SCORM is an initiative started by the US government. ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning) Co-Labs is the developer of the SCORM standard.
The goal of SCORM is to produce course content that is reusable
You can take resources from several courses, and let the server put them together at delivery time
- Currently, this will create courses that look like a book made up of articles from multiple magazines just stapled together
- Current SCORM implementation defines:
- Lesson-Server communication (based on AICC API appendix B mechanism)
- Course Structure File (uses IMS 1.1 directly)
