SCORM Engine Update
4.12.2006 - Mike Rustici
This month we will be issuing another release of the SCORM Engine. Most of the changes are geared towards support for our new Test Track application, but there are a few goodies in there as well. The highlights are below and a complete list of changes can be found here. All new clients will receive this latest version and existing customers with active maintenance agreements will be contacted soon regarding their upgrade.
New features in Version 2006.1:
1. Multilingual Capability – All of the visible GUI text in the SCORM Engine has been isolated and the framework is in place to support multiple languages.
2. Package Properties Web Control – We added a new web control to our tool set that provides an interface for modifying all package properties. The properties have been logically organized and contain full explanations of their functionality. The web control will intelligently enable and disable relevant properties and it is fully skinnable to blend in with any application.
3. Package Properties Presets – Now you can save commonly used package property configurations and apply them to other packages with a single click.
4. Enabled Support for DB2 and OpenBase - The SCORM Engine is now compatible with these two database platforms.
5. Web Services Integration – To date, all of our client integrations have involved tight integration via direct code communication. In this release we introduced a new option that uses web services resulting in a looser coupling and more flexible deployment options.

A New Member of Our Family
4.04.2006 - Mike Rustici
The Rustici Software family is about to get a bit bigger. No, we didn't have another baby, but we did just hire on our fifth employee. Next week, Thad Hoffman will come onboard to help with product development and client integrations. Thad's 10+ years of experience and familiarity with SCORM will be an invaluable asset as we continue to grow. We look forward to working with and getting to know Thad, we just hope he doesn't expect us to keep up with his 100+ mile mountain bike rides!

LINGOs
It's nice to know that there are good people out there constantly trying to help others. Organizations like Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity and Catholic Relief Services are filled with great people striving to make a difference. While it may pale in comparison to the monumental challenges these organizations face everyday, training their people isn't easy. Consider the distributed workforce, widely varying skill levels, high turnover and you're faced with a great candidate for e-learning. Unfortunately, e-learning can be expensive and is often beyond the budget of a typical NGO. Enter Learning for International NGOs (LINGOs). LINGOs is a partnership of 8 charitable organizations pooling their resources to provide online training to their employees and volunteers. Together with their industry partners, LINGOs provides training on everything from soft skills to kidnapping avoidance in war zones. We are proud to announce our partnership with LINGOs through which will be provide ongoing content development assistance and complementary use of the SCORM Driver.
