In 2008, Learning Education Training Systems Interoperability (LETSI) solicited white papers from stakeholders that were interested in contributing to “SCORM 2.0″. The result was a rather large collection of documents that have been important to the e-learning industry and had a large part in shaping the Tin Can API.
LETSI’s website is no longer operational, so the archive of these documents isn’t available there anymore. The white papers are crammed with thoughts that are important to our industry, so we decided to host the archive here and make them available to you. Enjoy!
