Notes

cmi5 spec clarification discussion

The group discussed the following spec clarifications, pull requests are pending next meeting:

  • change agent definition to the following: "agent: Agent representing the enrolled LMS learner"
  • A course MUST be packaged with course structure data that conform to all requirements listed in Section 13 and Section 14.
  • Drop/modify existing Pull Request -
  • Remove 13.2 (change all 13.2 references to 14.0
  • Replace text in 14.0 with the text proposed by Andy Johnson

Conceptually, a course package is a collection of all of the components (AUs) of the course. While previous standards often equated this with the gathering of all resources into a single archive (often a .ZIP file), cmi5 does not have this restriction; all files can be “packaged”, even by reference.

Technically, a course package is an XML file format with a course structure. It can be standalone or contained in a ZIP file. A course package, when located in a ZIP file, MUST be named “cmi5.xml”. The course package MUST conform to the following XSD:

An LMS MUST provide functionality such that a targeted course package is processed, resulting in a Course Structure import (See Section 13). An LMS MUST support Course Packages in at least these three file formats:

  • Standalone XML file
  • 32-bit Zip Format
  • 64-bit Zip Format An LMS MAY support alternate forms of course packages.
