  1. Everything You Didn't Want to Know about SCORM. Be very, very afraid

  2. Definition • Shareable Content Object Reference Model • Collection of standards and specifications for web-based e-learning • Defines communications between client side content and a host system • Could be anything • Course • Chapter • Topic

  3. Versions 1.2 2004 v4 - Sequencing

  4. What is it actually? • Zipped file containing everything needed for the web-based delivery of content • HTML webpages containing Javascript • imsmanifest.xml • Everything listed in the imsmanifest.xml

  5. How does it communicate? • Open a web browser • Launch the module from the LMS/TMS • The LMS/TMS sends back a webpage with information • SCORM API (Name, Scores, Bookmark, etc) • When you interact with the webpage, you are using Javascript to send information to the LMS/TMS • The LMS/TMS writes the information to its database

  6. How does it affect the developer? • Everything is fine until you start adding technology • Texts and graphics • Video • Audio • Animation • Simulation • Webinars • Streaming/Video-on-Demand • Virtual Environments

  7. What are you talking about? If you want to track or know the status of an object, you need to communicate with the JavaScript contained in the webpage. Think of the webpage as a building protected by a surveillance system with a set of instructions (JavaScript). If you put an object in the building and you don’t tell the system to add the object to the instructions, you can’t tell the LMS/TMS you want to track or know the status of the object. Not a problem if you DON’T want to track an object.

  8. Examples of Objects Video Audio Animations Simulations Complex assessments Flash apps (Captivate, Articulate)

  9. Work Around • Use tools verified to work with SCORM • Modification made be necessary • Assess the object • Add an acknowledgment to the SCO

  10. The future is looking bright! • Training & Learning Architecture (TLA) • Encompasses a set of standardized Web service specifications and Open Source Software (OSS) designed to create a rich environment for connected training and learning. • Like SCORM, the TLA is not a system itself, but rather enables systems or applications to be built for learning. • Experience API (xAPI) • Learning Record Store • Learning Registry • 3D Repository • RUSSEL

  11. Training & Learning Architecture (TLA) The TLA components align with 4 key concepts:  

  12. Experience Tracking • Experience Tracking: • Specifications and software that can be used to track learner data based on interactions with learning experiences. • Learning experiences can derive from many contexts, including formal courses, simulations, informal learning with websites and videos, games, and social media interactions. • Experience API (xAPI) • Learning Record Store

  13. Experience Tracking • Experience API: • Store and track access to learning experiences • Enable tracking of learning experiences, including traditional records, such as scores or completion • Stores records of learner’s actions, like reading an article or watching a training video • Learning Record Store: • a system that stores the tracking statements communicated through the Experience API (xAPI) • validate and store incoming statements, then retrieve the data when queried • Learning activities using the xAPI generate statements in the form of "I did this" or "Actor verb object

  14. Content Brokering & Understanding • Specifications and software to manage content to support just-in-time learning and enable selection of the next logical activity • Re-Usability Support System for E-Learning (RUSSEL) • Learning Registry • 3D Repository

  15. Content Brokering & Understanding • Re-Usability Support System for E-Learning (RUSSEL) • Open-source software project to manage and repurpose courses, documents and multimedia assets • Includes an Electronic Performance Support System (EPSS) for reuse and repurposing of SCORM-conformant content based on instructional design best practices and reusable design frameworks • Learning Registry • capturing, connecting and sharing data about learning resources available online • 3D Repository • A repository for 3D objects

  16. Learner Profile Provides access to data about learners such as learner preferences and course history Information found in the profile can be used to tailor a learning experience to an individual by taking into account the learners specific style and experience within a subject Profile can be developed with data from many sources, including experience tracking and learner-entered information

  17. Competency Networks Enables learning objectives and competency definitions to be used by content and systems to establish proper relationships The relationships will map content/courses to objectives/competencies based on the established definitions
