SCORM can wait

OK, I tried. Some websites define it as "Sharable Content Object Reference Model" (eg the official US Advanced Distributed Learning site) while for others it's "Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model" (eg the, um, official US Advanced Distributed Learning site). Glad we got that sorted out.

So, let's look a little more deeply. Ah, now this sounds promising: Virtual University Systems.

"ADL Co-Lab defines Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model (SCORM 1.2)? which includes a Content Aggregation Model (CAM) and a Run-time Environment (RTE). The Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model (SCORM) and other instructional technology specifications are designed to facilitate interoperability and reuse of courseware across learning management systems (LMSs). Toward this end, CourseMate Course Builder course authoring software fully supports the creation of mandatory SCORM meta-data for discovery, use of SCORM data model elements for tracking the progress of learners at run-time, and the creation of SCORM-conformant manifests for exchanging content between repositories and Learning Management Systems (LMS)."

Got that? Good.

Time for bed, said Zebedee.
