SCORM and its Scope

•SCORM is Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model

•Broad definition of “Learning Management System” (LMS) as a suite of server-side functionalities that controls the delivery and tracking of learning content to a client-side student.

•The SCORM does not specify functionality within the LMS.

•Only Course Interchange, Metadata, and Runtime Environment are “in scope” for this version of SCORM. •Runtime Environment is not very useful in my opinion as very dependent on learning model – ADL is thinking of computer based instruction

•Note current initiatives essentially go down to page

•They do not address functionality of page (is it a Java Applet, Flash, HTML except for possibly misguided parts of quiz standards
