If you’re using a learning platform, how do you create SCORM compliant content for it? Many have built in SCORM authoring features but what about those that don’t. Or perhaps you would like to author content offline. There are many commercial applications for authoring SCORM content, although many of these can be quite expensive.
 

I recently came across a great open source application for creating a range of SCORM content which could be used in all learning platforms that will accept SCORM. The application called ExeLearning allows teachers to author html documents for e-learning. Unlike many SCORM authoring packages, the software is very easy to use with a range of preconfigured e-learning templates including multiple choice quizzes and cloze activities.
 

The software will export content as a self contained web package which can be uploaded to learning management systems, as well as SCORM 1.2, IMS, and iPod notes.

I downloaded and installed the software, and within 5 minutes I had created my SCORM content, uploaded it to my learning platform and it worked!

I’ve subsequently tested the content I’ve created with several of the leading learning platforms, all of which it worked with.

ExeLearning can be downloaded for free from the following website:

And is available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
