Drupal + SCORM = outstanding 'learning' package

Hi all,

It is fantastic to see some others interested in work on a Drupal SCORM module.

At Nine Lanterns we have built an E-Learning Content Authoring System that generates SCORM packages (and other outputs like PDFs etc). The first few versions went through .ASP then .NET, and we are currently porting parts of it to Drupal.

We are also using Moodle as an LMS, but a lot of our customers are looking for more than just content in a window and want collaboration and professional social networking and knowledge exchange etc etc, which Moodle does okay but not as flexibly and powerfully as a tuned Drupal installation.

We would be super keen to contribute to a SCORM implementation - I've used heaps of LMS and debugged the SCORM implementations of lots of them from both the server and content side, and getting SCORM into Drupal would be fantastic step towards getting Drupal further into education and corporates as a learning system.

IMHO we should try to tackle the SCORM RTE first so we can demonstrate content working inside Drupal first before we try and import packages and deal with parsing and exploding them into the correct spots. Even if we have to manually extract .zip files and recreate content organisations by hand initially this would be a huge step. From what we have seen few organisations are really importing SCORM or IMS packages without hand editing anyway.

I've cross posted this to the DrupalED group as well as there are probably lots of interested parties in there and I've been meaning to introduce myself.

Cheers

Mike
