This section discussed the SCORM Content Package — the mechanisms provided by the SCORM for aggregating learning resources and enabling the intended structure and behaviors to be reproduced across diverse systems.

Some of the key points:

    • Content Hierarchy defines a hierarchical representation for grouping learning resources into a logical order. It is based on the IMS Content Packaging Specification.

    • Context Specific Meta-data is information that communicates how a learning resource is to be used in a specific context.

    • Sequencing and Navigation is information for the learning management system (LMS) telling it what to present to a learner, in what order, and what navigation choices to offer.

    • SCORM 1.2 provides basic capabilities for sequencing learning materials. SCORM 1.3 will incorporate the IMS Simple Sequencing specification, offering a much richer toolset.
