A definition of e-learning
• “Any learning, training or education that is facilitated by the use of well-know and proven computer technologies, specifically networks based on Internet technology.”– the learning content is stored on a web server– accessed via a browser and the TCP-IP
network protocol
![Page 6: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Types of e-Learning
• ‘Blended’ learning is a combination of:– Face to Face - Classroom or sales calls– Materials - Books / videos / CDs / brochures– E-learning – On-line via Internet or Intranet
• Synchronous (Using collaboration tools)– Interactive on-line chat– Electronic whiteboards– Presentation delivery– Virtual Symposiums
• Asynchronous (Web-based version of CBT (CD-ROM)– E-learning, e-detailing– Most of the work done on e-learning standards is concerned
with asynchronous e-learning
![Page 7: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
The Sector Split
• Corporate market– LMS – Learning Management Systems– Just in time learning
• Academic market– VLE – Virtual Learning Environment– Tutor contact time is important – collaboration tools– Qualifications are important– Links to funding councils
• LSC – Learning and Skills council
![Page 8: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Physical E-Learning Components
• Courseware / Content– Sequential Lessons– Assessments (pre, post, embedded)
• LMS / ‘wrapper’– a suite of functionalities designed to deliver, track, report on and manage
learning content, student progress and student interactions.
• LCMS– Content creation, storage and organisation
• Collaboration Tools– Contact between learners and tutors
• Development/Authoring Tools– Specialised tools for producing e-learning content

• LMS focused
• HR Focused
![Page 14: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Conceptual E-learning Components
• The Learning Object (LO)– Smallest chunk of content to
stand alone as a meaningful unit– Size is determined by the
authors• E.g. differences between Netg
and Knowledgepool
– In standards terms –smallest trackable unit
• E.g. one ‘assessment’ per LO– Re-useable is key
• smaller and focused• 20 minute maximum
![Page 15: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

E-Learning Standards
HistoryWhy the standards are necessary
![Page 18: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Where when and who?
• Early 1980’s Aviation industry was the first to adopt CBT on a large scale – Sophisticated aircraft– Keeping personnel up-to-date– Safety– Records
• Why CBT?– Media –rich, interactive v printed manual– Additional assessment and data tracking– 24/7 availability– Just in time access to most up to date info
• Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell-Douglas ….– Proprietary hardware and software– High cost, records on multiple computers
![Page 19: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
History continued
• 1988 Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC) was formed– International group – manufacturers, trainers (military, commercial and civilian)
government and regulatory, e-learning vendors and courseware developers– Hardware was ‘sorted’ first– 1993 – guideline for computer managed instruction interoperability– 1998 – web-based version
• 1991 – Gulf War– After war – US congress studies concluded that reserve forces needed improved
access to education and training– Funds went to National Guard for prototype e-learning classrooms and networks
• 1997 – Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL)– US Department of Defence Expanded this work and founded ADL– Publishing first specification of SCORM in 1999
• Other standards bodies were IMS and IEEE
![Page 20: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Why Do We Need Standards?
• “..must be a common way – to start content, – for content to communicate with an LMS and – predefined data elements that are exchanged between an LMS
and content during its execution.” SCORM overview
• So that:– Mix and match content from multiple sources
• in-house• off-the-shelf
– Re-use content– Avoid proprietary systems– Future-proof e-learning investment

![Page 22: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Which Standards?
• AICC CMI Specification (AGR 010)– www.aicc.org– The Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC) has
developed a specification that allows courseware from multiple vendors to communicate with a single LMS. The AICC specification has been widely adopted outside the airline industry.
• ADL SCORM– www.adlnet.org– More recently the Advanced Distributed Learning
initiative (ADL) has developed the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) specification to open e-learning standards to a wider audience. Much of SCORM is based on AICC but some components have been implemented differently.

AICC/SCORM in ShortWhat’s the difference?
•AICC – CMI Specification •Two communication methods
•HACP (HTTP-based AICC CMI Protocol)•JavaScript API (application programming interface)
•Has had certification testing for LMS/content/tools since 1999•Doesn’t specify meta-data to describe LOs or course structures
•SCORM 1.2•JavaScript API only•Certification has only been available since 2003•Meta-data specification for LOs (optional)•Meta-data specification for content packaging

www.feenix.co.uk
Firewall and security problems
• A significant number of LMS vendors implement the API as a Java applet that runs on the student browser. Java applets tend to be seen as a security risk and many firewalls block them entirely, some IT departments configure the browsers to disable support for Java.
• HACP does not have this problem.
![Page 41: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Works with any content server?
• The “gotcha” for the API is the result of a built in security feature with Internet Explorer (IE). If:– your learning content is not in the same domain as your LMS
• some content providers suggest that the content stay on their own severs and your organisation’s LMS is just pointed to it
– the content uses API – the student is using an IE browser
• then no communication will take place.• Options:
– use HACP instead of API– Use Netscape – SCORM development committees have published a document
detailing some technical ‘work-arounds’ in Oct 2003
![Page 42: Http:// E-Learning Fundamentals Prepared for January 2004.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649da85503460f94a95770/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
www.feenix.co.uk
Fully compatible with HTML plus JavaScript content?
• The HACP “gotcha” is that two way communication is not possible with content created with HTML plus JavaScript because although JavaScript (the programming language built into most Web Browsers) can readily send data to the LMS in the required HACP format, it cannot receive the HACP messages that the LMS returns, so for example ‘booking marking’ it not possible.

Optional Data Model Elements - Grouped
• Core– Mandatory plus lesson mode (browsing .reviewing)
• Comments– Brief free-form test comments: LMS can send comments from admin + LO can send
comments from the learner• Evaluation
– Used for evaluation the effectiveness of the LO – not included in the SCORM data set
• Objectives– Records scores and status info for identified learning objectives
• Student data– E.g. mastery score, time limit, action if time limit exceeded.– AICC also tracks info about multiple attempts
• Student demographics– Background info about the learner– Not included in the SCORM data set
• Student preferences– For presentation of LO, appearance, sound, language etc.

Example 1: Attempt Number
• Definition: This AICC-only element indicates the number of times a student has previously entered the lesson. The LMS initializes this value to "0" the first time the student enters the lesson and increments it on each subsequent entry. The lesson determines how, if at all, this value is used.
• Direction of travel: Lesson to LMS; LMS to lesson– AICC HACP name: Attempt_Number– AICC API name: cmi.student_data.attempt_number– SCORM API name: not supported

Future - SCORM 1.3
• The introduction of simple sequencing. – LMSs will sequence learning activities at the time of delivery, based
upon • learner’s results • progress to date• behaviours specified externally to the learning content.
– Different sequencing behaviour can be applied to the same piece of content when it is used in different contexts.
• first step to truly individualized and adaptive learning delivery, • gives Instructional Designers the same level of sequencing control that was
typical in CBT (Computer Based Training).• All data elements will be mandatory for implementation by
LMSs. – This will simplify the selection of LMSs for purchasers and the
development of content that is intended to run in a variety of LMSs.

• What version of SCORM is the content compliant with?
• What data elements are being tracked currently• When is the data being sent?
– Exit– What if? Network connection is lost, computer crash, learner
forgets to exit and a time-out occurs.– How critical is the data e.g. score sent immediately, time not so
critical– Bookmarking? – How many database hits can you afford? – Server capacity
