Applying S-P Chart Analysis as Feedback Mechanism in SCORM Assessment Material
Sheng-Bo Chen, National Taichung Institute of Technology, Department of Multimedia Design
Wednesday, January 18, 2006 4:30 PM – 5:15PM RM I501
This demo mainly presents how to implement an online assessment feedback mechanism into SCORM 2004 content package. This content package identifies if you are the teacher or students and provides the real-time assessment result collection, analysis, and online report for the teacher and students. The S-P Table (Takahiro Sato, 1974) was adopted as the analysis tool, and this content package provides S-P Curve automatic determination.

Different from always being added on LMS in the past, assessment feedback mechanism in this demo earns many advantages: not being assigned to any particular LMS, following the interoperation of SCORM, and enhancing the assessment analysis functions of SCORM.

Middleware and the SCORM Standard
Shawn Daniels, Recombo
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 5:15 PM – 6:00 PM RM I501
This presentation is intended for persons involved in the production and deployment of SCORM-compliant courseware. It explores the use of middleware applications to mediate between ELearning systems and eliminate interoperability problems. It describes the complex, distributed environment of commercial eLearning deployments and shows how, while standards provide the underlying possibility of portability, additional intervention is necessary to fulfill that promise. It further demonstrates how middleware can make learning content based on other standards, and non-standards compliant courseware SCORM compliant. The presentation closes with a discussion of how middleware applications can extend the usefulness of course data and metadata.

Providing Context for Reuse
Ian Douglas, Florida State University
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM RM I501
SCORM objects are liable to be the result of a front-end analysis. In front-end analysis someone looks at a performance problem and determines that some form of content is required to be delivered in either a training or performance support solution. This presentation will report on a project carried out in collaboration with front-end analysis units in the U.S. military. It was found that knowledge in these units is currently captured through non-standard documents, which are not easily shared. A tool will be demonstrated for capturing ‘analysis objects’, which are a SCORM compatible standard for the capture and storage of front-end performance analysis knowledge. Analysis objects can be linked to SCORM objects to provide the problem context that would facilitate reuse.

SCORM SCO Presentation Engine (S2PE)
Kraig Mentor, Concurrent Technologies Corporation
Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM RM I501
The presentation objective is to offer one solution for the simplification of SCO creation for developers and instructional designers. The presentation informs the audience about the use of XML to architect and implement immersive, varied content through the implementation of a pre-coded playback engine. The SCORM SCO Presentation Engine allows individuals lacking programming skills who previously could not implement SCORM content, to create entire SCOs, including branching and quizzes, by the use of simple XML. This approach takes content creation in a new direction by removing the code burden from the author and allowing them to focus on content creation.

Wasin Pirom, Chulalongkorn University
Thursday, January 18, 2006 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM RM I501
This paper proposes a design of asynchronous distance learning supporting system (ADLSS) according to the basic of SCORM requirements in order to increase ability of a learning management system (LMS). In the ADLSS, teachers produce and integrate knowledge and understanding to construct the learning objects (LOs), including contents structure and test module, according to the basic of SCORM specifications. The LOs are then uploaded into the server of LMS in which learners can download the LOs into clients of ADLSS and teachers can track learning activities of learning reports from LMS and then report the feedback of learning status. In addition, this project develops and designs the real time face detection for using in ADLSS in order to detect the face of learner.
