i would like to manually create a scorm package, to understand the mechanisms. I have read about content packaging and run time on the scorm website.
The content packaging is easy to understand but i have problems with the tasks of the run-time environment.
I understand that the scorm package display a html page with the desired content and communicate (initialize, commit, ...) with the LMS over the scorm API to persist data.
But how can i navigate to another lesson? Should my run-time environment navigate between lessons or is the LMS concerned to navigate between the lessons?
I have read that some scorm generators like iSpring includes a front end user interface with navigation. But it sounds like this is optional.
Also i don't understand the entire scorm terminology. In an LMS i have courses (scorm package), lessons and for example quizzes in the lessons. But what is a lesson in scorm? A SCO? And how can i implement quizzes or other things? Must i implement this myself in the user interface?
Navigation between lessons can either be handled by the LMS outside the SCORM package, or it's possible to have multi-SCO packages where navigation happens within the package using a feature called sequencing.
