<p class="MsoNormal">I have an academic colleague who currently uses CourseLab – I was telling him about xerte and he raised the following points if anyone could comment (I know can output as SCORM but not familiar enough with xerte on the other point):</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">What I would need from such an authoring tool:</p>
