This section discussed Content Packaging
— the mechanisms provided by the SCORM to enable the exchange
and interoperability of content between diverse systems.
Some of the key points:
- A Content Package is a self-contained
unit of digital learning content. A package consists of a
Manifest file and the physical files referenced in the manifest.
- An IMS Manifest file is an
XML document that describes the package's content and organization
and enumerates the resources contained in the package.
- The Content Packaging Information
Model consists of the data elements necessary for
building SCORM conformant packages.
- The Content Packaging XML Binding
is a definition for representing the Content Packaging Information
Model in XML, a standard format for interchanging structured
information between systems.
