Assessment Engine Add On
The SCORM Driver's Assessment Engine allows you to easily create tests, quizzes
and surveys for your online courseware. These assessments can be embedded in an
existing SCO, they can be a stand alone SCO within a larger course, or they can
be a course in and of themselves. Driven from a simple XML file, the Assessment
Engine handles all aspects of question delivery, from displaying the questions,
to accepting the answers, recording the results and calculating a grade. Packed
full of features, the Assessment Engine can be configured in any number of
ways. The Assessment Engines can:
-
Be skinned to provide complete control over the user interface's look and feel
-
Show Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer, True/False, and Fill In the Blank
question types
-
Deliver graded tests, ungraded tests or surveys
-
Provide time and attempt limits
-
Allow or prevent question review, change and retaking
-
Include images, videos or other media
-
Randomize question and/or answer order
-
Explain individual answers or the entire question
-
Display questions one at a time or on separate pages

SCORM development has
always been a bit challenging for Flash developers, the SCORM Driver's Flash
Extension makes it simple. Connecting Flash to the SCORM API through JavaScript
isn't an easy thing to do. Different versions of Flash and inconsistent behavior
across browsers complicate the already difficult task of managing the
asynchronous communication between ActionScript and JavaScript. Other toolkits
exist, but all of them require in-depth knowledge of SCORM to be used
effectively. Rustici Software offers a solution that simplifies both the Flash
and the SCORM development of online courseware. With just two lines of code, the
Flash Extension exposes the full intuitive SCORM Driver API to ActionScript.
Adding SCORM calls to Flash is now as simple as it is in JavaScript using the
SCORM Driver.[More]
