SCORM bookmarks

Hi all,

Im very new to Moodle. Im wondering if there is a way for users to 'bookmark' a particular slide in a SCORM package (for example something a student would want to look at again, like a complex table). Are there any SCORM authoring packages that can do this? Is there a way for Moodle to track this and for users to access a list of their bookmarked slides? How would i go about getting the SCORM package to communicate with Moodle to do this?

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, i have looked around but couldn't really find a straight answer anywhere.

Many thanks in advance for any help

Matt

Hi Alex,
the bookmark functionality is achieved by using the SCORM (v1.2 here) cmi.core.lesson_location element of the CMI datamodel: any LMS supporting SCORM (v1.2 here), Moodle too, could provide this value to the content as well as the SCORM content could manage this value by means of the SCORM API.

Usually the bookmark is set by the content when attending to something like a slideshow, updating that value on each new slide to let the user be asked if she/he wants to start where she/he left.

You can find a list of tools in http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Creating_SCORM_Content: unfortunately that nice tools screening doesn't clearly report the availability of the bookmark too, except for some tools.

HTH,
Matteo
