	CETIS-"SCORM is not for everyone"- ADL responds
		The plan is to evolve SCORM to ensure that it is as useful as possible to the ADL community.
		SCORM has always been developed in an environment that open for all to participate in.
		The guide's primary focus is for the training community; however, the SCORM definitions and strategies presented in the guide can be easily transferred to the educational community for a wide range of learners (including K-12 and higher education).

	Cover Pages: Shareable Content Object Reference Model Initiative (SCORM)
		SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), first developed by the Department of Defense, is a set of specifications that aim to enable interoperability and reusability of Web-based e-learning content.
		But SCORM buyers needn't worry that their investments in courseware and learning management systems will be incompatible, said Wisher, who works at the ADL Co-Lab in Alexandria, Va. Also, vendors that conform to the spec can reach a larger market, he said.
		The SCORM is the sine qua non enabler of an open-architecture specification and the foundation for large-scale development and implementation of ADL tools and content to meet the ADL fundamental requirements of interoperability, durability, accessibility, affordability and reusability.

	Position Statement
		The key SCORM insight is to imagine the content used to deliver Web-based learning as composed of small, interoperable building blocks that may come from many different content providers, that may be implemented in different media types, and that may be selected and combined to support many different learning experiences.
		The classic SCORM usage scenario is an application known as a “learning management system” that relies on a run-time service distributed between a client and a server and that is considered as “owned” by the server.
		SCORM 2004 introduces a small data model to allow a SCO to communicate navigation requests such as continue, previous, exit to a run-time service.

	e-Learning Content Standard SCORM \| SCORM \| e-Learning Training
		The SCORM specification does not cover all aspects of a learning enterprise; for example, it does not specify how tracking information is stored and what reports are generated, what pedagogical or training models should be used, or how learner information is compiled.
		SCORM is a collection of specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility and reuse of Web-based learning content [from the ADL SCORM FAQ].
		SCORM does not specify how this is done, but conformance requires that a documented process exist to do it.

	SCORM Player - deliver SCORM course on CD or static web site
		The current version is considered final unless funding is available to develop compatibility to later version of SCORM specification.
		This means there is a large quantity of SCORM compliant content that is commercially available and can be installed and run on many different course management systems with little or no further customisation.
		Add to this the ease with which standard HTML pages can be converted to SCORM (with Dreamweaver extensions), the convenience of Course Player for online and CD delivery of courses, Course Player's support of style-sheets and content encryption, and we think there is a winning combination.

	SCORM
		SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of standard web-based technologies and protocols that allow application developers to share content and learner data between diverse learning management systems.
		SCORM utilizes XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and JavaScript as standards to define a protocol for application developers wanting to create instruction that can be shared between learning systems utilizing different technologies and structures.
		SCORM was developed with the guidance of a large consortium of academic, technological and governmental organizations.

	Top News - Gathering SCORM could transform eLearning
		What's more, SCORM is opening the door for the creation of "digital repositories," or collections of sharable, reusable online content that educators can search through to find items they can incorporate into their own instruction.
		Earlier versions of SCORM, which has been around since 2000, permitted learning "objects"--presentations, tutorials, animations, simulations, audio or video files, and so on--to be shared among various LMS programs, but developers had difficulty standardizing the components that allowed for the repeatable tracking of student progress and remediation.
		The developers who put together SCORM 2004 answered that concern, pulling together what is considered to be a complete reference model for creating a reusable learning object with built-in student remediation functionality.

	SCORM
		SCORM is a reference model that is primarily aimed at vendors to help ensure that digital content is independent of the Learning (or Content) Management System (LMS) that it is residing in.
		SCORM standards try to ensure that learning content is reusable and can be moved from one LMS to another.
		SCORM includes a mechanism for describing the specific requirements of a piece of content, such as required plug-ins, so multimedia and content such as Flash can be made SCORM compliant.

	Canadian Core: SCORM
		SCORM, in its own words, "is a reference model that references a set of interrelated technical specifications and guidelines designed to meet the [Department of Defence's] high level requirements for Web-based learning content" (SCORM Version 1.1).
		The small part of CanCore that lies outside of SCORM would be represented, for example, by the refinements to the educational elements and vocabularies that CanCore is undertaking.
		All 11 elements that SCORM identifies as mandatory for Raw Media are also identified as "core" in the CanCore Application Profile.

		This "catcher" for SCORM 1.2 is a wrapper that can be easily added without any knowledge of the internals of the SCO, for cases where fixing the SCO itself is not economically feasible.
		SCORM content interoperability depends on the ability of SCORM content objects to discover a SCORM API instance provided by the LMS in a related frame of window.
		Interstitial states are required in SCORM 2004 sequencing while the sequencer is determining what to do next, or when the sequencer does not know what to do because the user must decide.

		SCORM 1.3) specification was released in January 2004--it is labeled as "final" although a few kinks remain to be ironed out.
		There are basically two levels of conformance for SCORM 2004: The first level is conformance with the content packaging and runtime specifications, and the next level up is conformance with the sequencing and navigation specification, which adds sequencing behaviors to the content (for example, directed flow or adaptive branching or remediation behaviors).
		SCORM 1.2 was designed to allow content longevity through a simple interface and a simple content model.

	What is Shareable Content Object Reference Model? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: SCORM
		SCORM was developed in response to a United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to promote standardization in e-learning.
		It was designed to facilitate moving course content and related information (such as student records) from one platform to another, to make course content into modular objects that can be reused in other courses, and to enable any LMS to search others for usable course content.
		The SCORM specifications, which are distributed through the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative Network, define an XML-based means of representing course structures, an application programming interface (API), a content-to-LMS data model, a content launch specification, and a specification for metadata records for all components of a system.

	SCORM: A sharable and interoperable model for e-learning
		The SCORM specifications have been developed by the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, which was launched in 1997 by the Department of Defense.
		Prior to SCORM, e-learning content was not interoperable (an entire course or its components could not be moved from one LMS to another) and therefore not sharable.
		For a SCORM package to be interoperable, each SCO must contain the “contractually specified interfaces” to LMS.

	SCORM Compliance LMS
		SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a collection of standards and specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive standard of web-based learning.
		The SCORM specifications themselves allow institutions to know what their content will do on any website that is SCORM compliant at any time because the format is always the same.
		SCORM compliance allows greater interoperability between websites, computers, and portable media while leaving the freedom of the customization of content up to the business owner rather than the website that hosts the content.
