Common Cartridge standard for e-learning

The IMS Global Learning Consortium have come up with the Common Cartridge (CC) standard. They are collected up online education standards for digital content. This would build on their Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standard for content, still using the same IMS Content Packaging format. It uses pre-existing metadata and XML encoded standards:

LMSs such as Web CT and Moodle claim complaince with SCORM and, in theory, you can transfer content from one to the other. If CC is implemented, then it should provide more compatibility.
