SCORM

Sharable Content Object Reference Model

A set of technical standards used in eLearning to ensure that online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) are compatible. Developed by the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, SCORM allows digital learning materials to be packaged and shared across different systems without requiring custom integration or development.

SCORM dictates how content is structured, how it communicates with an LMS, and how learner data is tracked, such as course completion, scores, and progress. This enables educators, businesses, and institutions to create reusable, interoperable content that can be distributed widely while maintaining consistent functionality. The most widely adopted versions of SCORM are SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, with slight differences in tracking and reporting features.

By adhering to SCORM standards, content creators ensure their eLearning modules can be easily imported into various LMS platforms, providing flexibility and scalability for educational programs.
