WWF and SCORM

Is there any research or effort ongoing at Microsoft (James ) on using WWF in a SCORM compliant solution I'm referring to the ADL Sequencing specification (SCORM 2004 Sequencing and Navigation). Is Microsoft interested in SCORM at all There is very little info on Microsft.com on e-learning, specifically on Learning Management Systems (LMS). Looking at WWF and SCORM, it may be a task as simple as providing an XSLT transform between XOML (XAML) and SCORM XML, or a more complex task of providing a set of SCORM compliant activities or a SCORM Sequencer.

< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Thank you for any feed-back you may have :)

    Thank you Paul for responding. To put it simple, SCORM is a lot about creating a highly interactive and personalized learning experience. A SCORM package contains a number of web pages together with an XML file that describes the sequence the pages are to be delivered; for example in a course scenario, depending on results from pre-assessments and tests the student is taking along the way, content is delivered accordingly (a test is just another web pages in the package). A Learning Management System (LMS) server is parsing the XML and delivers the content. Also ADL, the standards body   (http://www.adlnet.org/technologies/index.cfm) developed an engine (RTE) in JavaJ, that execute the sequencing on the client side, while the LMS role is reduced to tracking, persistence, and timer services. This allows the student to take the course off-line too. He’ll need however Java installed on his PC.
    Now, since we expect pretty soon everybody will have WinFX on his computer    J, then WWF can do the job on either client or server side am I wrong

    < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

    Notable the effort on http://www.dotnetscorm.com for an LMS based on .Net XML classes (their biggest hurdle is: http://www.dotnetscorm.com/Articles/tabid/53/ctl/ArticleView/mid/400/articleId/7/CourseImportandParser.aspx  may be the case for a State Machine solution )

    I don't see any immediate correlation between SCORM and workflow.  If the two overlap conceptually at all it is at very different levels.  So it may be possible to create a set of high level activities that represent the work items in SCORM.  Perhaps you could explain a little more how you see these two technologies working together
