Special Thanks To:
Michael Reish (Lansing Community College) for teaching me the basics of Flash in his Intermediate Web Design course,
Michael Masterson (formally of Lansing Community College) for introducing me to ETOM (Michael was the one that first suggested that I go to an ETOM meeting when I was just beginning to make learning objects and had not yet even dreamed that they could communicate with the LMS),
Garret Brand of ETOM (Educational Technology Organization of Michigan formally Educational Teleconsortium of Michigan, an organization dedicated to quality distance learning in Michigan) for introducing me to SCORM,
Sue Halick (Lansing Community College) for reintroducing me to the idea of SCORM (it had been awhile since I orginally heard of SCORM and when I needed a way for my software to communicate results to Angel, Sue suggested that I look into SCORM),
Dennis Pipper (Lansing Community College) for teaching the basics of JavaScript, XML, and many other web development skills in his Advanced Web Development course,
Carol Fallon and Sharon Brown for the book: e-Learning Standards (I contacted these authors and told them what I was working on and they were kind enough to send me an example),
The Academic CoLab for offering SCORM School (the school wasn't enough to teach me everything that I needed to know about converting Flash learning objects into SCOs, but it did give me some of the pieces of the puzzle),
Tom King, Macromedia, Leonard greenberg, Pathlore, Claude Ostyn, Click2Learn, Inc., Jeff Burton and Andrew Chemey, Macrodmedia for making the code generated by Flash that I tweaked and studied to make things work (Although I have never met or communicated directly with any of these gentlemen, their work gave me the biggest piece of the puzzle that I needed to make SCORM work with my software),
the many people who continue to offer ideas for improving the programs,
and the many students who use and test the programs.
