SCORM Content Model and Development Process |
|
|
|
SCENARIO: A manufacturer provided training with their products. The training was delivered to customers either directly by the manufacturer or as content designed to run on customer platforms. The manufacturer had a well-developed approach to their content that required learners to engage in simulations and to be assessed on their performance. The instructional design model included a complex means for computing overall results from the results on sub-tasks, multiple training objectives, and restricted remediation opportunities. Development of the simulations was to be outsourced. Results of the training needed to be tracked for the purposes of certification. To enable tracking and achieve cross-platform interoperability, the content was required to be SCORM conformant.
The problems faced by the instructional design team included implementing their instructional design model using SCORM; modifying the existing content development workflow to support the implementation; and creating a detailed set of requirements and specifications for use by an external content provider. SOLUTION: Eduworks was engaged to work for one week on-site with the instructional design team and to deliver a design and requirements document two weeks later. Eduworks helped the instructional design team get up to speed on SCORM and to create a compatible object model and SCORM-based sequencing strategy. Eduworks identified and documented precise requirements for external providers and created a skeletal metadata schema for use across all projects. RESULT: In the words of the customer: "We could never have created the design document and created it so quickly without you." |
