Technology Solution

Information technology can solve logistical and financial problems of individualized instruction.

Technology capable of providing real-time,on-demand adaptation (pace, sequence, content and method of instruction).

And Then The WWW…

Provided accessibility to information and knowledge, anytime and anywhere.

Initially online learning was adapted (“repurposed”) from existing CBI – only the delivery method changed.

Learning Management Systems encouraged separating control and content.

The Need For SCORM

In 1997, the Department of Defense and the White House created the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative.

ADL initiative has defined high-level requirements for learning content.

These requirements are known as the Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM).

The “Web-based assumption”.

What SCORM Enables

A Web-based LMS can launch content that isauthored using tools from different vendors and exchange data with that content.

Web-based LMS products from different vendorscan launch the same content and exchange data with that content during execution.

Multiple Web-based LMS products/environmentscan access a common repository of executable content and launch such content.

SCOs

A collection of one or more Assets that represent a single launchable learning resource that utilizes the SCORM RTE to communicate with LMSs.

Independent of learning context.

“… subjectively small units, such that potential reuse across multiple learning contexts is feasible”.

Can be described with meta-data.

Can not communicate with other SCOs.

Context?June 16-18, 2004

The Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative www.adlnet.org

“By themselves, content objects have no specific context. When combined with other instructional content objects, the aggregation provides the context and supports a defined learning experience. Content objects can thus be designed for reuse in multiple contexts.”

• SCORM 2004 Overview. Advanced Distributed Learning. Page 24.

Do You Need SCORM?Yes, if: You want to design content that

tracks performance and progress and adapts accordingly.

You plan to use an LMS to deliver and manage content.

You will reuse content in other contexts.

You want to create a library of learning objects.

You want to publish and receive royalties.

Probably not, if: The content is short-lived and

won’t be reused.

You never plan to use an LMS to deliver and track content.

You do not have content that has complex behaviors such as remediation.

You want only simple, static, hyperlinked content as a reference manual.
