Three key components

The SCORM Content Aggregation Model is a pedagogically neutral means for designers of Web-based instruction to aggregate learning resources in order to deliver a cohesive learning experience. “Pedagogically neutral” means that the SCORM provides the tools for making this happen without dictating the arrangement, content or pedagogy of the instructional design.

Gathering and organizing learning resources is an essential component of teaching – whether in the classroom or online. The SCORM incorporates several significant tools to facilitate the aggregation of content.

 

 
  • The Content Model — Nomenclature defining the content components of a learning experience.

  • Meta-data A mechanism for describing specific instances of the components of the content model.

  • Content packaging — including Content Structure, which defines how to represent the intended behavior of a learning experience, and Content Packaging, which defines how to package learning resources for movement between different delivery environments.
