SCORM has become the de-facto standard in course interoperability, and with the advent of SCORM 2004 course creators can now specify how learning content is sequenced using the SCORM standard. However, for the course creator to understand and use the SCORM sequencing standard he or she must understand the use of and manipulation of SCORM’s complicated sequencing rules and conceptual structures....

The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a profile of several elearning specification to ensure the reusability and interoperability of elearning content in web based Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Learning grids learning environments built on the technology of grid services are a promising new approach to enhance quality of elearning by overcoming the page oriented structure...

In this paper we present the evolution of a collaborative courseware generating system that is featured by XML-based course structure representation, JSP-based dynamic courseware presentation, and WebDAV-based collaborative courseware authoring. While the first system implementation employs a proprietary design using a self-defined XML DTD to represent the course structure, the second and the t...

Standardized learning management systems and contents are becoming prevalent over time with the growing adoption of Web-based learning technologies. The complexity adherent in the SCORM run-time environment APIs and data model, however, makes it difficult for instructional designers, content developers and LMS vendors to tailor their contents and LMSs for the SCORM model. In this paper, our own...

In this research work, the results obtained from the SCORM Cloud module verification in a learning platform (Learning Management System) Moodle 1.9.19, are presented. For this module verification, learning objects based on standard SCORM 2004 Fourth Edition were used, with sequencing according to ADL proposed template 10 and whose sequencing process was developed in a previous, published, resea...

The SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) Metadata Information Model is a reference to the IMS Learning Resource Metadata Information Model, which itself is based on the IEEE 1484.12.1 LOM (Learning Object Metadata) standard. Since the LOM standard possesses a rather complex data model consisting of over 60 metadata entries, searching SCORM metadata has to overcome several challenges ...

The purpose of this discussion paper is to examine approaches for extending the ADL SCORM standard with additional metadata based on ADL approved methods. An introduction to the ADL SCORM standard is presented followed by a description of the SCORM components. Examples of how SCORM is lacking LOM in the areas pedagogy, adaptive learning and learning assessment data are then discussed. According...

La implantación de estándares es actualmente una necesidad de los usuarios de las plataformas de gestión de contenidos para, fundamentalmente, facilitar el aprovechamiento de los recursos, independientemente del sistema a emplear. Entre los estándares que hoy en día existen en el área de los contenidos formativos destaca la especificación SCORM. En este trabajo se describe como se ha completado...
