Open edX Interoperability (LTI, SCORM and more)

9/25/2015

Open edX supports Interoperability with external course standards, with varying levels of configuration and customization needed.


xBlocks: xBlocks are specially built for Open edX, so these are fully supported and require no software customizations, however do require setup and configuration


LTI: LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is supported,and follows the IMS Global LTI 1.1.1 standards. This allows any LTI 1.1.1 compatible courseware to be supported 


OLI: OLI is supported by Open edX, via LTI. LTI allows instructors to create a link from their LMS course to their OLI course. When the link is clicked, the LMS encodes parameters about the user into the link and redirects the user to OLI. OLI verifies the parameters provided by the LMS and directs the user to the appropriate OLI course. The user will see an OLI launch page within the LMS window from which they can access the various features of their course.


SCORM: Scorm is not yet natively supported and requires some customizations. SCORM compatible content can be packaged as a standard embeddable component using a tool like Storm Cloud. This packages the Scorm content as an LTI 1.1.1. compatible module. The LTI 1.1.1. module can then be incorporated into an Open edX course

For anyone who stumbles across this blog post, I'd like to mention that Open edX can now handle SCORM content natively, with this SCORM XBlock that we've blogged about here: http://www.appsembler.com/blog/getting-scorm-content-into-open-edx-with-the-scorm-xblock/

Thanks Nate, and definitely a commendable community effort there,we'll be sure to take it for a spin. More recently than this dated blog post, we've also had some success with the tincan xblock https://github.com/ihowson/tincan-xblock. More to follow in an upcoming blog post.
