In the paper we present the methodology used in order to produce accessible and SCORM-compliant courses starting with conceptual design and to deliver them as instructional package in dotLRN accessible platform. This is part of the ALPE project, Accessible Learning Platform for Europe (EC-

— The following research proposal seeks to bring a model of security software on virtual learning platforms LCMS under all SCORM specifications to ensure the authenticity of content created under concepts of digital signature and identification of protocols and mechanisms to ensure such activities.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applications of the Experience API (or xAPI – Experience Application Programming Interface, and also known as Tin Can API) in a few e-learning examples. The xAPI is a new specification for learning technology. It allows one to capture data in a consistent format about a person or group’s activities from many technologies. Different systems can com...
