I’m at the SCORM Technical Working Group meeting and the first exciting thing I’ve heard so far has come from Valerie Smothers with MedBiquitous, talking about Virtual Patients — a model for reusable case studies to be exchanged for medical simulations around the world. Each Virtual Patient has metadata describing their patient data, media resoures, model for data availability, activities and the player that’s needed to play the simulation — that connects to the user interface, the learner profile and tracking.
And they are working with universities in Sweden (I think — maybe Finland) and the US on having working prototypes — and they work in SCORM-based Learning Management Systems.
After about a full day’s worth of talking about cleaning SCORM’s past, we finally get a taste for the future.
