Collaborative Courseware Authoring Based on SCORM Metadata

[[abstract]]Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) has become an important standard of courseware format and platform development in distance learning. We follow the metadata definition of SCORM 1.3 draft, and developed a system which supports collaborative courseware authoring. The system is able to sugge st an optimal sequence, with a set of automatically generated lecture components. A CSCW-like collaborative environment is also implemented under the Windowing environment. A demonstration of the system is available at: http://elresearch.mine.tku.edu.tw/
