I was at the UNFOLD meeting last week – a way of catching up on what everyone else is up to in the field of learning design. I came away with some more ideas about what to do with the development of the player. One of the key aspects that seemed to come out of the meeting – especially from people new-ish to LD – was the lack of sample LD packages to look at, something that the UNFOLD team are going to try and resolve!
I guess the main thing for me was that no-one was particularly sure what an LD player should actually look like – so this is good news for me! as it means that people won’t have too high expectations of what I come up with 
Also, once the player is ready at least it will be a starting point, from which people will be able to say whether or not they like it and whether it’s heading in the right direction.
The next step for me, now that I’ve created some sample content, is to look at how to display the global properties (in LD level B spec) and also allow users to be able to edit these properties (where necessary).
