Abstract

Demand for civil engineering talents continues to grow with the popularity of network and the constant development of the Chinese economy. However, current demands cannot be met because of shortage in relevant teaching resources in universities and colleges. In this situation, distance network education becomes a popular approach for off-campus personnel to further their studies. Shareable content object reference model (SCORM) standards are widely used in the distance education system in the international arena. The model has become a wind indicator within the industry because of its efficient handling of problems related to cross-platform resource transfer. This research succeeds in developing a SCORM-based education management system targeted toward all civil engineering learners and features independent learning, track record, and information feedback.

Highlights

Shareable content object reference model (SCORM)based distance education management system is a distance teaching model system
SCORM-based distance education management system is established based on SCORM standards
SCORM standards were developed by the American institution Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Shareable content object reference model (SCORM)based distance education management system is a distance teaching model system. Cao Wei [7] applied SCORM standards to the research and design of web-based learning resource management system. Such an application is confined to creating courseware, and SCORM standards are not completely expanded to the construction of web-based courses. SCORM is used to solve problems in distance education management system for civil engineering education, such as poor reusability and sharing of web-based teaching materials, learning loss, and retention of learning traces. In terms of techniques, SCORM supports sharing of learning content It can formulate learning plans in line with learners’ personal abilities, and it can track, record, and test learners’ performance.
