Just as the folks alive during the infamous Black Sox scandal of 1919 would remember – regarding the fixing of the World Series (baseball) – this statement can easily be applied to many items appearing in the e-learning space itself.

The RCAT (rapid content authoring tool) market continues to be healthy with nothing to slow it down – uh, except maybe one thing (more on that later). Yeah, I know we have just jumped into January, but in a review of the past several months, authoring tools continue to follow a similar path amongst themselves with certain feature sets.

Less vendors are offering the HTML5 output, which seems to be strange, especially as more e-learning vendors as a whole are jumping right in. Support (as in output) to AICC/SCORM – a major win! The SCORM capability again seems like a no-brainier. SCORM within the product takes out that issue.
