The SCORM package Sample Clauses

The SCORM package. ‌ The MedBiquitous Virtual Patient specification leverages SCORM 2004 3rd edition for content packaging and exchange of files related to a single virtual patient activity. SCORM 2004 is a suite of specifications and standards, including the IMS Content packaging specification, that enables learning management systems (LMS) to import and deliver conformant web-based, self-directed learning. Each SCORM package is a zip file containing an XML manifest file and one or more files, each of which are referenced in the manifest. The virtual patient activity is packaged as a single Shareable Content Object (SCO) within the package, allowing the activity to be launched from conformant LMS. Each package contains: • Virtual patient data files • Media files • Virtual patient XML schemas • Manifest document that details the files contained in the package and how the activity can be launched within a learning management system. • Manifest XML schemas • Metadata files • Metadata XML schemas • Index.html file to launch the activity from an LMS • Javascript files to enable communications with the LMS (usually separate files) • Virtual patient player • XML schema and DTD documents • XHTML schemas customised for virtual patients eViP systems importing the virtual patient activity for delivery within their own virtual patient system may choose to ignore the following components of the SCORM package: • Index.html file to launch the activity from an LMS • Javascript files to enable communications with the LMS (usually separate files) • Virtual patient player • XML schema and DTD documents Ultimately these components of the virtual patient package may be useful for sharing content with the broader European community, including those institutions that do not have a virtual patient specific system but do have a SCORM-conformant LMS.
