I found out today that in April 2001, the Department of Defense will be
issuing a directive that all future training development must be WBT and
SCORM compliant. I hope MetaCard will qualify as a Web-Based Training
mechanism. (It's my understanding that the SCORM part is the responsibility
of the developers). I'd say the DoD is a big enough market not to want to
address their needs....
