Learning standards: Can Moodle export SCORM?

Title says it all really.
We're in the process of entering Moodle for the BETT06 awards in the UK, and one of the questions is about interoperability: I'm right that we can't export Moodle activities in any format other than Moodle's own, amn't I?

Hi Miles,

I have been using Moodle in teaching for nearly one year. In my experience, Moodle (include the latest version 1.5.2) hasn't supported this feature yet.

Hope that we will get some awards of BETT06. Thanks for your work and your friends in UK.

Good luck!

Regarding interoperability, as with the whole of Moodle, it's strongly influenced by the community of developers and users. Thus, many import formats are supported, whereas there is little demand for export formats other than Moodle's own. thoughtful

The following question import formats are supported:
Aiken, Blackboard, Cloze, Course Test Manager, Examview, GIFT, Hot Potato, Learnwise, Missing Word, WebCT.

According to the 1.5 release notes, the quiz activity module
  • Allows questions rendered and scored externally (e.g. by mathematical assessment engines) to be integrated seamlessly into Moodle quizzes via the RQP web services protocol
  • Is prepared for the handling of IMS QTI questions once web services for these become available
  • Has new export types - IMS QTI (2.0) and xhtml
The SCORM module is now fully conformant with the SCORM 1.2 standard and AICC packages can now be imported.

Blackboard 5.5. course import is also supported.

Moodle supports a range of authentication mechanisms:
CAS, FirstClass, IMAP, LDAP, NNTP, PAM, POP3, Shibboleth.

Brilliant, Helen.
Just what I needed.
Do you know about the extent to which Moodle copes with SCORM run-time calls?

Actually, my post above is mostly about interoperability and not much about SCORM. wink

Re. SCORM, please check Bobo's answers to some Very Simple SCORM Questions (a misleading titled discussion! wink) As users say, Moodle has one of the best implementations of SCORM - a big THANK YOU to Bobo! big grin
