Apparatus for SCORM-based e-learning contents service in digital broadcasting system and method thereof

Abstract

An apparatus for a SCORM-based e-learning contents service in a digital broadcasting system and a method thereof that makes it possible to implement a SCORM-based e-learning method that is a PC-based leaning method currently recognized as the standard of the e-learning industries in an MPEG-2-based digital broadcasting system. The apparatus includes a set top box for transmitting information about a kind of terminal through a return channel and then reproducing a learning TS received through a broadcasting network on a digital television (TV) receiver in accordance with received XML sync information if a user is authenticated, a learning management system for transmitting an API adaptor supportable in the set top box through the return channel in accordance with the terminal kind information transmitted from the set top box, and a digital TV transmitter for generating the learning TS by packaging learning moving-picture data, learning data and sequencing information transmitted from the learning management system, generating the XML sync information, and transmitting the learning TS and the XML sync information through the broadcasting network.
