ReCourse Learning Design Editor and LD & QTI Runtime. ReCourse is an offline desktop application and targets educational practitioners and instructional designers with little experience with the technical specification of the IMS Learning Design specification. It supports modeling and arranging of learning activities and assessment activities graphically. It is based on the Eclipse plug-in framework that enables functionality to be flexibly extended, and current modules include rich text authoring, integration of services, a checker of conformance to IMS LD, visualising of modules, and upload to repositories.The resulting Unit of Learning can be delivered through SLeD or Astro players. For more information please see the ReCourse user guide and download pages. Authors may also want to install the TENCompetence LD Runtime system locally, so that they can try out their Units of Learning without uploading to a remote server. This includes the NewAPIS QTI engine, and the Wookie Widget Server.
