Can I create a quiz and insert it into another program?
 
Hi Willie
In that you could use another program to fire off the quiz yes. It would only open what you already see, the courselab module.
BUT .....
What I expect your thinking of is to make the quiz part then extract just that part and make it a part of something else. The problem is you would still need the SCORM API running for it to work... this really makes the answer no without a lot of work.

The 'a program' is a bit vague too...

IF you mean create a quiz section of a module and then import it into another module its a definite yes.
 
 
I understand. Well we have an Flash application that we wrote here, and was hoping that we could put the quiz from this program inbetween sections. We haven't tried it yet, and not even sure what to import into our program. But we will mess around with it. Thanks
 
 
 
Well let me be more specific: Can the quiz be placed in another flash project, in a movieHolder, which would launch the application/quiz from flash without the user knowing anything different has happened?
 
 
 
 
Hi Willie,
Take a look at Adobe.com or the Flash fora, there is a SCORM PI for flas which you could use, it might be easier to put something together in flash itself.
I'm not sure the movie holder would work, something more akin to an iframe would be what you need.
One thought is that if you have the flash asset why not use AIR?? You could make a desktop and server delivered varient, the flash API would just be another asset and called by the flash componet so should still run OK
 
 
 
 
 
Hi I never thought of that. The reason for the applications was for our instructional designers would be able to write the questions and answers and comments in the GUI without any programming knowledge. Also will Air run on a CBT, and WBT? I have to do some more reading about that. But thanks for the info.
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you build it as a web app it should, it's quite flexible. I think you'll find it's maybe not as easy as you'd like it to be otherwise there would be more RADs for e-learning, or as you probably want a more template driven system.
Silerlight might work too I've not looked at it as I don't tend to use M$ stuff too much other than for the OS.
You could always still use Courselab just do some collaborative work with the designers to build some generic pages, they just fill in the details.
Another thought might be the old Dreamweaver e-learning extensions, you might find it easier to work templates into this, depends hoe your html, javascript and xml coding is.
