Have been spending most of the day trying to create some new LD content, based on an existing internal staff development course. Fortunately the material is already well seperated into learning objects, activities and the services (forums/discussion areas) are easy to spot to.
I am however finding it very slow going actually creating the XML for the LD – which I’m doing in ‘raw’ xml format, using an existing simple LD as a starting template. The three main problems I’m coming across are:…. 1. the ‘titles’ for the learning objects, environment activites etc all seem to need to be repeated, eg for the actual node title and then for the item node title. 2. I’m getting a bit mixed up with the identifiers and identifier-refs and where each of them should be pointing to. 3. the final problem is that although I can successfully upload any changes I make to test and it all gets validated fine, coppercore (or the player) is caching the previous results, making it hard for me to see whether or not my changes have been successful.
