On SCORM the drop is 83%. LMS and SCORM. Both terms are dropping in Google searches LMS by 50%, SCORM by over 80%. We all know that SCORM is outdated, an industry standard that over a decade old is a shame. Is this a decline in interest for e-Learning or is a signal for something else? Why is this happening?

The good news is that the new SCORM standard (based on project TinCan) will actually make this possible. Scorm dead? In previous conferences you could pick up the sound of people who where proclaiming that Scorm is that or at least would die. But again there is project TinCan, it will be the new Scorm standard.

The e-Learning industry (the Learning management systems) are still clinging to the outdated SCORM standard. This year a new SCORM standard called CMI5 will be launched, it is based on XAPI. This should be a trend, but it isn’t. XAPI is the future and should be huge by now, but it is not.

Make sure both your LMS and the authoring tool support the same standard for this (either Scorm or XAPI. For more details on SCORM and XAPI go to this page ). What do SCORM compliance, AICC, XAPI and CMI5 mean? There are two main standards for exchanging information between a course created by an authoring tool and a LMS.

This means that learning will be freed from the strict (SCORM) boundaries and this will change our world. You can put learning content in in a website, an intranet, a CD-rom, a flash stick and still record the progress the learners has made. From now on BYOD (bring your own device) is really an option.

Through SCORM it is possible to report on the outcome per learner per objective. Based on the outcome of a course the learner will be directed to a relevant next course. This is for example possible when you use a course created in easygenerator in a Learning management system like ANewSpring. Report on the learning objectives.
