Has anybody had any experience with Moodle, the course management system (http://moodle.org/). Can Rev stacks be integrated with it ?
To the degree that it adheres to the common courseware interoperability standards (SCORM, IMS, AICC), it should be relatively straightforward to make courseware in any tool to integrate with Moodle.
Some portions of these standards are limited to in-browser delivery, so of course those are out of the loop for Rev (and most other authoring systems).
But for anything delivered on CD-ROM over over networks to be run from its own executable beyond the browser, that's precisely the objective of these interoperability standards.
Many years ago I build a pair of courses for a corporate client designed for compliance with AICC (a less popular CMS standard, and its decreasing relevance is welcome as it was odd for an interop standard to include so many Microsoft-specific elements). I made the courseware in ToolBook, and the CMS was made in VB. The data transfer mechanisms were file-based and simple in that spec, and because more recent specs like IMS make strong use of XML they are in many ways even simpler.
I haven't used Moolde myself, and haven't needed to make CMS standards-compliant courseware in a long time. But the Moodle docs seem very extensive and they have an active support community, so hopefully it won't be hard to learn what's needed for integration.
