suit your
requirements. It's an approach to open source educational software
development that we're going to hear much more about.

October 08, 2003: Future of SCORM 1.x guide published, services top of
the menu
It's not a roadmap. It's not, in theory, exhaustive. It doesn't
recommend anything in particular. It's not even from ADL itself, so it
is not normative in any way. Yet Carnegie-Mellon Learning Systems
Architecture Lab's "Technical Evolution of SCORM" probably is the most
definitive guide to what could happen to the present form of SCORM. We
talk to the author, Dan Rehak.
