Development, Distance Education Platform Based On The Scorm Standard

Finance and accounting policies are increasingly improved with the development of economic. That brings the gap between old knowledge structures of accounting practitioners and social requirements. Thus it is necessary for accounting practitioners to reeducate themselves. There are two major forms of learning at present: face-to-face leaning and distance learning. Compared with those who learn by face-to-face, those who learn on the distance learning platforms with network technologies can update their knowledge without the limits of time and place. And therefore, distance learning will be the popular learning form in the future.Firstly, the state-of-the-art of distance learning platforms is discussed, three possible solutions are compared, and the necessity of standardization on distance learning platforms is proposed definitely. Based on the study above, the overall requirements of both text and video courseware design within the distance learning platform are analyzed and then the system architecture of the learning platform is designed. Main subsystems such as text courseware studying system, video courseware studying system and QA center are designed in detail. Among the subsystems, modules of SCORM-based API adapter, sequencing control and learning tracking applied on the courseware learning subsystem are primarily described. Compared with the similar platforms, pros and cons of the standardized distance learning platform are concluded. Finally, standardizations of distance learning in future are looked forward.
