[DG: Teaching & Learning] Interface Mock-Ups In Sakai

[Plourde, Mathieu]

Hi Charlie,

Your case seems to be a typical SCORM or IMS Common Cartridge compliance issue. As I understand it, you are building learning objects with a third-party tool, then want to track users and their score on embedded tests in Sakai.

We have the same issue here at UD. We will be deploying the CRIM SCORM player (based off the UC Davis engine) later this Summer to be able to track SCORM 2004 3rd edition objects. The CRIM player is not integrated with the Gradebook though, but it’s a start! Contact Robert Bolduc to know more (I have CCed him to this post).

I have seen a tweet from Mike Zackrison from rSmart a week ago about integrating the Icodeon engine in Sakai, but I don’t know if that’s really going to happen.

Anyway, I have started to track some bookmarks about SCORM, IMS CC, and potential vendors at the following URL: http://www.diigo.com/list/mathplourde/scorm

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Hi Sean, I noticed you had some insight into this sort of thing, so I thought it might be worth while asking.

Currently, or in the near future, do you know if it’s possible to train/test people on an working interface mock-up of a given piece of gear/software - say a medical pump, or even a software interface using Sakai?

I know when Sakai III hits, you should be able to pull something off using it’s AJAX structure, but for now ...

.. I know it’s quite possible to mock these things up in Flash, but integrating that Flash animation with Sakai - as far as I’ve found - is pretty much only superficial (yes, you can host the test/training interface in Flash, you can even put your Flash movie/mock-up into a Samigo window, but it does not connect its results in any way with Sakai’s reporting, Samigo/Sakai merely host the flash file - so you can’t get any site wide results/averages/etc).

I know HTML 5 is slowly making its way to fruition - which, I’m hoping - will negate the need for using Flash to mock up an interface (perhaps with some sort of basic way to animate vector graphics): regardless, I’m wondering if you know of any solutions that may have happened ( or will soon ) to allow for testing/training on interface mockups?

Thanks
Charlie
