Adapting a Drill-and-practice-typed e-Learning System SANNO KNOWLEDGE FIELD to SCORM Standard and Developing Its Contents

Abstract

This paper describes how to redesign a drill-and-practice-typed e-learning system SANNO KNOWLEDGE FIELD (SKF) and its contents in order to bring them into compliance with SCORM1.2/2004 international standard. At first, SKF had been independently developed as ASP-typed WBT and its contents had been also implemented on it with the unique specification. Such specification allowed the system to be most suitable and gave an advantage in not causing any compatibility problem. However, there was difficulty in providing the contents for the other e-learning systems. Redesigning the contents in compliance with the SCORM standard enables them to run on various types of LMSs in worldwide. In this paper, we show the way to adapt the contents to the SCORM standard and challenges in implementing them when the redesigned contents complying with the SCORM standard realizing the same learning mechanism as the existing LMS had.
