1.1.2. Using the SCORM RTE Book
This book should prove useful to LMS, SCO and authoring tool vendors wishing to support SCORM in their products, and to anyone wishing to understand the communications relationship between content and LMSs, such as SCORM content developers.
Section 1: The SCORM® Run-Time Environment (RTE) and Section 2: Managing the Run-Time Environment (RTE) of this book cover general RTE-related concepts. These sections are recommended reading for those seeking an introduction to the concepts behind the SCORM RTE and who may not wish to delve into its technical details. Others who may find these sections useful include those wishing to learn about updates to the RTE. Section 2.1: Run-Time Environment (RTE) Management, for instance, discusses how the new Sequencing and Navigation book impacts the SCORM RTE.
Section 3: Application Programming Interface (API) is the first section providing technical details about the RTE. This section explains every SCORM API method and error message available to content developers, and even provides sample code as well as API Usage Requirements and Guidelines.
Section 4: SCORM® Run-Time Environment Data Model covers every SCORM data model element in detail, which includes a listing of specific LMS and SCO behavior requirements in relation to a given element.
