Portable Firefox 1.5.0.2 Released 

From PortableApps.com | Your Digital Life, Anywhere™:
"Portable Firefox 1.5.0.2 Released"
Submitted by John T. Haller on April 28, 2006 - 12:38pm.
Portable Firefox 1.5.0.2 has been released. Portable Firefox is the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser packaged with a PortableApps Launcher as a portable app, so you can take your bookmarks, extensions and saved passwords with you. New in this version is:
  • Update to Firefox 1.5.0.2
  • New self-extracting package download (only 5MB)
  • New App/Data internal directories for easy backups
  • New localization instructions so you can use PFF in your own language
Get it from the Portable Firefox homepage at PortableApps.com.
Now to figure out if it is worth it to add the Authorware Player (lots of read/writes to the USB Flash drive) or not. I'm pretty sure I'll add the Flash plug-in and a few other key Firefox extensions though.

Certification: Do LMS Vendors Really Care? 

I noticed that only 1of leading LMS vendor has their current product certified by AICC. Only one major LMS has a current SCORM 2004 Certification. Read on to find out who IS certified. Curious who isn't certified right now for either standard? As of this writing I don't see Oracle, Saba, SAP, or SumTotal when I look on the AICC site (AICC Certified Products), nor do I see any of those products on the ADL SCORM 2004 Certified Products list.

Hmm, sorta makes you wonder why companies have problems integrating their content with their LMS.

Not that the issue is entirely on the LMS side. I don't see many content vendors with current AICC Certification either though. No current AICC certification for Articulate, DazzlerMax, Lectora Publisher, and ToolBook to name a few. There are quite a few I didn't name too.

Content tools fare much better with SCORM 2004 certification , where you will see that Adobe Breeze, Adobe Captivate, Articulate Presenter, EEDO ForceTen, OutStart Evolution and ToolBook are all listed.

Time to run off to Masie's LMS 2006 Users Group that is running right now. It is no wonder that this event sold out.

PS- Plateau has both AICC certification and SCORM 2004 certification currently. The only one out there as far as I can tell.
