This section introduced you to the Advanced Distributed Learning initiative's high-level for the SCORM, as outlined in a strategic plan presented to Congress. The high-level include:

    • Accessibility — The ability to locate and access instructional components from one remote location and deliver them to many other locations.

    • Interoperability — The ability to take instructional components developed in one location with one set of tools or platform and use them in another location with a different set of tools or platform.

    • Durability — The ability of an instructional component to withstand technology changes without redesign, reconfiguration or recoding.

    • Reusability — The flexibility to incorporate instructional components in multiple applications and contexts.

    • Cost-effectiveness — Increase learning effectiveness significantly while reducing time and costs.

The SCORM reference model specifically addresses web-based delivery as the context for realizing these.
