ADAPTING SCORM TO M-LEARNING CONTEXT

M-learning can be considered as an evolution of e-learning that allows users to advantage of the benefits of mobile technologies to support the learning process. SCORM model is a set of standards and specifications. Its main objective is to enable educational contents to be shared and reused among different systems. In this work we combine both SCORM and m-learning topics. The idea is to allow accessing and visualizing learning contents packaged in SCORM within mobile devices. Nowadays most of the contents in m-learning are specifically created for mobile devices only. This fact prevents the reutilization of learning resources that already exist in different repositories and LMS. We have designed an application to solve this problem. Our application for mobile devices can manage a learning content packaged in SCORM in a similar way to how any LMS handles a SCORM object. Besides, the application is being tested in a real environment for several e-learning companies.
