The SCORM Content Aggregation Model

A teacher planning a lesson or course spends a considerable amount of time creating and gathering materials. They might select a textbook or other readings, gather images or objects and put them together as classroom displays, present information in spoken or written form, create demonstrations of key concepts, plan activities to reinforce learning and create assessments to test students’ knowledge.

In other words, they create, discover and gather together educational “assets” into more complex learning resources, then organize the resources into a predefined sequence of delivery. A good term for this process might be to aggregate – to make a sum, combination or composite of separable elements.

This is the idea behind the SCORM Content Aggregation Model.
