Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM).
SCORM is a collection of standards and specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility and reusability of Web-based learning content.

Sharable Content Object Reference Model
• SCORM is a collection of standards and specifications
adapted from multiple sources to provide a
comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities that
enable interoperability, accessibility and reusability of
Web-based learning content.
• SCORM is a brain child of ADL.
3. What is evolve in it?
• Key Benefits:
o Allows students and educators to scale, share and reuse
learning content
o Makes learning content discoverable through
interoperability with content repositories
o Enables the development of adaptive learning systems
that can assemble content to meet the learner's needs “on
the fly“
Technically, it’s currently a specification
that includes multiple standards
5. SCORM Principles
• Interoperability:
o The ability to take instructional components developed in
one system and use them in another system .
• Accessibility:
o The ability to locate and access instructional components
from multiple locations and deliver them to other locations.
• Reusability:
o The ability to use instructional components in multiple
applications, courses and contexts.
6. • Durability:
o The ability to withstand technology changes over time
without costly redesign, reconfiguration or recoding.
• Maintainability:
o The ability to withstand content evolution and changes
without costly redesign, reconfiguration or recoding.
• Adaptability:
o The ability to change to satisfy differing user needs.
7. • SCORM also divides the world of learning
technology into functional components.
• The key components are :
Learning Management Systems ( LMS )
o Shareable Content Objects ( SCOs )
o
8. SCO 1
When a SCOs is
delivered, it
communicates with the
LMS.
When it is finished, it
informs the LMS and the
next one is delivered
SCOs are
assembled into
a package with
delivery
instructions
SCO 2
SCO 3
Individual SCOs are created
LMS
An LMS loads the SCOs
and delivers them
according to instructions

Computer
9. How do you take your
aggregation and use it in an
LMS?
Package your content as a Package Interchange
Format (PIF) file.
A PIF is just a zip file containing all the web pages, xml
data files and other assets contained in your
aggregation.
LMS should provide a way to import the PIF file usually
through some sort of web interface.
10. • An object-based approach for developing and
delivering instructional content
• Interoperability of these objects across multiple
delivery environments
• The ability to craft sophisticated learning strategies
based on the learner’s mastery and progress
•
The means to package learning content and
instructional strategies for import and export
• The means to tag content so it may be found
11. What's the future look like for
SCORM.
•
The ADL is working with ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) to facilitate
adoption of SCORM as a national standard by
other countries.
• ADL is exploring ways to open SCORM’s future
evolution and maintenance to a proposed
International Consortium for Interoperability in
eLearning (ICIL) and move it out of the DoD
(Department of Defense).
12. •
Technology enabled learning has tremendous
benefits for organizations .
• Traditional classroom training has components that
can not be replicated electronically.
• “Teachers will never be replaced by technology but technology can be a good assistant of
teachers”.
•
Programs that include both classroom training and
eLearning are called “Blended Learning”.
