SCORM
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards and specifications for e-learning content and systems, enabling interoperability between learning management systems (LMS) and online courses. It defines how content is packaged, launched, tracked, and communicated, ensuring that courses can be reused across different platforms without compatibility issues. SCORM is widely used in corporate training, education, and government sectors to deliver and manage digital learning.
Developers should learn SCORM when building or integrating e-learning platforms, content authoring tools, or custom learning applications that need to comply with industry standards for interoperability. It is essential for creating courses that can be deployed on multiple LMS platforms, tracking learner progress (e.g., completion, scores), and ensuring data exchange between content and systems. Use cases include developing SCORM-compliant courses, implementing LMS features like reporting, or migrating legacy training content to modern systems.
