SCORM

SCORM stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model” and it is a set of technical standards developed for eLearning software products. In its essence, SCORM enables interoperability between eLearning software products. Specifically, the model determines how online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) communicate with each other.

The Goal of SCORM

Learning Content under SCROM must have the following characteristics;

  Accessability

•  Content can be identified and located when it is needed and as it is needed

Interoperability

• Content will function in multiple applications, environment and software/hardware configurations regardless of the tools and platform used to create.

Reusability

•    Content is independent of learning context and can be used for many different learners.

Durability    

•  Content does not require modification to operate as software systems are changed or upgraded
