Draper, UT – December 13, 2001 – Learnframe™, the leading developer of e-Learning infrastructure technologies, participated in Plugfest 5 in Orlando, Florida, November 26th - 29th with tremendous results. For the first time, a learning management system (LMS) provider was able to demonstrate its compatibility with SCORM 1.2 by delivering Sharable Content Objects (SCO) from multiple repositories.

Plugfests are events designed to validate and document progress in meeting the collective requirements of the SCORM™ specifications. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of interrelated technical specifications designed to meet the Department of Defense's training needs.

For years, people have been speaking about the promise of a product that would take learning objects from multiple repositories and deliver them in a cohesive format to the learner. In order to demonstrate this, Learnframe participated in Plugfest 5 showing their interoperability with Learning Objects Network, Inc. (LON), an Internet infrastructure company providing services to publishers, corporations, government and military organizations. Learnframe and LON joined forces to show that SCORM’s vision is now reality.

"Learnframe and LON were the center of attention at Plugfest 5 because of their ability to demonstrate what others have only been theorizing,” said Trey Mooney, director of product management at Learnframe. “We were able to show how Sharable Content Objects (SCO) are identified through a database search and then retrieved from multiple repositories to be delivered to the user’s learning plan in Learnframe’s LMS. Plugfest 5 was a huge success for Learnframe!"

“Our presentation with Learnframe created an incredible level of excitement,” said John Purcell, CEO of Learning Objects Network, Inc. “It is great to be part of a team that is able to bring much needed and highly valuable solutions to the e-Learning world.”

Learnframe further demonstrated SCORM 1.2 compatibility with their learning management systems by launching learning objects from a variety of content developers.

This is the third time Learnframe has participated at an ADL Plugfest. “Learnframe enjoys participating in events like Plugfest,” said Michael Memmott Sr., chairman and CEO of Learnframe. “These are great opportunities to show the quality of our learning management systems. Learnframe developers work hard to make Learnframe products the best in the industry and Plugfest is an event where we can showcase our technology.”
