This section provided an introduction
to some of the basic concepts behind the SCORM. Some of the key
points:
- Basic web technology does not provide sufficient
capabilities for rich learning interaction.
- Learning Management Systems add extensive
functionality but are often not interoperable with other systems.
- Proprietary systems and content present difficulties
when you want to move to another system or use content from
an incompatible source, often requiring costly re-development.
- The SCORM provides a consistent interface
between Learning Management Systems and content, thereby enabling
interchangeability and interoperability.
- The SCORM enables richer interactivity and
greater cost-effectiveness without constraining the design
of e-learning environments or content.
