SCORM Conformance
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 Defense Department is leading the initiative to
standardize online learning to make it more efficient and less
spastic through the SCORM specifications. 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. Want pictures in your content? No
problem. Want to skip lessons if a student met certain criteria? No
problem. Want students to be able to choose their own lessons, have
automated content, or be able to sit back and hit a previous or next
button to move around the lessons? No problem.
The SCORM initiative considers how your
content interacts and allows you to track content data in between
sessions. It allows you to grade users, track usage times, and use
rule based navigation. Additionally, the SCORM initiative is still a
work in progress. It is constantly being reviewed and revised to
accommodate new lines of thought.
