This section provided an overview of
what's in the reference model, the purpose of each component,
and where the specifications come from.
Some of the key points:
- The SCORM Overview contains
background information on the ADL initiative, the rationale
of the SCORM, and a summary of the technical specifications
and guidelines encompassed by the SCORM.
- The Content Aggregation Model
provides support for identifying and describing learning content,
aggregating content into learning experiences and moving content
between systems and repositories.
- The Run Time Environment provides
the communications layer and common data scheme and vocabulary
necessary for rich interactivity on the Web.
- The "books" for the SCORM laid out
to date are stable — only minor changes are anticipated
to stay in sync with the underlying specifications. Additional
"books" are anticipated as the SCORM evolves to
address emerging areas of need.
