This updated Content Player Blackboard Building Block™ provides improved support for SCORM 2004 v2 content including:
• Improved Content Player interactions with Gradebook
• Improved handling of Flow based packages
• Improved testing using packages provided by a number of content publishers and client partners
• Additional bug fixes
The Content Player Blackboard Building Block enables instructors to upload and play content that conforms to SCORM, IMS, or NLN standards to a course. This tool is available to instructors through the Control Panel.
From an Instructor perspective they can use this tool within the content areas as they add/modify content items within their course. Instructors and Students interact with IMS, SCORM, and NLN content just as they would with other types of Content Items.
Students accessing IMS, SCORM, or NLN Content Items simply select the Content Items from within the course. A new browser window opens and displays the content.
When Adding SCORM, IMS, or NLN data, the Instructor can enforce sequential navigation and add Content Items to the Gradebook. When a Student completes a package the results are automatically reported in the Gradebook.
