What is SCORM?
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a set of technical standards for e-learning software
SCORM, or Sharable Content Object Reference Model, is a set of technical standards for e-learning software, established in 2000 by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL), a program initiated by the United States Department of Defense.
SCORM ensures that e-learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) can work together. In other words, it’s a rulebook for creating and handling online learning content so it can be easily shared, reused, and tracked.
SCORM standardizes the way e-learning courses are created and delivered. Before SCORM, course content might only work on the LMS for which it was specifically designed. This made it difficult to transfer courses between different systems.
With SCORM, content developers and instructional designers can create interoperable courses that work on multiple platforms, reducing costs and increasing accessibility.
Good to see you covering this Scott - I commented on LinkedIn a while back, after one of your sessions, if the division between learning designers and technical writers is a false one (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/igardner_lets-talk-about-technical-documentation-activity-6995755969112588288-wz_5?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop).
