Sequencing and Navigation

SCORM 1.2 provides an optional means to sequence learning resources using prerequisites. Through the use of the lesson_status element of the SCORM data model, SCOs can be marked with status information, such as passed, failed, not attempted, and incomplete. Material may or may not be presented depending on the status of its prerequisites.

 

SCORM 1.3 incorporates the IMS Simple Sequencing specification, which allows sequencing and navigation information to be included within a content package manifest. Implementation of this specification will enable more robust and flexible sequencing strategies.

The use of prerequisites for the implementation of sequencing will no longer be recommended.
