SCORM is a standard in e-Learning that makes it possible to track and trace the results of your learners in a Learning Management system (LMS). A course is SCORM compliant when it meets the requirements of the standard set by the ADL. There is a new standard in development that will be the next generation of SCORM.

The good news is that the new SCORM standard (based on project TinCan) will actually make this possible. It is strange indeed to have a standard in this fast developing world with the name Scorm 2004. But again there is project TinCan, it will be the new Scorm standard. HTML5 – mobile learning.

During these sessions I noticed that our basic approach (Determine learning objectives, Figure out how to assess and then create only the content that is really needed) is far from standard. Most people create content, create an assessment and that is it.

The e-Learning industry (the Learning management systems) are still clinging to the outdated SCORM standard.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.

We needed (outdated) standards to run our course in a LMS and track results from our learners. To make things worse we also had competitive standards (Scorm and AICC). On top of that he also managed that both SCORM and IACC will merge into a new standard CMI5, based on XAPI. Aaron is the driving force behind TinCan , now.

There are two main standards for exchanging information between a course created by an authoring tool and a LMS. Make sure both your LMS and the authoring tool support the same standard for this (either Scorm or XAPI. Your tool needs to support the XAPI standard in order to allow you to track the results in that case.

That is a new tracking standard that allows you to track results in your own database outside the LMS. If you need an LMS than make sure your courses and results are not in there. That makes you already less dependent. Courses not ion the LMS. Make sure you sue a seperate authoring tool. Make use of XAPI. No installed software.

We have two main standards in our industry SCORM and IACC, both of them enable us to track and trace results, both of them confine eLearning within the borders of the LMS. This leaves us with one standard and but more importantly it ‘frees’ eLearning from the boundaries of the LMS.

In those days, a lot of businesses had a physical academy or a training centre, and they would fly people in to take courses in your standard classroom setting. Rewind to the 1990s, when e-Learning was starting to make a splash. That meant considerable investments on a lot of fronts.

Your standard procedure for developing a course after you receive an assignment is to create the ‘learning objectives’ and have them signed off by the principal. If you can’t define the objectives, don’t develop the course, it is probably not solving a real business issue. This is a simple example how they can help you manage the environment.
