An example
An instructor would like to add an exercise on identifying
cloud types to an online course on weather. It should work with
basic browsers, take less than 10 minutes for a student to complete
and should be available in a Spanish language version.
Using a SCORM-savvy Learning Management System,
the instructor conducts a search of multiple linked archives.
A suitable module is retrieved as a content package and added
to the instructor's course. Because both the content and the LMS
are SCORM conformant, advanced features such as student progress
tracking and score reporting work transparently in conjunction
with the rest of the course.
The completed course, composed of accessible
Sharable Content Objects (SCOs) from several sources, is delivered
to multiple remote locations.
SCORM features that support Accessibility
The SCORM addresses the Accessibility requirement
by providing a standard way of packaging content as re-usable,
self-contained objects. Rich, standardized meta-data is associated
with the content, containing information about subject matter,
design, rights, technical, and pedagogical aspects, and enabling
sophisticated searches across distributed repositories. Course
structure information is contained with the content, enabling
a Learning Management System to make sophisticated use for the
material.
(Note: The type of repository
described here exists only in experimental form at present.
However, the SCORM anticipates the availability of such repositories
and has many features to support this sort of functionality.)
