Provided by JCA Solutions
A Practical Guide to SCORM is a high-quality professional development course designed to prepare a Training Professional for success. In this course, you will learn how to actually create SCORM conformant courseware and have the opportunity to experiment with a number of tools you will need in your program.
Who Should Attend?
This is a hands-on SCORM development course intended for instructional designers and developers that require direct hands-on knowledge of SCORM issues. Although the labs are structured to support a variety of skill sets and backgrounds, students should have an awareness of basic web development, HTML, Javascript, and XML technologies as they will be featured within the exercises.
Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to provide students with a practical understanding of the SCORM specifications and implementation techniques for modern courseware development. Students will review key technologies and standards via hands-on exercises to re-enforce the information presented.
The students will examine the techniques for overcoming the challenges of designing and implementing SCORM-conformant courseware and will be presented with real-world examples utilizing the principles of ADL and SCORM. They will also be introduced to the tools and resources that are available to the ADL/ SCORM community. Special attention will be paid to discussing the critical issues and current trends associated with ADL and SCORM development.
