      C/LT/SCORMRENEW Standard for Learning Technology–Data Model for Content Object Communication

      • This Standard describes a data model to support the interchange of agreed upon data elements and their values between a learning-related content object and a runtime service (RTS) used to support learning management. This Standard does not specify the means of communication between a content object and an RTS nor how any component of a learning environment shall behave in response to receiving data in the form specified. This Standard is based on a related data model defined in the “Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) Guidelines For Interoperability,” version 3.4, defined by the Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC). To balance the need to support existing implementations with the need to make technical corrections and support emerging practice, this Standard selectively includes those data elements from the CMI specification that are commonly implemented; renames some data elements taken from the CMI specification to clarify their intended meaning; modifies the data types of data elements taken from the CMI specification to reflect ISO standard data types and internationalization requirements; removes some organizational structures used in the CMI specification to group data elements that are specific to the AICC community of practice and not generally applicable; and introduces some data elements not present in the CMI specification to correct known technical defects in data elements taken from that specification.

      C/LT/SLLL Standard for Creating Spoken Tutorials Enabling Self-learning in Local Language

      • This standard defines a protocol based robust framework that enables creation of spoken tutorials for self-learning. The tutorials use screencast technology that helps in computer-aided instruction bridging the literacy and language divides. The spoken tutorial is an audio-video instructional material created for self-learning through the screencast technology. The tutorials achieve the objective of creating documentation for free and open source software, overcome the challenge of the lack of teachers, enable IT literacy training accessible to students weak in English and serve as a mechanism to conduct tests for the participants and issue certificates. This standard highlights the pedagogical issues and lays stress on the methodology to create the tutorials. It also elaborates on the process of creation of spoken tutorials from content outline, writing the script, novice check, recording, maintaining the time and translation and dubbing. Furthermore this standard defines how an end user can effectively use spoken tutorials for self-learning by using the side by side method. This standard sets the platform for effective methods for creating audio-video tutorials for self-learning.

    • 1484.12.1 Revision
      C/LT/SCORMRENEW Standard for Learning Object Metadata

      • This Standard is a multi-part standard that specifies Learning Object Metadata. This Part specifies a conceptual data schema that defines the structure of a metadata instance for a learning object. For this Standard, a learning object is defined as any entity–digital or non-digital– that may be used for learning, education or training. For this Standard, a metadata instance for a learning object describes relevant characteristics of the learning object to which it applies. Such characteristics may be grouped in general, life cycle, meta-metadata, educational, technical, educational, rights, relation, annotation, and classification categories. The conceptual data schema specified in this part permits linguistic diversity of both learning objects and the metadata instances that describe them. This conceptual data schema specifies the data elements which compose a metadata instance for a learning object. This Part is intended to be referenced by other standards that define the implementation descriptions of the data schema so that a metadata instance for a learning object can be used by a learning technology system to manage, locate, evaluate or exchange learning objects. This Part of this Standard does not define how a learning technology system represents or uses a metadata instance for a learning object.
