The
SCORM
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model
(SCORM) is a collection of specifications adapted from multiple
sources to provide a comprehensive suite of Web-based learning
capabilities.
- The SCORM is built upon the work of key specifications
and standards consortia, such as IEEE, AICC, IMS, ARIADNE and
others, to create one unified "reference model" of
interrelated technical specifications and guidelines.
- First released in January
2000, the SCORM continues to evolve through cooperation among
industry, government and academia. The scope of the SCORM is
expected to expand as technology develops.
- A number of organizations have been working on
different but closely related aspects of Web-based learning
technology. While these efforts have made great strides, they
have not been well "connected" to one another. Creating
the SCORM is a process intended to knit together disparate groups
and interests in order to apply current technology developments
to a specific content model.
