The Path to E-Learning Standards
The SCORM is a vital element of the ADL Initiatives
strategy for harmonizing the independent efforts of the specifications
consortia, interpreting their work for the domain of web-based
learning, and accelerating the formalization of e-learning standards.
ADL hopes to accelerate the development of e-learning standards
by validating the best emerging specifications through test-bed
implementations and by feeding back real-world results for further
refinement.
As consensus develops, standards bodies such as
IEEE and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
will establish formalized standards. It is hoped that what is
usually a 10+ year process can be substantially shortened using
this strategy. |
