RE: [Flashcoders] SCORM development and packaging for LMS

2011-12-19 Thread Karina Steffens
Hi Matt,

That's a relief, I just re-read the technical requirements, and they state
Scorm 1.2 (although the server's help files mention both).

One last question for now - what do you use to generate the Manifest file?
Is there a freeware solution out there, or is it something done by hand?

Thanks,
Karina

 Oh no, go for old! 1.2 is so much easier and is still very very widely
 supported. But also ask your client.

  I guess I better aim for 2004 - since I'm starting from scratch,
 there's no
  point in going for an older protocol, although the many more files
 sounds
  a bit daunting. Also the idea of creating a manifest file with every
 single
  asset by hand...
 
  Thanks,

  Yeah a scorm package is a zip file. You'll need to include the
  manifest file, imsmanifest.xml, that contains the course info. Scorm
  2004 has many more files for more metadata that you'll need. Check
 out
  scorm.com for info and google a PDF called in the eye of the scorm
  it's a good primer.

  downloaded the AS3 classes and the JavaScript wrapper, and it's

  But how do I go about compiling the lot into a SCORM package for
  uploading
  to the LMS? What is a SCORM package anyway? Is it just a zip file
  with all
  the ingredients, or a special format that requires a tool? The
  TotalLMS
  files mention something about compatible packages for proper
  versioning.
 
  Thanks,

  I've used pipwerks SCORM wrapper with an elearning course I did a
  couple
  years back.  Just ExternalInterface calls and letting the
 javascript
  do
  the
  dirty work for me seemed best for me at the time.
