Design and development of learning management system based on scorm standard
Abstract:
In e-learning environment or web-based learning, the Internet is a means for
distributing and exchanging information. The result is a large number of Internetbased
distance learning platforms and online learning contents. A learning
management system (LMS) is a learning platform which is necessary for supporting
online learning.
Unfortunately, e-Learning training materials have been developed largely on a
proprietary, company-by-company basis. As a result, often there is no
interoperability between Internet-based content and LMS. E-Learning standards are
designed to ensure that e-learning software is interoperable, reusable and accessible
via the Internet.
SCORM, developed by Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), is a collection
of specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive suite of
E-learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility, and reusability of
Web-based learning content.
The goal of this research is to design and develop LMS and courseware that
meet ADLs SCORM version 1.2 conformance requirements.
In this research, the learning management system and courseware that comply
with SCORM were developed. The system is a learner-centred learning system that
has three main features including import SCORM-conformant content, launch
SCORM-conformant content, and track learner progress.
The system was analyzed and designed using object-oriented methodology with
UML. The system was implemented based on open source application including
Java web application technology and MySQL in order to make the system platformindependent.
The system and courseware were verified using SCORM Conformance Test
Suite provided by ADL. The system passes with a conformance level of LMSRTE1.
The courseware in the content package form passes with a conformance level
of ADLCP-PIF1.
