Plugfests

Approximately twice a year, the ADL Co-Laboratory sponsors Plugfests to bring together e-learning tools developers and content providers from various sectors of industry, government and academia. These events provide a venue to synchronize the evolution and convergence of commercial authoring tools, learning management systems and Web-based courses with the reference model as it evolves. A key advantage to the Plugfest format is that it brings many key companies and individuals working in the SCORM arena together at one time and place. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to test tools and content on many different platforms within a short space of time.

The goals and objectives of each Plugfest are different, depending on the status of the SCORM and feedback received from the ADL community. Each Plugfest builds on developments from previous Plugfests and the results of user testing and implementation of ADL products and specifications.

Each Plugfest has exceeded previous events with substantial growth in both attendance and participation by key players.
