For years L&D professionals have been relying on the tried and true standard for tracking e-learning known as SCORM or Sharable Content Object Reference Model. The SCORM specification allows for communication and data collection between an e-learning participant and the learning management system (LMS) that monitors their progress. The problem, however, is that SCORM has limitations which don’t allow for the accurate tracking of much of the learning that currently occurs in the workplace.

New eBook formats are better for corporate training. The very first eBooks, in the early days of computing, were simply long continuous streams of text with no chapter breaks or any real formatting. They did the job of providing access to the content, but they were not user-friendly and were inferior to hard-copy books in most respects. Eventually those long blocks of text gave way to the PDF format and everything changed.

When the social web emerged sometime at the turn of the century, a new array of opportunities appeared for the creation of dynamic, collaborative and sociable learning environments - we now know it as social media. It wasn't simply blogs and wikis. Repurposing and remixing, mashups and aggregations of content became commonplace, and collaborative, community based spaces were populated with content that was ever shifting, never completed.
