I want to create an action plan for OpenCerti. We have enough leaders now, and we can get cracking on the actual work now. I have not taken out time to work on the plan so far, but I will do that this week.
Some important things:
* Voice interview by a PHP-pro as part of the process
* Online tool to unit test PHP code submitted
* Question bank generation
Some people have raised their concerns about the project. One important thing we noticed was the lukewarm response by good php developers about the project. People feel certifications are about mugging up and ticking off one option from four. Hence there is not much value of certification.
Well, OpenCerti is not going to be like that. We will have real code that will be tested, and we will also have actual php programmers evaluate others.
More soon…

Do you know of a good resource that helps creating editable datagrids with Flex? Not with another text field where the user has to edit the text. The editing should happen in-place.
If there is a resource, great! Otherwise we will write up something. We have learnt a lot of things figuring out ways to do this

When you get “Unable to connect to endpoint” errors in Flash while using a web service, here are a few things you can check up:
- If you are passing complex data, make sure you use classes on the backend. And not associative arrays.
- If there is any problem on the web service, you may get this error. Test your service by writing a test case in the backend programming language (e.g. PHP) and see if that works.
- Make sure the spelling of the function you are calling and the arguments to it are correctly written.
- Did your first web service call succeed? If not, check the connection.

Hello Friends,
Now you are familiar with scorm conferment e-learning. Today we will take brief idea on how scorm works. There are Many controls defined in the manifest file of every course. One of the basic controls is ‘Control Mode’. It has many attributes which decides the flow of course. The attributes are -
1. Control Choice = True
This element enables the learner to select any chapter randomly.
2. Control Flow = True
This element enables the learner to go in sequence, learner can’t jump any chapter, and learner can go only one step front or back.
3. Control Choice Exit = True
This element enables the learner to restrict the learner while exiting the chapter.
4. Control Forward Only = True
This element enables the learner to move in one direction (forward only). Learner can’t go backward.
Sequencing of the course in e-learning. Next time we will take in consideration of the deep tree structures. Presently we are working on it, to make it more clear & brief. There is one site regarding the SCORM , which will help you more is http://www.adlnet.org.
