A SCORM-compliant Learning Management System that Enhances Learning By Managing the Learning Itself

A SCORM-compliant learning management system (LMS) has been developed that enhances learning by effectively and efficiently managing the learning itself. First, a SCORM-LST was developed by adding to SCORM (sharable content object reference model) a framework that describes facilitation corresponding to the learner´s state of learning and describes the learning state transitions. This makes it possible to describe collaborative learning, assessment, and facilitation for multiple users. Next, a SCORM-compliant LMS (SALMS: SCORM-compliant adaptive LMS) based on the SCORM-LST was developed. SALMS interprets SCORM-LST code and changes the user interface to match the learner´s state of learning. It also manages the learning so that it matches the designer´s intentions.
