  1. The Rock Made Me Do It!Quick SCORM and an Online Geology Course Presented by: Dr. Raymond Gildner Department of Geosciences Samantha S. Birk Instructional Designer Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne

  2. Challenge of an online geology course • Geology is a very “physical” physical science course • Hands-on laboratories are often an essential part of the learning experience • You learn about rocks by looking at rocks • Practice, practice, practice • How do you put rocks in their hands, when it is an online course? • An online mineral identification lab

  3. Practice, practice, practice • One is good, more are better • The mineral identification exercise was designed with adaptability in mind • Content and functionality separated • For a new mineral, just change • The images • The properties and answer key • Each a separate file from the page functions

  4. Making it useful • The LMS - Blackboard Vista, in our case (formerly WebCT) • Assessment? • “What’s this ‘SCORM module’ thingy do?”

  11. SCORM Reference Model An agreed-upon method that enables computers to share information between the SCO and tools (e.g. grade book, tracking, etc.) THIS MAKES SCOs PORTABLE

  12. SCORM

  13. Browser and LMS communication • The LMS needs to know it is a SCO(done during the upload process) • The LMS needs to know which SCO it is, and what files are included (done through a manifest file) • The LMS needs to call for the correct functions to create the link between the content and the database (done through API and JavaScript file) Reload— http://www.reload.ac.uk/editor.html
