I'm reviving MySCORM

With my sudden burst of motivation lately I decided I should try to revive my little pet project i've dubbed MySCORM.  Here is a bit of info about it.

What is SCORM?
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model defines a specific way of constructing Learning Management Systems and training content so that they work well with other SCORM conformant systems

Now that description is great and all, but it really doesn't explain what SCORM is to people who don't know about it.  SCORM is a standard for eLearning content that was developed to help aid in consistency across Learning Management Systems.  An example of this eLearning content would be Microsoft eLearning courses.  A user signs up to take the course.  The user then takes the course at their own pace.  During the course, data is collected about the users experience while taking the course, such as where they left off, answers to questions, etc.  The SCORM standard is used so that developers can create systems to play/record this content in their custom learning management systems.  Essentially an eLearning content creator can create their learning module and adhere to the SCORM standard and feel confident that their eLearning will work in any Learning Management System that is SCORM compliant.

Why would I pick this to work on?  At a previous employeer I was tasked with making our custom learning management system SCORM compliant.  To this day i'm not 100% happy with my implementation of it, so since then I've been wanting to prove to myself that I can make a quality SCORM compliant system.  I originally coded it in ASP/VBScript (I had no say in that matter) but wanted to code it in .NET because it offers a MUCH better platform for creating a SCORM compliant module, plus I use .NET everyday.  Another big reason for this project is because there really isn't a decent open-source SCORM compliant system made in .NET out there today, most are Java or PHP.

My ultimate goal for this project is to create a SCORM 1.2/2004 compliant module that can be easily added into existing systems with little to no modifications needed.  This is a lofty goal but I think that its not completely out of reach.  I'll try to update this post later when I organize my thoughts/goals for the project.

Also, I created a project for it up on codeplex that i'll be updating, check it out here
