Can someone test it. You can easily create a scorm package with the open source software: exelearning. It would be great if the iLiad can play such files.

If I understand correctly what is said in
exelearning.org, to be able to use a SCORM, you need a CMS server capable of importing SCORM packages and a client to cennect to the server to access to the content. And I see that all the servers listed in exelearning use as client a simple web browser (firefox in the examples).
Case 1: accessing an external CMS server
Short reply: Not yet, but feasible in the future (accessing via wifi...)
Long reply: In the iliad there are two web browsers, dillo (very simple) and minimo (based on firefox, but the iliad version is crippled in many ways, so it's not suitable for web browsing). I don't think that either one will work for e-learning but for the most simple pages of the CMS. In the future it would be possible to get firefox running in the iliad, but don't count on having that soon (and AFAICT, it'll need a beefy SD card with a Debian installation and some software that's not yet written so that to use that in the illiad... and firefox is very slow to boot on those devices, if my experience with debian on the zaurus is translatable to the iliad).
Case 2: Both the browser and the CMS server on the iliad
I just don't know the requirements of those servers (docebo, dockeos, atutor...). If they are not too demanding (i.e. not based on apache/php, but in C/C++), it should be possible to run them in the iliad... but as I said, I don't know.
Hope it clarifies anything
