Abstract Text:SCORM provides the developer with the ability to create a learning object that communicates with the CMS/LMS, and also works in any CMS/LMS that is SCORM compliant including WebCT Vista. Many tools like Macromedia Flash, DreamWeaver, PowerPoint, and RoboDemo, are already capable of generating SCORM compliant material. Many require the use of extensions, components or plug-ins. SCORM allows learning objects to report scores, progress, and completion to the CMS/LMS and retrieve information about the learner including minimum acceptable scores for completion. This presentation will give participants a brief overview of SCORM, the requirements for creating a SCORM compliant learning object, and the tools that are available to create them. The presenters will showcase several SCORM complaint learning objects, with the intention of stimulating participants minds about the possibilities for using them. The presentation will provide some basic technical information and definitions for beginners and advanced users.
