Forum .LRN Q&A: Response to Anyone working on Scorm ?

I don't have any opinion about where the grading functionality should lie; in survey or in another package (but I suspect Dave has). As far as Curriculum is concerned, it doesn't matter which service provides the grading answers.

Isn't there a difference between grading and rating? Grading would be when an educational designer sets up criterias for evaluating survey results. Rating, OTOH, would be when any user gets to pass judgement on various types of objects. If this is so, maybe a separate rating package would make sense (Lars has one, I know - ready or not, I don't know), while the ongoing development of "graded surveys" would still be motivated. Just my thoughts...

The way I understand SCORM it's about being able to export sequences (courses or curriculums), and not student data. Each system that imports the sequence via the exported (SCORM) XML manifest, e.g. a dotLRN website, must have its own LMS including grading system.
