MINE SCORM Authoring

Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) has become one of the important standards of courseware format and platform development in distance learning. We follow the metadata definition of SCORM 1.3 draft, and developed a system which supports collaborative courseware authoring. Components of courseware are easily selected by a designer. The system is able to suggest an optimal learning sequence, with a set of automatically generated lecture components. A CSCW-like collaborative environment is also implemented under the Windowing environment.
We follow the draft specification of SCORM 1.3 and developed a system which supports collaborative courseware authoring. The tool allows users to compose, decompose, and reuse SCORM-based courseware. Important concepts such as sequence rules, metadata definitions, and user definable templates are implemented. A CSCW-like collaborative environment is also implemented under a networked Windowing environment. This tool is supported by the Institute for Information Industry, Taiwan. A SCORM 1.3-based LMS was developed earlier by III. Our authoring tool produces courseware which is compliant to both the SCORM 1.3 LMS by ADL and the LMS by III, Taiwan.
