Notes

CMI-5 Course Packaging

The group continued its discussion of content packaging and clarified discussions from the last (Dec 19th) meeting with regard to URL references.

Scenario #1 – Course structure XML contained in a ZIP file package.

  • AU’s with media contained in the ZIP file must have “relative” URL references to AU’s in the Course Structure XML.
  • AU’s with media OUTSIDE of the ZIP file must have fully qualified URL references to AU’s in the Course Structure XML.
  • The Course structure XML may contain a mix of fully qualified and relative URL’s

Scenario #2 – Course structure XML without a ZIP file package

  • All AU’s URL references must be fully qualified
  • The LMS may have path editing post import.

Henry Ryng provided the following references to the PKZIP file format specifications as possible ZIP file format references for Course Packaging:

(this appears to be the best reference, but it is unclear if convers both ZIP32 and ZIP64

(this Wikipedia reference indicates that there may be an ISO specification reference. It is unclear if this can be used)

CMI-5 Conformance Testing Procedures

The group discussed the need to create separate document to define how CMI-5 conformance will be tested (i.e. conformance testing procedures). This document would be distinct from the CMI-5 specification(s). This effort will help to validate the existing CMI-5 draft specifications and will serve as the basis for the design of CMI-5 conformance testing tools.
