Hello Lukva,

There are three answers to this question:
1) The iLiad allows for annotation in files which is saved separately in a vector-based format and (if you use a PNG-Bitmap as stationary) as a PNG-bitmap. These are open standards that could be used and converted to mostly any graphical file format automatically.
For example: You could print your form to a GIF-File, convert it to PNG and put it on the iLiad. The user would then open the file on the iLiad, fill in the form, repeat this as many times as necessary and end up with a directory of PNG-Files of filled-in forms which could be uploaded automatically (The iLiad has WLAN.). This would be very easy to implement, I use parts of this approach myself.

2) The iLiad System is based on Linux, the X11 graphical system and GTK widget-toolkit. The Software Development Kit is available for free.
Since these components are extremely extremely common, building an application that suits your needs should be possible for any software developer who is used to Linux/X11/GTK.

3) The iLiad does not have a system that is specifically designed to filling in forms. However, see 1 and 2.

If there is software to read scorm on linux an implementation on the iLiad should be possible and might be easy.
However, today the iLiad only comes with applications to viewing (complex) html, pdf and different image formats.
