    Jamie Smith

    I currently work in the development of pilot training technologies at Southwest Airlines / AirTran Airways. I am also a Captain on the Boeing 717 for AirTran Airways. I have been involved in the development of web applications, online learning tools, and e-learning content for nearly 10 years where I built and launched a successful implementation of Moodle that AirTran has been using for the past 7 years. I developed an add-in for Moodle's 2.4.1 release that includes support for the Experience API and Articulate's Storyline Tin Can packages. However, we have taken a different turn in our LMS choice and abandoned that project. We now use Storyline for our e-learning content production and are using the HTML5 output to deliver to company provided iPads. Please feel free to contact me with your experiences or questions regarding Moodle, the Experience API, or Tin Can as a practical implementation.
