At the dawn of the video recording age, a battle raged about the best standard to use: VHS or Betamax. In it, Sony came out with a better standard, but kept it to themselves. Meanwhile, JVC’s VHS standard wasn’t quite as good, but they openly licensed it. As Stephen Johnson tells us, in his book Where Good Ideas Come From , the openness of standards fosters innovation. . Standards provide several benefits. Learning Standards. MORE
I’m thinking in particular of those who work to advance our standards. The initial learning technology standards came out from the AICC. Several other initiatives include IEEE (which is pretty much the US based effort on electric and electronic technology standards to the international stage), and the IMS efforts from academia. Standards are good. When standards are well-written, they support a basis upon which innovation can flourish. MORE
Here at Rustici Software, we work with a lot of different standards. SCORM 2004, AICC, and xAPI-based “Tin Can” packages, as well as custom content using our Rustici Cross Domain API (we called it SDXD at the time). SCORM 2004, or AICC. As of Content Controller v2.1 , you can also share your content as an IMS LTI tool provider. Nearly every LMS supports at least one of those three standards, so we felt like our bases were covered.

If you’ve ever had something to do with eLearning, you’ve surely come across such notions as SCORM, AICC, or xAPI. This article will break down every single one of these acronyms, explain how they came about, and what they do.

The deliverables of the design phase will typically include: Design Document – will identify objectives and goals, instructional approach, implementation strategies, detailed curriculum, content outlines for all instruction and will establish all design standards. Open Standards. Standards are important to the extent that systems need to be interoperable, easily maintained and scalable. There are really two basic standards issues. MORE
The IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI®) standard prescribes a way to easily and securely connect learning applications and tools with platforms like learning management systems (LMS), portals, and learning object repositories on your premise or in the cloud, in a secure and standard manner and without the need for expensive custom programming. See all of the IMS-certified LTI tools here. Here at Rustici, we value standards. MORE
Content Integration and Interoperability: Learning management systems should support learning content packaged according to interoperable standards such as SCORM, AICC and xAPI (formerly Tin Can). SCORM (1.2/2004): The SCORM standard helps e-learning authoring tools and content communicate with your learning management system. Docebo supports the Tin Can Standard 1.0. MORE
If you want to dive deeper into the standards – for example, e-commerce – don’t ask – do you offer e-commerce? When do I find out if they offer my standard features? SCORM/AICC/PENS/IMS. Q: Are there any systems that are less than 50K that are very good/contain the standard features? Those that don’t are due to: Your tool works only with SCORM 2004 3rd edition, and your LMS only accepts AICC. MORE
Users can choose to filter the database by key product features including category, deployment method, licensing options, and standards supported. I’ve seen something like this before… What makes the eLearning Atlas unique compared to other industry guides is the ability to search for products by specific standards, and the breadth of products represented. All of the e-Learning specifications are captured- from SCORM and AICC to IMS, PENS and LETSI RTWS. MORE
In order for social media platforms to totally eclipse the function an LMS plays, they would be forced to support interoperability standards like SCORM, AICC or Common Cartridge. For example, see the blog page here: [link] – in this page there is a link to an IMS Common Cartridge published by Pearson, as well as specific content from the cartridge “mashed-up&# into a blog (a QTI Assessment and a secure, Basic LTI launch of an eBook).

You want to implement your courseware to the SCORM standard if you plan to have it launched and/or tracked under an LMS. SCORM is a fairly easy standard to deal with especially since most people are fine with a single SCO that does only single score/completion reporting. What about other Standards? AICC goes after the same thing as what I've described above for SCORM (tracking under an LMS). MORE
Our plug-and-play open architecture approach facilitates interoperabilty and is based on industry standards for Web deployments (XML, SOAP or AQ) and supports major learning standards (AICC, SCORM, IMS, and IEEE)."

The Benefits of Making Your e-Learning AICC and SCORM Compliant . To solve this problem, in 1999 the government tasked a small research laboratory, ADL, to “develop common specifications and standards for e-learning.” The lab combined the work of existing standards organizations like the AICC , IMS and the IEEE LTSC into a cohesive reference model. Today, SCORM is the de facto standard for e-Learning interoperability. SCORM versus AICC. MORE
And, Quizmaker allows you to track your results with your standards based Learning Management System as Quizmaker output is SCORM and AICC compliant. Questions and items can also be imported from MS Word, IMS QTI, Respondus, rich-text, and other formats. Rapid Intake Flashform Rapid eLearning Studio creates interactive Flash-based AICC or SCORM-conformant e-learning courseware.

The first official eLearning content standard, AICC was developed by the Aviation Industry CBT Committee in 1993 as a CD-ROM based standard. A predecessor to SCORM, AICC was difficult to work with and many steps were required to get content in the format running in a learning management system (LMS). An eLearning content authoring tool is a software package which content developers use to create and package eLearning course content using SCORM or xAPI standards. MORE
Recently, we updated our products Content Controller and Rustici Dispatch to allow them to export content as LTI, which is a valuable feature for those in the academic space (years ago, we added this feature to SCORM Cloud Dispatch , and already Rustici Dispatch and Content Controller allowed you to import SCORM, xAPI, cmi5 or AICC content and export it as SCORM and AICC to other platforms). LTI is focused on connecting learning systems in a standard way. MORE
As we approach the end of our SCORM series, in many ways it’s just the beginning for eLearning content standards. eLearning past: AICC. On day one of our series, we learned that AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-Based-Training Committee) can be considered the first eLearning standard, used to track how learners progress through course content. While many eLearning vendors still support AICC, the standard is usually a legacy of older platforms and businesses. MORE
A few systems pitch that they have full mobile learning capability, especially with the iPad including the angle that you can see it full screen rather than the standard universal look – which shows up similar to the smartphone look – i.e. small.
