Reading SCORM compliant multimedia courses using heterogeneous pervasive devices

The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) provides some important representation for distance learning content and the learning behavior. In general, SCORM-Compliant learning content can be viewed via the Web browsers. In this paper, we built an environment which allows people to read SCORM-Compliant course materials on hardcopy papers with a pen-like OCR device. A computer, a PDA, or a cellular phone can be used in conjunction with the pen device for multimedia presentations. Our project is called the Hard SCORM. Consequently, users can read textbooks in a traditional manner while behavior of reading is incorporated with the SCORM specification.
