When I saw the first and the last of the 4 speakers I suppose you better save the money. Macromedia as company supports the e-Learning standards rather halfhearted. If you read the according white papers from their website (available free of charge) related to this topic, most of them dillute the terms. Per instance one papers claims, an asset in the internal "library" of a single flash film can be seen as a "Learning Object". From an e-learning standards view (IEEE, IMS, SCORM etc.) this is complete nonsens. In MM described "best practrice"scenarios you need from two to nearly all MM products like cold fusion, dreamweaver etc. to realize them. This marketing driven very special view is confusing especially to e-Learning standards novizes. Ever asked why MM is not contributing Members of IMS? (Independent from this: some of MM products are great tools and can be used very well to produce standard conforming content and functionalty, but should be used not the way MM talks!).
There are anough sources free of charge. Google about "SCORM" and read the pros and cons. Read the introductions to SCORM available at ADL. Ask questions in their forum. Read the "Best Practice Guidelines" available for each IMS specification like "Content Packaging", "Learning Design" etc. at the IMS website.
