This is a significant development. WebCT can now import and export IMS compliant course materials. To paraphrase this press release, administrators can now import or export and save content and assessment information from WebCT courses in XML using IMS Content Packaging 1.1 and Question & Test Interoperability 1.1 format. This allows schools to save their courses in a non-proprietary format that can be shared with other IMS-compliant software. It also gives institutions the flexibility of importing IMS-compliant courses created outside the WebCT environment. Now I ask: will somebody build a course content marketplace WebCT users can tap into to find IMS-compliant course content? WebCT Press Release, June 30, 2001.
