That is correct, we are looking to transition from icodeon to rustici.
 I can't answer anything about authoring tools, but might be worth
contacting Rustici directly.  As Maggie, says they already have an
integration, and are extremely knowledgeable about the SCORM standard,
they maybe able to direct you to the right tool.

Raptivity is not all that appropriate for tutorials in my experience, and not everything will give you really useful SCORM output. I had trouble with Raptivity's SCORM output on the UCDavis player, but I never tried it on Icodeon.

After some meetings and demos at Sakai in Denver, we are thinking Rustici Software's SCORM Cloud player is going to work better for SCORM content in Sakai. You can go to www.scorm.com to see how it works, and there are some videos of the integration with the Gradebook and Assignments tools on the SCORM page in confluence. After John Bush talked to Tim Martin from Rustici, he seemed ready to abandon Icodeon because the data integration is so much farther along in SCORM Cloud.
