A better LMS

Here's an LMS with a "competitive edge" — conformance to the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (the SCORM).

SCORM conformance enables such capabilities as the ability to use standard "packages" of learning content, the ability to recognize individual students and collect information about their progress, and knowing important details about a piece of content through meta-data.

As long as the SCORM “edge” stays the same, that is, SCORM compliant, Learning Management Systems can come in many different shapes and sizes.

   



In other words, Learning Management Systems and Leaning Content Management Systems can offer different feature sets, have different strengths, and be very different in look and feel, but as long as they follow the SCORM specifications, SCORM content should work well with any of them.
