1.0 INTRODUCTION
The aim of the LO Development Guide is to facilitate Bahagian Pembangunan Sumber’s
(BPS) LO Development Team to develop LOs either internally or with other strategic
partners. It should be used in an ongoing way by the team members as a reference tool
when developing new LOs of any subjects cross the curriculum.
2.0 LO COMPONENTS
In every LO developed for the LO project comprises THREE main components, i.e.
Objective, Learning Activity and Assessment (in Bahasa, the components are named as
Objektif, Aktiviti Pembelajaran and Penilaian). Each SCO in every component of an LO is
independent so that they can be integrated and disintegrated for the purpose of reusability.
Diagram 1.0 gives more details of the components.
OBJECTIVE
SCOn
SCOn
LEARNING
ACTIVITY
ASSESSMENT
• SCO 1 is the objective(s) of the
LO. This SCO is compulsory.
• SCO 2 is the prior knowledge of
the LO. This SCO is optional.
SCOn
• The contents can be divided into
different SCOs and must be given
headings and/or sub-headings
SCOn
• Activities can be incorporated into
the contents or exist on their own.
SCOn
• The last SCO of this component
can be the summary of the LO.
SCOn
• There are 3 types of assessment
that can be used.
• Questions should be between 812.
• All questions will be in 1 SCO.
Diagram 1.0: LO Components
Note:
The number of SCOs in an LO is not fixed, but dependent on the objectives and other
factors.

3.0 LO TECHNICAL STANDARDS
This section will outline the standards that shall be followed..
3.1
SCORM 2004 (3rd Edition) Standard
The LO Development uses SCORM 2004 3rd Edition standard and
guidelines, but it only choose and select a few major components in
SCORM to make sure the learning process can be tracked by the LMS
Sequencing Information
-
The LO development applies No Sequencing rules for navigation
between SCOs
Learners can jump to any other SCO in the LO.
Manifest file
-
3.2
A manifest is an XML document that describes the components of the
content package. In manifest,
o completion threshold is set to 1 (Completion status only set to
Completed if learners view all screen of the SCO)
o hide LMS button like Continue and Previous to avoid confusing
to the navigation button embedded in LO
o metadata location for all asset, SCOs and the LO package
itself (Use external metadata file to describe each element of
LO to make sure the metadata file can be reuse in future)
LO General Technical Standards
The LOs that are developed and will be developed shall follow the
technical standards as outlined below:
1. The LOs are web-based with conformance to SCORM 2004.
2. The LOs are able to both stand-alone version and also LMScompliant.
3. The LOs shall run efficiently in a personal computer with the following
minimum specifications:
(a) Pentium III (800 MHz) and equivalent or better
(b) Free disk space of 200MB
(c) SVGA card and monitor supporting a display of 800 x 600 16
bit colours
(d) Internet connection with the transfer rate of 512 kbps or
better
(e) CD-ROMs with read speed of 24 x or better
(f)
Any sound card with speakers

4. The LOs shall run efficiently in the following environment:
(a) Main platforms, which are Windows, Macintosh & Linux
operating system.
(b) Browser: Internet Explorer for Windows, Safari for Macintosh

(d) The montage (first page of each LO) shall take in ± 5
seconds.
(e) Options of using a cross platform browser to be developed
to accompany the LOs.
(f)
All the LOs can be run either offline or online without any
bugs
(g) The same LO files should be used for the same LOs when
they run offline.
5. Programming approach:
See CourseLab Action

(b) Navigation standard buttons are found on all pages
(c) Students shall have the flexibility to navigate to the next and
