  1. Supporting Collaborative Learning Activities with SCORM Albert Ip, Digital Learning Systems Ric Canale, University of Melbourne

  2. SCORM Objective • Content interoperability • Across different LMS • Sharable Content Objects - SCOs

  3. Why SCORM? • “not for Higher Education” • Why not? • Can the deficiencies be rectified? • And remain consistent with ADL objectives?

  4. Structured Collaborative Learning • Online debate • Online role-play • Peer-reviewed group projects • Customised discussion forums • And more …

  5. Technical characteristics • Asynchronous/synchronous/mostly quasi-asynchronous • Role assignment and management • Activity support, data sharing and storage

  6. Typical LMS running SCORM Student views a series of SCOs delivered by the LMS LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3

  7. SCORM and collaboration in parallel • SCOs delivered by the LMS and collaborative activities in parallel via the LMS. Collaboration Tool LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3

  8. Proposed model Collaboration Server SCOs delivered by the LMS and some SCOs call collaboration services via the LMS. LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3

  9. Possible EML model • The Collaborative activity is modelled in EML and delivered by the LMS • EML - instructor, learner, resource • Collaborative learning? LMS SCO 1 SCO 2 SCO 3

  10. Implementation overview • SCORM run-time communications • Introduce new command - LMSPreinitialize() • Extend data model to specify • collaboration services • instantiation data for collaborative activity • These are 14 course related data elements and 11 session related data elements

  11. Implementation Details • Can be found in the paper… • Includes workflow implications • Typical use scenarios • Annotation tool • Online debate as an example structured collaborative learning activity

  12. The model as a general solution • Apply to services other than those of a collaboration server • Library services • Newsfeed • Content repositories • New pedagogical support tools

  13. Conclusion
