I am considering a presentation / workshop on creating a basic drag and drop SCORM exercise using a suite of free and open source PortableApps. Skills learned will be basic image editing (Pixlr.com / Inkscape?), quick 'n dirty HTML (Komposer). At the end participants will have created a drag and drop exercise that can be loaded to a SCORM compliant LMS. So my question is 'would anyone be interested in attending?' J

Dean Hutt: Yes I think its a great idea, would be keen to attend.

Liz Ramsay: Two or three months ago, we introduced pixlr as an option in a lab where the computers were set up with IE as default. FYI it acted quite differently in IE on those computers but was as expected once we got them to launch firefox.

Jeremy FitzPatrick: Thanks for the heads up Liz. I (and the participants) will probably have to be a little flexible on the day for such expected and unexpected hiccups.

Just to let you know the first round of presentations for Shar-E-Fest 2012 are now available for you to preview http://tiny.cc/0gz7jw. More will be added John
