I've posted before about how I think that much of the technical architecture that underpins the commercial e-learning marketplace is several years behind the 2.0 Web and how efforts like ADL /SCORM/ LETSI need to jump ahead in order to maintain relevance and to do the job that I think still needs to be done - namely serving as a focal point for ... down this road with their SCORM 2.0 Call for Papers and the upcoming SCORM 2.0 Workshop. I am particularly heartened by this passage that describes some the Challenges and Objectives facing SCORM 2.0: "Support existing and ...

So I spent most of last week at the LETSI / SCORM 2.0 Workshop in Pensacola, FL. I used CoverItLive to do a ... I did want to be sure and point out that the workshop developed and is currently refining about 30 use cases for SCORM 2.0 . This is in addition to the 100+ white papers that have been written and submitted to LETSI on SCORM 2.0 topics. All that tells me is that there is considerable intellectual firepower being directed at this issue of what SCORM ... , blogs, etc. I will say this...whether or not LETSI or SCORM 2.0 succeeds or not - it will not be because it lacks ...

I recently posted about the SCORM 2.0 Call for Papers and how I feel this is a very important moment for SCORM and that I think it would be great if the papers came back with big,hairy audacious goals that really sought to move the industry forward and so forth. As if so often the case, I am merely following what Tom King has also already thought about: "I think this is important, as we could be at the cusp of a make-or-break situation for evolution ( or ... I???ve ever met anyone, outside the DOD / ADL who doesn???t think SCORM and AICC are over engineered pieces of ...

... culprit could be how I have the SCORM settings set. The reason I believe SCORM tracking may be the culprit is because I have had nothing but success with flash based eLearning courses that do not use any kind of SCORM tracking. The only difference here is that I am using a zipped SCORM package as opposed to a standard .swf file. I am going to start by trying some different SCORM settings and run a few more tests. I am currently recording all interactions so I am hoping ...

In my previous post SCORM and Bandwidth , I described an issue I am having with a Captivate eLearning tutorial ... the zipped SCORM package. I came to this conclusion by posting a link to just the .swf file and it works great for the users who had issues. How come the .swf file works great but the zipped SCORM package freezes up? I also tried posting a link to the html file and that froze just like the zipped SCORM package. At this point I can move forward with the project using just the .swf file but I will not be able to track through SCORM and I won't be able to use the ...

There have been lots of good comments and discussion on the post Test SCORM Courses with an LMS : eLearning Technology . Well worth looking at some of them. The basic issue covered in the post was how to test SCORM courses prior to loading on a given LMS (e.g., Docent, SumTotal, Saba, Learn.com, etc.). We talked about the SCORM test suite, SCORM test wrappers, and various test tools such as Trident , Reload player (http://www.reload.ac.uk/scormplayer.html), SCORM Test ... . Quite a great bit of discussion and useful information. If you are interested in testing your scorm ...

I just read an article in Military Training Technology about how the Joint Advanced Distributed Learning (JADL) Co-Laboratory is working on a project to "research methods for enabling interoperability, accessibility, and reusability of SCORM compliant learning content in 3-D virtual worlds". Although this article was published in the October issue, I went to the JADL website and found that the project kicked off in May 2007. Regardless, this effort promises to advance the integration of SCORM and MMOGs by researching training opportunities, the characteristics of learning content ...

One good question to asked by one of my developers during our weekly meeting. Should we support SCORM for a new e-learning 2.0 platform? For me, SCORM and e-learning 2.0 totally different world. SCORM , centralized ... ? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying SCORM is bad or anything, it just that it doesn’t make sense to incorporate features of SCORM in e-Learning 2.0 for the reasons below: - SCORM does not support learning through remixing of pre-authored content. Some SCORM content does have IP or copyright to control distribution and ...

The last day of the eLearning Guild Annual Gathering was only a half day, but my brain was ready for a little rest. Amazingly, for the third day in a row I made it to one of the 7:15 Breakfast Bytes (only a few minutes late). The speaker for the one I wanted to go to didn’t show, so I went to “Is SCORM worth it?” No one came up with a conclusive answer, but the discussion was lively and engaging. In general people seem frustrated by SCORM’s limitations and problems, but understand the need for a cross-vendor standard. My opinion is that SCORM has a place, but ...

Relevant to the recent discussions around Do You WANT an LMS? Does a Learner WANT an LMS? and the possibility that we could soon be seeing something that looks more like a Wiki+Tracking capability, I just saw the news: Vignette Provides Online, On-Demand Training For Customers .

I often find myself daydreaming when dealing with LMS problems. I say to myself, "If I built an LMS, it would…….." Ah, if only it were that easy. This line of thinking leads me to these questions: How would you design your perfect LMS? What features would you include (or exclude)? How would it differ from current LMS products on the market? I’ll start this off, but I really would love to hear your thoughts. Who knows, maybe (if we’re lucky) some LMS vendors are listening! My perfect LMS would… Support the AICC, SCORM 1.2, and SCORM ...

I finished up my first project developed with Captivate and decided to take the opportunity to dive into SCORM with Moodle. Until now, I have only experimented with moodle and have never had to worry about SCORM when publishing courses. We are now taking our eLearning programs to a larger scale and Moodle will sure save us a lot of headaches as opposed to using MS Sharepoint as we have been doing. So, I decided to take the leap and try and figure out what this whole SCORM thing was about. At first I had a hard time finding specific instructions of how to make a SCORM class work in ...

How many of you know that SCORM is being updated? How many of you know that the SCORM standard is being moved from ADL to LETSI ? You've all got busy day jobs and just trying to get the latest project out the door is enough. BUT, if you work with SCORM in ANY way, you should be dialed into the changes, and you probably are. Maybe I'm the last one to the table on this topic. So in case you need to be caught up we are currently at SCORM 2004 Third Edition . And the next version that is being worked on is SCORM2.0 . White Papers are due by August 15, 2008 White ...

In my Ten Predictions for eLearning for 2008 , I said - Wiki + SCORM + Add-ins will become more common for easy authoring. Not sure if he saw my post, but I was just reminded by Tim Seager from Xerceo about their Prescribe tool that provides: Full Wiki, RSS functionality that is SCORM conformant for tracking and managing competencies. He also pointed me to a video that shows the tool in action. However, this video may be the worst video I've ever seen in terms of making me want to use something. It's horribly cryptic, you can't tell what's happening and it defeats the whole ...
