If there is nothing else on the market and it costs enough (it has to be

Learning Scorm.... what a crappy protocol:
1) it is a method for zipping lectures and metadata
2) lectures are in html and are vulnerable to XSS
3) mixes content and presentation
4) can contain quizzes (defined in the JS). students can find the
right answers by looking in the page source code.
5) completely unreadable because of many XML files with incomplete
specs.
I cannot believe everybody uses this.

I am taking a second look at SCORM, the de-facto standard for creating
e-learning content, supported by all major LMSes. Looks like there is
only one engine that can parse SCORM files and it is commercial/closed
source.
This cannot be good for education.

I was researching LMS type stuff around the net and found eXe, a very
attractive open source tool for creating Lessons ( standards
compliant ) and generating the result as a sequence of html pages and
resources. exeLearning.org or core-ed.net.
I am experimenting to see if the eXe pages can be 'wrapped' in web2py
ie.
Idea
web2py app maintains a table of categories and a table of lesson
titles in these categories. This is fairly standard.
the user can then select and hopefully start a Lesson
1. is it possible to shell out to the lesson index.html from web2py?
( run the set of html files stored in local folder in separate browser
window).
(( the lesson is obviously Not a web2py app itself.))
Where and how should the Lesson resources be stored and referenced
from web2py field? (All eXe generated lessons begin with index.html)
My trials with redirect and static have not worked. :-(
2. It would also need to upload a zip file and unzip it into folder.
( still researching this :-/
I suppose the ultimate idea is for the user to be able to upload
lessons created with eXe for other users to download and use.
Any ideas welcome.
strength to the LMS mill!
