S1000D issue 4.0 introduced the learning Capability Package (CP) module. The general idea was to create a method for collecting CSDB objects into an single document for transfer to another system for creating SCORM compliant training material. The S1000D CP schema contains structures for including Single Content Objects (SCOs), which is a re-usable object used in SCORM for containing things like questions. However, since the SCO is embedded in the issue 4.1 CP, they are not reuseable in S1000D.
Issue 4.1 is rectifying the SCO reuse issue by introducing a new SCO module and removing the structures from the CP. The CP will reference SCO objects. However, the new CP, in common with the 4.0 CP, does not support things like role-up rules, sequencing and objectives that are inherent to a SCORM CP.
Although S1000D's intention does not require the need to create a fully SCORM compliant CP, how useful do people think the S1000D CP will be for developing training material given the lack of these fundimental aspect for SCORM?
