Architecture for Integration of Simulations with SCORM in E-Learning Environments
Angélica de Antonio, Jaime Ramírez Rodríguez, Zayra Madrigal Alfaro · 2008
The integration of interaction and simulation in e-learning systems represents a milestone in educational research and supports the student’s learning process in innumerable ways. Nevertheless, current standards do not provide appropriate mechanisms to obtain a significant assessment about the student’s performance while interacting with a simulation neither to influence on the teaching-learning process. This work proposes a SCORM-compliant architecture which includes a Tutoring Module for Simulations (TMS). The main objective consists in providing mechanisms to track and “observe” the student’s performance (while interacting with a simulation), thus enabling the TMS to take decisions or intervene when necessary, and/or to modify the course of the simulation.
