IMHE(xperience) the VLE and SRS teams, here at least, work quite closely
together and are both keen to see this kind of integration. However,
whereas the eLearning side have rich and varied technical toolkits and
experience to choose from, the SRS side have their hands tied by the
commercial products that dominate the market, license terms and "void if
this sticker is removed" mentality.
So the techs turn up at the castle walls with the middleware pipes, tubes
and wires and the SRS team have to pour commercially sponsored boiling oil
on them from the ramparts!
To get what the VLE requires then resembles a scene from Monty Python's
Live Organ Transplants with the SRS as the donor.
