This section provided an overview of
the SCORM Run-time Environment — the part of the SCORM that
enables communication between a Sharable
Content Object (SCO) and a learning management system.
- The LMS controls which SCOs are launched at
what time through the use the the Launch Mechanism.
A SCO cannot launch another SCO.
- A SCO uses the SCORM API to
communicate its state to an LMS, and to request, receive and
send information from and to the LMS.
- The SCORM Data Model gives
a SCO and an LMS the ability to understand one another by
establishing a common vocabulary. It helps make interoperability
possible by establishing standard data elements so systems
and content can exchange and store information.
