  2. SCORM – content can be “trapped” • The Icodeon Common Cartridge implementation • IMS Common Cartridge – evaluating the claim to “Free the Content”

  3. SCORM – content can be “trapped” • The Icodeon Common Cartridge implementation • IMS Common Cartridge – evaluating the claim to “Free the Content”

  4. Implementing SCORM: Icodeon SCORM Player • Since 2005 • Integrated into e-learning systems, LMS

  5. Trend 2008-2009: SCORM use is increasing. Corporate training, K12 and Higher Education sectors

  6. Icodeon SCORM Player Icodeon Common Cartridge Player The Player applications enable vendors of e-learning systems to rapidly add the full feature set of e-learning standards.

  7. SCORM Run Time Environment • Content uses a SCORM API that must be added to the browser. • Tight integration between content availability and content sequence. • User interface controls specified by SCORM replace standard browser devices. … SCORM requires tight coupling between content & run time environment

  8. Common Internet Functions: Browser vs. SCORM Run Time

  9. Free the Content? • SCORM based content is “trapped” because: • tight coupling between content and environment • content does not use standard browser devices for common internet functions Does IMS Common Cartridge really “Free the Content” ?

  10. SCORM – one way in which content can be “trapped” • The Icodeon Common Cartridge implementation • IMS Common Cartridge – evaluating the claim to “Free the Content”

  11. Both SCORM and IMS CC Use Packaged Content Icodeon Common Cartridge Player Icodeon SCORM Player

  12. Icodeon Common Cartridge Platform and Player Player Application Web Services Platform HTTP IMS Common Cartridge can be implemented to break the coupling between content & environment, and to use standard browser devices.

  13. IMS Common Cartridge can be implemented to break the coupling between content and environment… … some examples:

  14. Free the Content: Example 1 QTI Assessment in a Common Cartridge

  15. Free the Content: Example 2 Discussion Topic in a Common Cartridge

  16. ? ? + LMS Apps, Blogs, Wikis, Widgets, Feeds. Mash-Ups… Icodeon Common Cartridge Web Services Platform

  17. Icodeon Common Cartridge Web Services Platform Platform URL Language Platform URL Language enables simple HTTP requests to be made to the web services platform: http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/...

  18. URL Language: Example 1 Thumbnail Views of Cartridge Content http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/{item-name}/resource.jpg http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/~first/resource.gif http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/~last/resource.png

  19. URL Language: Example 2 QTI Assessment http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/{item-name}/assessment.js

  20. URL Language: Example 3 Cartridge Content Menus http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/~root.html (.xml) http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/~root.json http://{host-name}/cartridges/{cartridge-name}/items/~root.atom
