Re: SCORM and Perl

SCORM according to the Wikipedia is "Sharable Content Object Reference Model", and is a Department of Defense project relating to "web-based e-learning". The latest edition of the SCORM reference books was published in 2006.

According to the article: "The standard uses XML, and it is based on the results of work done by AICC (CBT), IMS Global Learning Consortium, IEEE, and Ariadne."

Based on that statement, I'd expect that any of the generally available XML modules would be a good starting point to develop your API.

You might look into the the 'External Links' at the end of the article. Under References I see links to SCORM Primer and "Concise articles like 'SCORM for Dummies' and 'SCORM For Developers', which should give you pointer to the kinds of objects your API will need to manipulate.

This sounds like you have the start of an interesting CPAN module here.

Thanks all for your help. MY problem lies in that SCORM is mostlyfocused with the devopment of the SCO Sharabel Content Object which is the aqctual course. The LMS Learning Management System has very little requirements so most sites dont spend much time on it. Unfortunately www.scorm.com is one of the companies that only helps to a certain point. But your help in making me understand the API concept was very helpful. SCORM uses XML so my next step is to start figuring out how to parce scorm.	[reply]
