Where the SCORM fits in


Development of the SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a great example of how ADL is working to achieve its goals. The SCORM is a highly valuable set of development and implementation guidelines, created to bridge the gap between disparate groups engaged in developing e-learning specifications, and the everyday needs of training developers and providers.

The SCORM is an essential ingredient for realizing the goals of the Advanced Distributed Learning initiative, but it is only one piece of a comprehensive strategy to “provide access to the highest quality education and training, tailored to individual needs, and delivered cost-effectively, anywhere, anytime” as expressed in the ADL vision statement.
