[DG: Teaching & Learning] Experience Creating Web-Based Tutorials in Sakai

[Thomas Boudrot]

Hi All -

I'm in line 100% with Kate's reply.  We are looking at Softchalk as a replacement (or supplement) to Melete to allow more interactive and branched delivery of course material.  The SCORM connection seems to be the weak link regarding data sharing with Sakai tools such as the gradebook.  We're looking at UC Davis' SCORM player as well as other for-fee SCORM products that might help bridge that gap between Softchalk and Sakai.

As we learn more, I'll write back to this thread unless others have gone further and have a more conclusive direction.

Hi Hannah,

We have been piloting SoftChalk as an alternative to Melete / modules and are pleased with results, except that it is not truly integrated into Oncourse, our flavor of Sakai, as of this semester. Hopefully it will happen soon--although there is a major technical glitch-- but I've learned the hard way not to believe it till I see it. And, as far as I know, Softchalk activities cannot send data to the Sakai gradebook. But as far as easy, simple web page creation, it works great. You can download a free 30 day trial, and test it out Another possibility--have you tried Adobe Presenter?

Best,
Kate
