[Building Sakai] [DG: Teaching & Learning] Interface Mock-Ups In Sakai

[John Norman]

Others may know more, but I bumped into Warwick Bailey (owner of  
Icodeon and ex-CARET) at the IMS Learning Impact meeting last week. My  
understanding is that the work is complete technically, but the  
intention is for rSmart to offer it as either part of the value  
proposition for their distribution of the CLE or as a paid for add-on  
to their distribution. I don't know of plans for a general release of  
the integration code (which would then require an institution to  
license the player from Icodeon).
