Metadata • SCOs • XML • CORDRA Why SCORM? • Personalized • Effective • Efficient • Measurable • Reusable • Economical • Measurable • Customized • Immediate • Effective • Distributed • Measurable c. 1970 - 1990 c. 1990 - 2000 c. 2000 - 2010 Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) Management of learning plans via competencies and enabling objectives Learning Management Systems (LMS) Management of learning environment in an enterprise setting Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) Adaptive delivery of content based on test results Web-based Training (WBT) Delivery of content in a “new” medium Content Management Systems Structuring, distribution & utilization of information resources Information Management Structuring, distribution & utilization of information resources
What’s the Problem? Customization requires • manipulation of internal structure of SCOs • Intelligence on part of authoring & delivery environments • Standardized representations that separate • Content • Presentation • Structure • Context • Behaviors SCORE Project Example
Applications: Learning, Education &Training Performance Support Documentation Library Services Publishing Others … Stakeholders Training & Education Organizations Organizations & people who participate in the content life cycle Organizations that develop & maintain software Who Cares?
Goals of Workshop • Purpose • Asses the issues, benefits, and maturity of applying XML to SCORM-based content. • Outcomes • Information sharing on the ways that XML is being applied to SCORM-based content and the capabilities it enables; • Identification of high-priority capabilities that are sufficiently technically mature to consider a general SCORM solution. • Guidance to ADL-sponsored research projects exploring strategic emerging capabilities; • Identification ofcommon goals and next steps, including a recommendation on a possible open initiative to define an XML content strategy for SCORM.
