Valamis is a social learning environment for sharing and receiving knowledge. We want to help people to share knowledge and learn. You can use Valamis as your organization's social learning environment.
Supported Liferay version is currently 6.2. The targeted version of SCORM is 2004 4th edition with support of SCORM 1.2. All server-side code is written using the Scala programming language for the JVM.
The current implementation is able to display SCORM and Tin Can content with respect towards the different content organizations and the activity structure in each organization. Application includes a question editor for creating quizes with different types of questions (single-/multi-choice, matching, short answer, etc.)
Administrative features let you manage SCORM packages, uploading the them in standard zipped format. The user interface is available as a JSR-compliant portlets, which may be deployed into Liferay portal. The portlet version has been tested on Liferay 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, and depend on its specific features.
The solution uses Liferay database, so no need to install additional database.
If deployed against a portlet container, the end-user features are available via the portlet's standard View mode, while administrative features are available via the Edit mode. Also there is another portlet for question editor, quiz editor and gradebook.
Since version 2.4 Valamis Community Edition is separated into two packages in GitHub: Valamis LRS (Learning Record Store, https://github.com/arcusys/valamis-lrs) and Valamis components (this repository). You need to compile both of these.
Download Valamis CE source code from this repository and compile the application yourself
