SIMPLE: Digital Content Distribution from Cloud (Proof of Concept)

This is one of my proof of concept application demo on how to prepare an eco-system for delivering protected digital content specially related to e-learning and m-learning context.

SIMPLE is an eco-system that allows tools such as

SimpleAuthor : That allows content authoring from common formats such as MS Office documents , PDFs and CBRs along with the options to author contents using cloud based WYSIWYG editor .

SimplePublisher: This allows you to import contents such as set of HTML files, ePubs, PDFs, text files, set of images, CBR files and the output from SimpleAuthor

SimplePlayer: This is a native course packaged with the required run-time that the end user will be using to view the content . This allows content activation and offline content tracking . In this current demo the Player is an EXE file that is being generated from the SimplePublisher. In the POC of the Publisher, each course is generated as an EXE file containing the content and the required runtime in it.

SimpleStore: In this POC you can see it as an online store that show cases different titles published using SimplePublisher. Basically it manages the catalog, and tracks activation of each offline course.

Note: the SIMPLE eco-system can be seen as an experiment based on the CUPID (Common Unified Programs for Instruction Delivery) guidelines. Check CUPID related info here:

SCORM 1.2 Tester Demo 

SCORM 1.2 Tester Demo

As SCORM SCO in Flash must be running in a network  mode in order to allow its external interface calls (Flash methods) to communicate with the wrapper java script, this tool has a mini server embedded in it that allows to browse the content over HTTP and thereby allows to test the SCORM Flash content. It helps the developer locally test the Flash based SCORM content that is not so easy with ADL 1.2 test suit.

This tool was developed in 2008 to perform quick tests in a flash based elearning project so as to quicken the elearning development process, where quick debugging is needed. The tool it self was developed using Flash 8 , Action Script 2 and thirdparty projector to embed the browser component. In addition it contains a mini server and scorm test wrapper.

The current demo shows a testing of a sample SCORM package from docebo.com. In the demo the navigation is forced after LMSFinish is called, to generate some errors so that it can be seen in the error window.
