Luis,

My next question: If there are several plays in a method, currently the imsld package only displays the first one, or did I miss something? The specification says that in this case the plays should be accessible concurrently by the user. Do you plan to implement this in the future and what are your ideas about how it should be shown in the UI?

Yes, the plays will be shown concurrently, as well as the role parts. The reason why right now it doesn't behave that way is because of the table we are using to display the sequence. It was too confusing to display concurrent activities in the table.

That is why we are now working in a javascript tree (like the one LORS uses). It will be more easy to "navigate" inside the course using the tree. We are basing our development on the CopperCore tree, so when we finish with that, both of them should have pretty much the same behavior. Besides, with the table there was no sense to have into account the properties like "is-visible", or the sequence-type of the activity structures, but with the tree those properties will be interpreted/treated as they should.

BTW, we had a discussion about the learning-objects issue and we misunderstood the spec, so that will be fixed soon and commited this week.
