Security Vulnerability In WordPress Cloud App
Categories: Products, SCORM Cloud, SCORM Cloud
9 Sep 2011
On Wednesday, we learned of a security vulnerability in the SCORM Cloud WordPress Plugin we developed. WordPress has a code auditor that picked it up and flagged the plugin. Thanks to their quick notification, we were able to fix the vulnerability and have published an updated plugin. If you are using the WordPress SCORM Cloud plugin, we recommend that you get the latest version (1.0.7) ASAP.
If you ever notice a security problem in any of our software, please let us know so we can get it patched up. Also, all of the SCORM Cloud Apps we’ve developed are open source and publicly available on Github for you to enhance…don’t feel like you need to wait for us if there is something you need.

Moodle has long been a stalwart open source LMS. In fact, they just celebrated their 9th birthday. In that time their platform has matured and progressed from version 1.0 to the most recent release which now starts with a ‘2’.
When we launched SCORM Cloud, we pre-built a few integrations we thought made sense, including a Moodle mod. Well that was back in the early days of 1.9. For those running 1.9, the SCORM Cloud mod allows you to play SCORM 2004 content on your Moodle site.
In v2.0 Moodle revised their plugin architecture. Until now, there wasn’t a mod for the 2.0 platform that could support SCORM 2004.
You asked (and asked again), and we listened. The updated SCORM Cloud mod for Moodle 2.x is ready and now available. Follow the steps listed here to get started.
Can’t stand the wait next time? The SCORM Cloud integrations we’ve created are all open source and freely available on Github.

Helping LINGOs help organizations that help others

LINGOs is a consortium of over 60 international humanitarian relief, development, conservation and health organizations. They provide the latest learning technologies and courses from industry leading partners so their non-profit members can increase the skill levels of their employees, thereby increasing the impact of their programs.
While LINGOs provides a robust, hosted platform to administer the courseware, some members have additional needs that require using other LMS solutions. For those organizations, LINGOs needed a way to deliver their course library to the member’s external LMS, while still controlling access to the content.
Enter SCORM Cloud with Dispatch
LINGOs partnered with Rustici Software to manage the delivery of the content. By using the Dispatch feature within SCORM Cloud, LINGOs member organizations can access the LINGOs course library within their own SCORM-compliant LMS while LINGOs continues to retain control of distribution and access to the content.
“Rustici Software has been tremendously supportive of LINGOs and SCORM Dispatch has been an invaluable tool for us. It has enabled us to maintain control of the intellectual property that has been generously made available by our corporate partners, while allowing our members to make independent decisions regarding the LMS that best suits their needs. SCORM Dispatch allows us to accommodate those decisions without costly and time-intensive custom interfaces.” — Eric Berg, Executive Director, LINGOs

PENS: Turbo Charging Your eLearning

These days, with one click, you can buy a song from iTunes and automatically sync it to your iPod. Remember how long it used to take to buy a CD, burn the songs to your computer and transfer them to your MP3 player? Just think about how much time you saved from this one little improvement- more time to listen to your music, which is what you wanted to do in the first place.

How first and last aren’t that far apart

There is a trophy here at Rustici — the Donnelly Cup. Reserved for the lowest rung on the ping-pong ladder, the Donnelly Cup serves as a reminder to the owner that there is always room for improvement. The Cup changes hands often, and currently resides in Joe’s office. Joe prominently displays the trophy and will challenge anyone to a duel to share its inspiration.
Another trophy also appeared at our offices recently —SCORM Cloud earned a Gold Medal in the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology Awards for Best Advance in Social Learning Technology. When we capture a gold medal we like to celebrate, and we’d like to say “thank you” to Brandon Hall and our fellow winners. We are in good company on a list which includes many of our customers.
What’s even more exciting than our new bling are the possibilities that SCORM Cloud offers to advance social learning technology. It allows you to turn virtually any online platform into a track-able learning environment. Whether it’s using the pre-built WordPress plugin to turn your blog into a full blown training source, or developing your own app on top of our API, SCORM Cloud allows you to bring learning to where learners live.
So while the Donnelly Cup recognizes the potential for ping pong greatness, we see similar opportunities with SCORM Cloud to inspire new applications within eLearning.
If you have an inspiring use of SCORM Cloud, share it with us or let us know what you’d like to see it do next.
