Abstract

With advanced technologies, computer devices havebecome smaller in size but still with powerfulcomputing ability. As a result, there are growingamount of people start to take distance educationcourses not only by using their PCs but also usingmobile devices such as Pocket PCs. Because PocketPCs are easy to carry, these devices are considered asa proper platform for distance education. In thispaper, we focus on the issues of transferring thecurrent PC based Sharable Content Object ReferenceModel (SCORM) to Pocket PC based. We will alsointroduce the prototype version of Pocket SCORMRun-Time Environment (RTE) which has beendeveloped in our lab. Proposed Pocket SCORMArchitecture is able to operate, even when the mobiledevice is physically disconnected from the network,without losing any students' learning record. Collectedrecords will then be sent back to LearningManagement System (LMS), runs at the sever side,after the device is back on on-line.
