A feature or a bug; SCORM and cross domain scripting. People trying to deploy SCORM across several sites have been agonising over the problems associated with playing SCORM content from one domain in a VLE in another domain. We asked SCORM luminaries Dan Rehak, Claude Ostyn, Wayne Hodgins and Schawn Thropp about their views on the nature of the problem, what sorts of solutions might work and what SCORM's makers -ADL- intend to do about it.

TVBrick

This news bit is from Digi.no (In Norwegain): It is an article on a system called TVBrick.

It "allows international families to watch home TV channels when they travel or stay abroad. It is a great appliance to keep closer to our family or to our own country"... "TVBrick is based on innovative Free Software such as GNU/Linux. Hardware is based on the OpenBrick platform. TVBrick appliance must be connected to a broadband Internet access, such as high speed ADSL or optical fiber networks which exist in Japan or Korea. When a member of the family travels abroad, he or she can watch home TV channels by connecting with a standard PC to the family TVBrick appliance"..."The use of TVBrick appliances for private use within the same family is compatible with Copyright Law in Europe and in Japan. This is why Nexedi is selling TVBrick to families only, mainly Japanese. Also, in order to help our customers not to infringe on copyright, we implemented a password system to restrict access to members of the same family." See the Pressrelease.

Forget the dish, now all we need is install one at every university in the world. Open as to people, as to places, as to methods, as to ideas
