Examples
Formerly, your staff needed to travel to the home
office for a week to receive training. With
e-learning deliverable at any time and any place, staff can now
stay up-to-date by spending a couple hours at a time online.
Formerly, you had to redevelop the same material
three times to work with the three different systems in use at
your company. With SCORM-compliant materials and learning management
systems, the same content will work across the enterprise.
Online learning can be self-paced and adapt to
learner needs, offering learners a more effective, customized
learning
experience. Training time may also be reduced.
Standards-based learning materials will have longer
useful lifetimes, freeing up development resources to do more
than before, and saving the cost of continuous re-development.
SCORM and Cost-effectiveness
The SCORM fosters increased cost-effectiveness by
both controlling costs and enhancing effectiveness.
Interoperability, reusability, and durability help
to control costs, enabling more to be done with a given level
of resources.
Any time/anywhere delivery, tailored instruction,
and the ability to make better use of instructor contact time
are aspects of the promise of the SCORM that will help to increase
the effectiveness of online training and education.
