[Using Sakai] Tool for Creating Web-based Tutorials for Instruction

[Ricci, Margaret P]

Hi Hannah,
Where do I start?

As far as authoring environments, I have used SoftChalk and Raptivity. Raptivity is not all that appropriate for tutorials in my experience, and not everything will give you really useful SCORM output. I had trouble with Raptivity's SCORM output on the UCDavis player, but I never tried it on Icodeon.

As for SCORM players, you might want to check back with John Bush. After some meetings and demos at Sakai in Denver, we are thinking Rustici Software's SCORM Cloud player is going to work better for SCORM content in Sakai. You can go to www.scorm.com to see how it works, and there are some videos of the integration with the Gradebook and Assignments tools on the SCORM page in confluence. After John Bush talked to Tim Martin from Rustici, he seemed ready to abandon Icodeon because the data integration is so much farther along in SCORM Cloud.

That's what's going on in SCORM land - latest update! Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Maggie

Dear Sakai User Community,

Tufts has recently decided to move to Sakai and needs to build a 
web-based tutorial for helping students understand Academic Integrity.

We've looked at several commercial applications such as Softchalk, 
Articulate and more recently Adobe presenter but there seem to be
issues with each in terms of supporting functionality like selection 
level feedback and creating accessible content.

I'm wondering if anyone on the list is using a 3rd party or open source 
tool for authoring SCORM compliant content packages that could be 
ingested into Sakai and read via the Icodeon SCORM player integrated by 
rSmart?

Has anyone found a content authoring environment that is feature rich, 
produces accessible content and can be imported into Sakai? Is anyone 
using the JISC RELOAD editor or Raptivity?

Thanks for any ideas you can share.


Hannah
