Advancing Web-Based Learning: The SCORM Framework and Future Directions

The SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a pivotal reference model for web-based learning. It aims to standardize the way online education content is structured, enabling easier reuse and interoperability across Learning Management Systems (LMS). This document outlines the current capabilities and future ambitions of SCORM, emphasizing the importance of developing reusable content, adaptive learning systems, and compliance with emerging standards. As we advance, organizations must rethink their distance learning strategies and embrace a content-based economy for lifelong learning.

  1. TECHLEARN COLLABORATIVE UpdateShareable Courseware Object Reference ModelJanuary 2000“Where are we and where are we going?” (Philip V.W. Dodds)

  2. ADL Technical Work Group A Partnership • Industry • DoD • Federal Government • Academia

  3. AICC/IEEE/IMS/ADL

  4. The ADL SCORM – What is it? • A reference model that defines a web-based learning “content model” • A set of interrelated specifications designed to meet DoD’s high level “-ilities” • A process to knit together disparate groups and interests • A bridge from general emerging technologies to commercial implementations …an evolving document to collect all the “bits and pieces” in one place

  5. Web-based Learning Content Issues For starters… • Can’t move a course from one LMS to another • Can’t reuse content “chunks” across different LMS systems • Can’t create searchable content or media repositories across different LMS environments ….etc. These are key enabling capabilities… The ADL SCORM is a first step toward a larger vision

  6. End State • Enable a learning object content-based economy • Enable adaptive, intelligent tutoring capability • Enable large-scale, distributed shareable content repositories • Enable enhanced performance through faster, more economical training

  7. SCORM Scope (today) ADL SCORM’s three major topics: • XML-based Course Structure Format (moving courses from one LMS to another) • Run Time Environment: common communications between content and LMS • Application of Metadata: to courses, content “chunks”, and raw media elements (for searchable libraries/repositories

  8. What We Get (near term) • Small, reusable, discoverable content “chunks” • Discoverable media assets • Ability to find and move courses This is a critical starting point, but there is much, much more to be done!

  9. What Do Work On Next • Release SCORM 1.0 2-1-00 with “SDK” • Convert LMSs (e.g., DAU) to SCORM spec. • Convert Content (e.g., ATSC) to SCORM spec. • Create examples – lots of them; give them away • Work with other institutions/labs to share results • Test out compliance test software as it becomes available • Establish Web Development Center in Co-Lab • Share as much as we can with as many as possible • Build a “repository” of actual code and content

  10. What Should You Do? It’s time to rethink your distance learning strategy • Imagine large repositories of learning content • Imagine dynamic learning management systems that: • Adapt to the needs of the learner on the fly • Provide intelligent tutoring capabilities • Imagine a new knowledge/content based economy • Learning content develops durable market value • Investment in learning content becomes a core strategy …delivering life-long learning is “the next big thing” – and it’s the next big e-commerce business!

  11. What Should You Do? • Start designing content with reuse in mind • Try to design content in small, logical “chunks” • Monitor evolution of key standards • Tell your vendors you want standards-based products • Develop an organizational strategy for adopting distributed learning that match your core competencies • Don’t put off “dealing” with web-based learning or your competition will eat your lunch
