Transform Whole S1000D DM into an SCO 1 Add LOM to DM Transform DM into SCO with XSLT 2 Retain S1000D metadata in SCO Generate S1000D SCORM Content Package 3 Potential issues: Complex learning interactions are not easily captured Granularity Language style Adherence to good instructional design

Add LOM to DM

Transform DM into SCO with XSLT

Retain S1000D metadata in SCO

Generate S1000D SCORM Content Package

Potential issues:

Complex learning interactions are not easily captured

Granularity

Language style

Adherence to good instructional design

Include Pieces of S1000D DM in an SCO SCO Benefits Instructional Designer: Searches ( XQuery ) and displays DMs Uses XInclude to include reusable content from DM More freedom in applying instructional design principles SCO is automatically updated when DM is updated Data Module Use XSLT generate-id() or XProc to generate a unique ID for all reusable elements: Para Step Warning

Instructional Designer:

Searches ( XQuery ) and displays DMs

Uses XInclude to include reusable content from DM

More freedom in applying instructional design principles

SCO is automatically updated when DM is updated

Use XSLT generate-id() or XProc to generate a unique ID for all reusable elements:
