Hi there,

I'm looking for more documents on SCORM module. In fact, I wish to develop another module or plugin for SCORM module, but I don't know where to start.

Regards,

Hi,

can you explain, what you are searching for? TheSCORM Module is a SCORM player and not a SCORM editor. So we don't need more documentation for use. What is the goal of your development? Did you look in the SCORM Forum here? Did you look on http://docs.moodle.org?

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the reply. For sure I've been looking around the developer documents.
I might have not clearly explained what I wish to do in my last post.

Here is what I wish to do

Hi,

sorry that I have to say, its not sensefull!

SCORM is a quasi standard for description of learning content and processes for use in different LMS. This standard is a common industrial standard and doesn't include communication between students.

Yes, you can add a link to a forum or include a frame in a SCORM page, but what you can't do is to integrate it in SCORM. Thats not a modle module problem, but a SCORM standard problem. If you try to it, there will be lots of problems with use of the SCORM package in other LMS.

I think you should try to look on Learning Design standard. http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=44

moodle is going to Learning Design support. This standard integrates interactions between students as part of a learning setting.

Did you see LAMS http://lamscommunity.org? LAMS creates learning processes for groups and could be used in several LMS, including moodle.

Thanks for the clarification.
I know it doesn't really make sense to make changes to SCORM module in MOODLE.

I wanna make what I'm about to develop as independent of SCORM module as possible and that is why I was looking for more docs on SCORM.

For now, I encounter a lot of problems, but hope I can make up to something :D
