I’m still getting my head back in the groove of things after having been out in the woods canoeing an hour north of International Falls, MN in Canada. But its cool to stumble across The Open LMS Foundation. Who is attempting to build an open source LMS that is geared toward SCORM compliance. I was wondering when I’d stumble across something like this.
