SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) Basics




SCORM Basics:

  1. What is SCORM?
  2. SCORM is a set of standards for creating and delivering e-learning content.
  3. It ensures compatibility between e-learning courses and Learning Management Systems (LMS).

  4. Key Features of SCORM:

  5. Interoperability: Courses work across different LMS platforms.
  6. Reusability: Content can be reused in multiple courses.?
  7. Tracking: Allows tracking of learner progress, scores, and completion.
  8. Content Packaging: Courses are packaged in a ZIP file for easy import/export.

  9. Core Components of SCORM:

  10. Content Aggregation Model (CAM): Defines how content is structured.?
  11. Runtime Environment: Handles communication between the LMS and the course (e.g., sending data like completion status).
  12. Sequencing & Navigation: Controls how learners navigate through the course.?

  13. SCORM Versions:

  14. SCORM 1.1: Early version, not widely used.
  15. SCORM 1.2: Popular, supports basic features.
  16. SCORM 2004: Introduced better sequencing and navigation.

  17. How SCORM Works:

  18. Developers package courses as SCORM-compliant ZIP files.
  19. LMS imports these packages and communicates with the course using SCORM protocols.

  20. Benefits of SCORM:

  21. Makes e-learning content portable and LMS-independent.
  22. Simplifies reporting and tracking learner activity.

  23. Alternatives to SCORM:

  24. xAPI (Tin Can API): Allows tracking of informal learning activities and is more flexible.
  25. AICC & LTI: Other standards for e-learning compatibility.
