[Using Sakai] SCORM in Sakai

[James Renfro]

There are at least three different groups working on SCORM players: UC 
Davis, CRIM (Sacha Lepretre), and HKUST (William Wan). I think each 
group has a slightly different focus. For example, I believe that HKUST 
was developing a 1.2 compatible player, but I'm not sure what the status 
of the other two players is.

The player that Anthony has pointed you to is the UC Davis one, which 
has been in a bit of a holding pattern pending our completion of the new 
Gradebook2, which has trumped SCORM in terms of its priority on our 
resources. This player is based on the ADL 2004 3rd Edition 1.0 runtime. 
It is in a somewhat stable state getting toward the end of its basic 
functionality development and runs happily in 2.5, but has yet to go 
through QA and still needs various pieces of integration to be completed 
(for example, Gradebook integration). It also has some specific bugs 
that prevent it from running a certain subset of SCORM content packages.

Recently Maarten van Hoof and Roland Groen (at EDIA), and Nuno Fernandes 
(at UFP) have been added to the list of committers for this project, and 
are actively pushing it forward in the meantime. They've already 
contributed a significant number of useful fixes and improvements, and 
have put up a running version of it at:

Best,
James.

I guess you could contact Kirk Alexander if there is no info forthcoming on this list.  SCORM compliance is becoming a priority as we begin to look at tools for creating RLOs and whatnot at IU, so I always prick up my ears when someone shows an interest.
