    Can anyone make a recommendation for getting started with SCORM? I plan on installing Moodle on my local webserver and then creating some quick dummy quizzes in flash just to play with the SCORM calls and tracking users. I'm pretty good at teaching myself these things if I have a good resource just to get me going.

    Thanks in advance. -Sarah

    Hi Sarah :smile:

    I've posted some tutorials on how to use SCORM in Flash projects utilizing my pipwerks ActionScript class. The SCORM ActionScript class makes working with SCORM much simpler because it handles ActionScript-to-JavaScript communication, general error-checking, and a few other odds and ends for you automatically. The most recent tutorial is here. The SCORM section of my site has more info. The pipwerks SCORM wrapper and ActionScript classes have all been successfully tested on Moodle (and assorted other LMSs).

    As far as which SCORM calls you need to make when creating a course and/or quiz (such as "cmi.score.raw"), I always refer to the official ADL documentation (the file "SCORM_RunTimeEnv.pdf" in the SCORM 2004 documentation package, or the file "SCORM_1.2_RunTimeEnv.pdf" in the older SCORM 1.2 documentation).

    The ADL docs can be found at http://adlnet.gov/scorm/index.aspx (click the"previous versions" link for older SCORM 1.2 documentation).

    As far as other SCORM resources, Aaron Silvers has a site dedicated to Flash and elearning named Flash For Learning. He has a related Google Group as well.

    Most of the other Flash/SCORM resources out there are kind of outdated in my opinion, which means they use deprecated or clunky code. That's one of the reasons I created my JavaScript SCORM wrapper and ActionScript SCORM classes.

    Of course you could also use off-the-shelf products like Captivate and Articulate Presenter/Quizmaker, which can output to SCORM as well.

    Good luck!
