Abstract
The work is based on engineering the audio video contents of the didactic presentations
at the Regional Symposium on Sleep Medicine delivered to the target audience at
NAMSCON 2013. The audio was extracted and then synchronized with Power Points,
re-synthesized as SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) compliant
packages and integrated with Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning
Environment) as Learning Management System (LMS). The preliminary evaluation
results showed high satisfaction with the content, its short loading time and smooth
playback. These attributes were demonstrated to be effective in enhancing learning.
The Moodle as LMS also allows tracking the participants' progress, involving them in
social groups and open discussion forum for further enriching the online content and
also helps in statistical analysis through its inbuilt web analytics. The technology is not
only flexible and economical but also an effective delivery method for Continuing
Professional Development Programmes.
