WHAT IS SCORM?
If you frequently work with e-learning or are active in the e-learning environment, you have probably heard the term SCORM. The abbreviation stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. The SCORM standard describes how learning content can be made available in as small and modular a form as possible so that this learning content can be reused in different places.
As a technical standard, SCORM also ensures that different e-learning content and courses can communicate with each other and with different LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS.
SCORM is currently the most widely used standard for LMS and e-learning content and is a common term in the field of e-learning.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SCORM COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS?
Working with SCORM-compatible systems and courses makes the job of both trainers and learners immensely easier.
Here's what SCORM-compatible systems do:
-
Users' course progress is recorded
-
Reports can be created
-
Time measurement of individual users for specific learning modules is possible if required
-
Successes and failures in individual modules are recorded
-
SCORM is particularly useful in analyzing learning successes. It can be used to document specific user responses, store test results, and set scores or other goals for modules. You can also see what content was viewed, for how long, and how long it took your employees in total to complete each course.
SCORM also gives users another advantage: with authoring tools, such as our partner LEARNING SLIDES , you can easily create your own e-learning content and courses. You then upload the SCORM content you create to a compatible learning management system and assign it directly to learners.
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE SCORM-COMPLIANT CONTENT AND PLATFORMS?
If you use one or more LMSs to train employees in your company, then you should definitely use SCORM-compatible courses. This enables cross-platform use of all content. In addition, learners' progress is stored, tracked, and effectively evaluated. Even if you want to use E-LEARNING CONTENT from different sources, you need SCORM.
