What is a SCORM Content Aggregation?

A Content Aggregation is an organization of assets and SCOs into a cohesive unit of instruction. Information about how to sequence the content is external to the resource itself and is contained in a format that can be read by any SCORM-conformant learning management system. The LMS is responsible for interpreting the intended sequence of the content and controlling the presentation of content at run-time.

This represents a significant departure from the way sequencing and navigation have been implemented in the past. Sequencing instructions have usually been contained within the course itself in proprietary formats, making it essentially impossible to move rich content between systems.
