About Conference
Introduction
Asian countries are witnessing a dramatic change in their economy. So is the scene of e-Governance! Some countries are already topping the international charts of e-Governance, some have just begun their journey, while there are a few others who are yet to step into the e-Governance arena. The scope for these countries to learn from their advanced Asian neighbours is immense and opportunities are unbound. The present need is to create a common ground of equitable learning which facilitates a process of overall development of the region.

NSTDA-NOLP tutorial on SCORM and its application 26 APRIL 2006
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a suite of technical standards that enable web-based learning systems to find, import, share, reuse, and export learning content in a standardized way. SCORM is written primarily for vendors and toolmakers who build Learning Management Systems and learning content authoring tools so they know what they need to do to their products to conform with SCORM technically.
The SCORM standard is focused on enabling the plug-and-play interoperability, accessibility, and reusability of Web-based learning content. Based on accepted technology standards, including XML and JavaScript, SCORM is fast becoming the defacto e-learning technology standard widely embraced and supported today by world-leading corporations, universities, system providers, and content vendors.
Surasit Vannakrairojn, Director, National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA)- Online Learning Project (NOLP) of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Thailand will conduct a Tutorial session on SCORM 2004-the e-Learning standard. The tutorial will cover the following:
