SCORM Cross-Module Database

1 Initial Problem

By now, SCORM Learning Modules cannot exchange information.
E.g., a nickname a user chose in one module cannot be used in another module, neither can any kind of achieved objective.

2 Conceptual Summary

A new object type "SCORM Hub" is introduced which is able to store data from SCORM Learning Modules as well as to hand them over to other modules.
Users have to state the involved modules as well as the title of involved data variables.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

3.2 User Interface Details

(none of the existing ones involved)

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

When creating an object of that type, you may select from a "Type" list the SCORM RTE version of modules from which data can be retrieved.

Adding an object of that type takes you to the "Content" tab.

The object to be introduced is featuring the following tabs:

• Content:
  This tab allows to select SCORM Learning Modules supposed to deliver data to / receive data from the SCORM Hub.
  After doing so, SCORM variables from those modules can be selected which are supposed to be retrieved by the SCORM Hub (or to be delivered from it).
