SCORM 2004, 4th Edition Released

SCORM 2004, 4th Edition - Overview:

The ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning) has officially released the 4th edition of SCORM 2004, here's the blurb:

"Acting on feedback from the ADL Community, ADL collected and analyzed reported issues to produce SCORM 2004 4th Edition (4th Ed.), a maintenance release that addresses defects in, and adds enhancements to, the previous versions of SCORM 2004."

Biggest changes?

• Sharing data and objective info between SCOs
  
• Jump Navigation requests
  
• Partial completion status now rolls up (as opposed to relying on complete/incomplete as before)
  

And, of course, there's a new test suite and sample run-time environment to play with.

All in all, this is a welcome update that resolves a number of issues with SCORM 2004 3rd Edition. Nothing earth-shattering, but a welcome release all the same.
