Common file format for interactive whiteboards? ... maybe, but not yet!

.doc .xls and now .iwb!

I posted on this in November 2007 when Becta announced that RM had been contracted to develop a common file format that will allow interchange netween proprietary brands. Well, a technical specification has now been 'made available' by Becta ( I assume its been developed by RM?). According to the press release 'further support' will follow in Autumn 2009. Becta expect the standard to be adopted across the industry and claim that the initiative is supported by manufacturers. An industry insider  tells me that manufacturer support is not universal, with one of the big names standing back, so we shall see if this becomes reality!
