Hi James,
Excuse my ignorance, but could you expand on what you mean by an 'interactive word and excel file'.
Thanks,
Mandy.

Nigel's links are useful
It can be useful to to put it in simple terms, an IMS compliant learning
object should "sit" within any IMS compliant Learning Management System
(ie VLE); so that using a TekniCAL tool I can create a learning object
which will sit on Blackboard, or using Microsoft LRN I can convert a
PowerPoint presentation into an IMS compliant learning object and sit it
on TekniCAL's Virtual Campus.
All the NLN materials are IMS compliant.
Why should you do all this, well if you want your learning object to be
tracked, or to record assessment, then you want it to be IMS compliant.
Also it helps to future-proof any learning objects you (and your staff
create)
Contentious Point (look away now)
This is also why I personally believe that interactive Word and Excel
files are a huge mistake and no institution should be encouraging staff
to create or use them... as they are not IMS compliant.

If you go to http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/
Install the Extensions Manager for Dreamweaver and the following
extensions (under Learning) will prove useful
Manifest Maker for ADL SCORM
SCORM Runtime Wrapper
The Manifest Maker will create a correct IMS Manifest file.
The Wrapper will wrap
These instructions are useful (and I have created an object using these
tools)
http://www.eduworks.com/LOTT/macromedia.htm
I would also suggest installing the coursebuilder extension
We are currently using e-Learning Objects, from TekniCAL, which allows
you to use Word to create IMS learning objects.
http://www.teknical.com/Products/elearning_objects.htm
These objects can be viewed in any IMS compliant system, such as
Microsoft LRN.

Hello All
has anyone created their own course in html for a VLE and then either
included / added / converted to include IMS compliance. If yes can you
recommend a book or something. I'm currently using Dreamweaver for the
HTML but am struggling with the way forward for IMS and SCORM.
Many thanks
Heather
