SCORM Compliant Interactive E - Learning Content for "Data Structures and Algorithms"

Abstract

SCORM Compliant Interactive E Learning Contents for “Data Structures and Algorithms -11”

Online e-learning applications have proven to increase both effectiveness and efficiency of training methodologies. Up-front investment is required to develop and convert training materials for technology-based online presentation. These investment costs may be reduced by an estimated 50-80 percent through use of e-learning module that are:

• Durable – do not require modification as versions of system software change. • Interoperable – operate across a wide variety of hardware, operating systems, and web browsers. • Accessible – can be indexed and found as needed. • Reusable – can be modified and used by many different development tools.

The project is to implement an SCORM (Shareable Courseware Object Reference Model) Compliant interactive E-learning module specially catering for “Algorithms Part of Data structures and Algorithms” course base on the BIT (Bachelor of Information Technology) module IT 2202. This dissertation covers only Algorithms part of the syllabus hence named Data structures and Algorithms part 11. An Open source learning Management System (LMS) Moodle is used to host the e- learning module. Each lesson is very user friendly and is consisted with sound and animations. Every lesson can be easily manageable, because they are created using the Instructional design methodology. End of the each lesson there is a quiz to evaluate the students.
