Hello Greig
I'm the new Online Learning Coordinator for South Cheshire College and
at the moment we're battling with SCORM. Learnwise is our VLE and we
have been trying to get our SCORM compliant Flash objects to talk to
Learnwise... but it's not working! After your email, I'm going to have a
look at what Dreamweaver extensions we can get our hands on but I was
also interested to know what VLE you were using.
Thanks
Liz Hall
Online Learning Coordinator

Hi Everyone,
For those of you who use Dreamweaver there are a couple of extensions
available that may help out with the creation and importing of content
as well. These are:
* L5 SCORM Producer ("... enables you to take raw e-learning content,
which you develop in Dreamweaver, and produce ready-to-deploy SCORM
packages that can be delivered over any SCORM-compliant LMS or learning
delivery system")
* Content Packager for IMS ("... enables you to take e-learning content,
which you develop in Dreamweaver, and produce ready-to-deploy course
packages that can be delivered over WebCT Campus Edition 4.0, WebCT
Vista 2.1 and other standards-compliant LMS or learning delivery system
products.")
* Manifest Maker for ADL SCORM 1.2
* Course Generator for WebCT
I have used the Course Generator for WebCT to create a manifest and
import HTML files to automatically create a Content Module in WebCT 4.1
and have done the same with Reload. I would be interested in hearing of
any experiences of using Reload or any of the Dreamweaver extensions
with WebCT Vista.
Michael - would it be possible to see your "import adapter"?
Thanks,
Greig

Hi
We've found using Respondus to create content packages offline and then
importing them into WebCT to be very efficient. It's also less error
prone than uploading the files and linking them into a content module
within WebCT.
To get round the problems with the WebCT import tool I wrote a Reload
"import adapter" for WebCT, which runs as part of the IMS import tool.
It turns nested organisations into nested items (which will import
properly) and fixes a couple of other things which can potentially cause
problems. It's a grey area, though, whether this counts as altering the
WebCT source code (possibly invalidating the license) so it might not be
a good idea to install it on a live server.

Hi
I'd be interested to hear how you got on when you imported the IMS
package into your VLE. In our own VLE we have discovered two issues:
1) If your package contains multiple organisations the VLE will not
represent this.
2) If your Package contains a link to an external website, directly
accessible from a link created by adding the url as a resource in Reload
it will work fine in the Reload viewer and also in the LRN toolkit but
will not work in the VLE. The oinly way around this is to add the url to
an html or Word document for example and then add this page as the
resource.
Wecuse WebCT by the way.
Pete

Dear All
I recently put together web pages which included several learning
resources with the purpose of providing students with the means to start
an outcome and complete it through summative assessment, all through
self study on-line.
The resultant folder containing pages, assets, etc, is huge, to large to
be posted to our VLE as HTML (to many files). To get around that
problem I imported the material in to Reload Editor and generated a
zipped IMS system.
I wondered whether anyone has created similar systems and/or whether you
feel a system like this has its place. If you have created similar
system, what software did you use to create the web pages?
