elearning Magazine: Where oh Where is Plug & Play?"Real plug-and-play isn't just a matter of getting the course to operate with the LMS... The course also must run properly on the learner's individual computer. For companies that don't want to exercise rigid control over the software loaded on employees' computers, that opens a can of worms almost too terrible to contemplate. What version of Internet Explorer does this machine use? What version of Microsoft Word? What cookies are present and when do they expire? Is AOL loaded? Has the user, perhaps unknowingly, allowed RealPlayer to take over his download process by setting it as the default option?... None of them have much, if anything, to do with specs that might be adopted by IEEE, AICC, SCORM, or any other body concerned solely with standards for e-learning."
