Hi, All,

Does anyone has the experience on SCORM(Sharable Content Object
Reference Model) support with Django? I want to let my django
application having SCORM support for learning management app.
However, after researching on internet, there is no any post for such
topic. I know that 'moodle' is a greate LMS project with SCORM
support, however it is developed by PHP, not python. Your professional
advice would be highly appreciated!

I was about to need to do something along these lines, so I used
inspectdb to look at Moodle. I was going to connect django and moodle
to the same DB since moodle was going to be a certainty in the
position that I didn't end up taking:

This is a really basic, early, no momentum, old project.

http://bitbucket.org/nautilebleu/django-scorm-rest-rte/src might be
more interesting.

Thanks Skylar. django-scorm-rest-rte has really less documentation for
studying. Maybe, SCORM is not the hot technology for LMS. Does anyone
use any else LMS technology with Django in the world? I think LMS is
really a hot topic in the future, and even now. If there is any
possibility to ship LMS function in django, Django could be very
strong and resplendence in the future.

BTW, I've successfully deployed PyAmf modules in my Django's project,
this allows me to deploy some Flex(adobe) project which will catch
the data from Django and return more user-friendly interface to the
end-user. (Django is really an amazing framework)

My company has built PowerU, an LCMS with SCORM player, video on
demand, automatic notifications, a deep authorization system,
classroom management, instructor management, and many more features.
We use Adobe Flex with PyAMF and Django with a PostgreSQL back end.
It is essentially a giant django app but it replaces much of what
django includes. For example, we have our own user model.

I'm not at liberty to give away what we have built. It is our hope to
someday share a community version of our product and invite
independent developers to participate in the evolution of PowerU. For
now, we sell content development services and hosting services. PowerU
is something we offer to customers who are looking for a customizable
LMS experience superior to Moodle, but without the cost of typical
commercial LMS solutions.

Best,

Hi, Ryan,

You mentioned that SCORM is supported in your system, could you tell
me more about how do you integrate SCORM compliant with your Django
Application? Do you just use PyAmf and Flex to handle that? Thanks a
lot!

Regards,

Zeal Hua
