Greetings
Below is an abstract to a white paper posted in Directory/SCORM Resources/SCORM Whitepaper portion of this site. It discusses integrating tech and training content.
****************************************************************************************************
ABSTRACT: The acquisition and management of DoD technical data and its related technical training content are not synchronized. Despite the potential for a significant amount of data reuse between technical data and technical training data, the purchase and development of this related content is not managed by a common standard. The S1000D technical data standard can impose a highly organized acquisition and management process to technical training content, an area normally associated with SCORM. However, SCORM as a reference model does not impose name, identification, and structure standards on training data source files. SCORM does not guide a developer’s choice of content and format. S1000D is a markup specification that brings naming, identification, and structure to content. The standard deliberately guides the user to name, identify, and structure content. Leaving technical data and training data acquisition and management in separate environments will not reveal potential life cycle cost savings and production efficiencies. The DoD technical training community can benefit from the use of S1000D on its source data with improved configuration, greater reuse, and less integration. This paper will discuss the logic for using S1000D to name, identify, and structure DoD technical training content.
*****************************************************************************************************
This paper is the basis of three prototypes that look to create S1000D-based conversion guidelines, look to process S1000D data modules into SCOs, and look to develop a dual-purpose content management system that processes tech and training data into IETMs and SCORM-compliant files.
