ADL was instrumental in forming LETSI. At the time of its formation, LETSI was to take over the evolution and "stewardship" of SCORM from the ADL. This was reflected in LETSI's original organizational documents, which identified the stewardship of SCORM as the first order of business in a broader program aimed at enabling and promoting global LET systems interoperability.

To this end, LETSI initiated an open discussion of what needed to done with SCORM. LETSI set out to gather the requirements for a modernized framework from the broadest possible set of stakeholders. LETSI's "SCORM 2.0" Project drew over 100 white papers, spawned months of online discussion threads, and concluded with a sold-out Workshop in October 2008.

The results of the project, summarized in LETSI's Assumptions Document, made it clear that the community was ready to reconsider the underlying assumptions of SCORM and to focus on creating a modern framework to replace SCORM. However, the stewardship of SCORM will now not be transferred but remains supported by the ADL, while LETSI will pursue its broader program of global LET systems interoperability.

LETSI has turned its attention to the development of an Open Platform for Learning and will continue to participate actively in the SCORM community, ensuring that its Open Platform will meet the requirements of that community.

Since a transition in ADL's leadership is set to take place over the next few months, the long-term relationships between the ADL and other organizations (including LETSI) remain to be clarified. LETSI expects, however, that the ADL will continue its long tradition of contributing to and applying the work of other organizations.
