S.C.O.R.M. (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards for e-learning software that allows courses to work across different learning management systems (LMS) similarly to how DVDs work across different DVD players. It defines how courses should be written so different LMS can understand the courses. This allows courses to be shared across different LMS and tracks things like whether a user has visited all pages of a course.

their code so that it can “play well” with
other e-learning software.

12. But how does that help?

14. When you buy DVDs you don’t have to
bother about the make of your player.

15. With any
make it will
work just
fine …

16. Because DVD movies are produced using
a set of standards.

17. S.CO.R.M does same for the e-learning
courses.

SCORM work?
