These are a few of the other and future specifications.
- IMS QT (Questions and Testing)
- Idea is that author puts information into XML file
- Server reads XML file, and formats it for delivery at run time
- Microsoft LRN is a variation of the IMS content packaging specification.
- Other IMS: We have heard vendors discussing a spec where the course is stored entirely in XML, and then the server renders it based on format information independent of the course too early to tell what this will look like.
- ARIADNE: A European initiative. Not sure where it is going at this time.
