Integrating Authorware with Learning Management Systems


This session will discuss building Authorware-based content for integration with a Learning Management System (LMS).  We will:

* Introduce the LMS standards (AICC and SCORM)
* Briefly discuss the different components that may be used for importing and tracking Authorware-based compliant content (content communication, learning object metadata and manifest files)
* Build a file using the Authorware Knowledge Objects (in conjunction with the LMS Emulator) and publish for the LMS Standards
* Discuss the advantage of using the LMS KOs (while looking at how you can develop your own communication mechanism)
* Review issues associated with integrating with LMSs and look at best-practices
