Hi John

It's actually more the case that the SCO needs to be moderately 'dynamic' in that it will need to read in data about the user that is well beyond the bounds of what is available with SCORM and then display it in some way.

Quite possibly you could do all this with xAPI but from what I understand from having spoken to Russell separately is that the data is coming from a pre-existing system, so converting this into in xAPI compatible format would be considerably more work that can really be justified.
