To Develop LMS and Scorm Sequesncing Engine

Question

Hi,

Hope you are doing fine.

We want a LMS(coded in ASP.NET/vb.net) which is able to import SCORM packages & display it to learner for viewing content. I am totally new to SCORM and have been shifted to this project. I want to know how can I access SCORM Assessment object's (Test) result, like Learner ID, passed/fail, time.

Can you please guide me what will I need to implement in ASP.NET code to accomplish my goal ?

task that I have done so far is,

1. Reading a manifest zip file, unzipping the file and get all information from the file(content name,description,items and launching page) and when user clicks on a particular course a pop up window is launching the page.

I eagerly want to know what I can do next to communicate with the LMS with the APIs. Shall I need to develop my own LMS to get the result,If there is a quiz which is running, all I need to know is the no of questions attempted by the user, whether the user is pass or fail and I need to store all information in the database for individual user so that I can review the result afterwards.

So the task remaining.

1. Tracking mechanism to deliver the content.
2. SCORM/LMS sequencing engine that controls the navigation between parts of SCORM conformant course.

I am the only person who is responsible for the entire project.

Please help. With hope of co-operation. Thanks in advance.. Regards,

Sushmita,

That is true. SCORM is one of these stadarts where you can implement as little as possible. But you will need some of Javascript with a Backend-Script (JSON to the rescue) so you can track the scorm data, and save it your database.

But let me tell you this: This is the easiest task! Making your own course-creator is a whole other beast.
