I have developed a PHP authoring tool that generates 3D content. I want that Learning Management Systems can connect to this tool to generate this 3D content in a SCORM compatible format.
If my PHP authoring tool is, for example, index.php I imagine there is way of integrating this page into a LMS, by adding it in the manifest.
I have seen there are JavaScript APIs for generating SCO files, but I am not sure if this is possible for a whole authoring tool, or 3D content.
Should I use an API for making this PHP tool part of the LMS or should I generate directly SCORM output with the tool, and the import to a LMS? Which is the right way to approach this problem?
Your tool should produce (export) a ready-to-go scorm zip package. Then anyone will be able to import it into a LMS. That's how all scorm tools work.
