Assessment

• Formative Assessment
• Multiple choice objective type assessment
• Assignments

23
Standards Conformance

• Content Standards
• AICC (Content Structure, Launch, Communication
  API, Data Model)
• IEEE LTSC (Metadata Dictionary)
• IMS (Content Packaging, Metadata XML Binding)

24
Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)

• A means to facilitate interoperability among
  web-based learning products
• A set of interrelated specifications designed to
  meet DoDs ADL high- level requirements
• A process to bring together disparate groups and
  interests
• A bridge from general emerging technologies to
  commercial implementations
• In nutshell
• A collection of specifications collected from
  multiple sources by Advanced Distributed Learning
  (ADL) to provide a comprehensive suite of
  e-learning capabilities that enable
  accessibility, interoperability, reusability and
  cost-effectiveness of Web based learning
  content.

25
SCORM Implementation Procedure

• Discovering learning objects within the storage
  space.
• Creating Metadata for the learning objects using
  the Metadata generator
• Verifying the XML file containing the Metadata
  information for SCORM conformance using the ADL
  Test Suite
• Creating web deliverable versions of the learning
  objects keeping the RTE requirements in mind
• Checking the generated learning object for SCORM
  RTE conformance using the ADL Test Suite
• Cataloging the learning object and storage

31
Observations from Students Feedback

• Over all it is good experience of learning. I
  would like to join more advanced version of this
  course. And also need practical training.
• The course description is nice, technical content
  is good and simulations are helpful in
  understanding the concepts.
• Synchronization issues between slide transitions
  need to be resolved.
• Simulations must be downloadable.
