CETIS-SCORM and the art of specification maintenance:
"The more personalised learning experience comes courtesy of the IMS Simple Sequencing specification, which allows elearning content designers far greater control over the path a learner takes through a given pile of content. It enables things like specifying a minimum score in a test to allow the learner to progress to the next level, or specifying that the introductory material needs to be done first before the learner gets the freedom to choose between all the other bits of content. Clearly, the 'simple' in Simple Sequencing refers to the basic moves that can be specified, not the specification itself or its implementation."
