Abstract

Instructional designers and developers summarize the process they used to build a Web-based course by creating sharable content objects that follow specifications of the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). Many examples of SCOs are provided, including detailed descriptions of course content, screen shots from the course, and actual metadata. The course is a sequence of SCOs containing generic content for training supervisors of civilian personnel and most of the SCOs are stand-alone and reusable. The difference between reusable SCOs and SCOs developed as transition pages are discussed. The rewards and pitfalls experienced during design and development of the course are presented, and the need for development tools is emphasized.
