［4］ Although no formal announcement has been made, Aaron Silvers, a contractor for ADL, has announced on the ADL website that "ADL is embracing a definite future with what we're currently calling the next generation of SCORM…expressed through the Tin Can API". In other words, the Tin Can API (which represents a significant break from traditional SCORM) is being presented as "the next generation of SCORM).

［7］ California's high-profile Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has promoted the use of digital textbooks in the state's schools, launching a scheme to provide free maths and science textbooks in 2009 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8090450.stm) and passing a law to establish a California Digital Open Source Library for school textbooks in 2012 (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/09/california-takes-a-big-step-forward-free-digital-open-source-textbooks/263047/).

［9］ In his dialogue Phaedrus, Socrates argues that "Writing has this strange quality, and is very like painting; for the creatures of painting stand like living beings, but if one asks them a question, they preserve a solemn silence. And so it is with written words; you might think they spoke as if they had intelligence, but if you question them, wishing to know about their sayings, they always say only one and the same thing." In other words, written text cannot participate in the sort of active, rational discourse that Socrates referred to as the dialectic. See http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/phaedrus.html.
