The three Run-time Environment components


In this section you were introduced to the three components of the SCORM Run-time Environment, and saw what would happen if any of the components were unavailable.

You learned that for learning content to be interoperable across different learning management systems, you need

 

  • A common way to start learning resources — the Launch Mechanism

  • A common mechanism for communication — the API

  • A common vocabulary — the Data Model

When learning management systems and learning content take advantage of the SCORM Run-time Environment, the result is greatly enhanced interoperability, which enables richer, more cost-effective e-learning.
