Transform a DM into a SCO

1

!Dual purpose DM

!Granularity

!Language style

!Add LOM to DM

!Generate S1000D training PM

2

!Transform with XSLT

!Retain S1000D metadata in SCO

!Generate SCORM manifest from S1000D training PM

3

Potential issues:

!Complex learning interactions are not easily captured with S1000D DM structure

!Adherence to good instructional design

efasoft.com

Include S1000D Content into a SCO

SCO

Benefits

Data Module

Use XSLT generate-id()function to generate a unique ID for all reusable elements:

!Para!Step!Warning

Instructional Designer:

!Searches and displays relevant data modules

!Use XInclude to include reusable content from DM

!More freedom in applying instructional design principles

!SCO is automatically updated when DM is updated
