Joe continues his efforts to improve our opensource LibSCORM and it is now beginning to spread. Please feel free to use LibSCORM and send us any improvements you might make so we can share them with the community. The following blog posted about its usefulness: http://tinyurl.com/39wdpd

We are happy to announce that our keynote speakers for Academic Fest have been confirmed. Robert Wisher, Bernie Dodge, and Stephen Downes are all confirmed July 8-9 in Madison! We are still adding some additional featured speakers and finalizing the schedule. Early registration will open this week!

We released LibSCORM 2.5.5 which fixes IE 7's "access denied" AJAX error.

Thanks to hard work by Joe and some advising by Rick, we now have the email forms working on the site!

We have fixed some reported bugs, including the broken RSS feed (you can now subscribe to this blog!). Some of the reported bugs are related to a DNS switch we made when activating the site from its development address. Please note that we are still working on an issue related to the email forms in our People section and hope to have this resolved soon.

We have released a version to hopefully address the "LMS not found" error that some people have encountered.

It has been quite sometime in coming but we are very happy to have our new AADLC site up and running. This is our first venture using Drupal and we have been bending the visual components to try to get a unique appearance. We are still making making adjustments but we welcome your feedback.

The blog you are reading is the AADLC Buzz and is a slightly more formal outlet for the latest info on what we are doing. As the site becomes more stable, we will be adding several other blogs, podcasts, and feeds. We will announce these new features through the Buzz so grab the RSS feed to keep tabs on what we are doing!
