Hello DITA learning SC -
I'm going back to the source on SCORM
- the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) web site, at - http://www.adlnet.gov.
The SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Documentation
Suite public draft contains a set of PDFs, including a relatively brief
SCORM_2004_Overview.pdf.
This zip download is available from
the ADL web site here - http://www.adlnet.gov/downloads/files/290.cfm.
The content in the Overview clocks in
at a mere 19 PDF pages and provides a brief history of the roots of SCORM,
infor about the basic approach and "ilities," and a very good
overview of the basics of a SCORM LMS and its potential components.
Basically, the SCORM specification describes
the following:
- a Content Aggregation Model (CAM),
which specifies the assembling, labeling, and packaging of learning content
for SCORM.
- a Run-Time Environment (RTE), which
specifies the API and other methods used to launch content, communicate,
track, and transfer learning data to and from the LMS.
- Sequencing and Navigation (SN), which
describes sequencing and navigation characteristics, including Activity
Tree, Learning Activitiies, and how to assemble content in the manifest
to support them.
Well worth a read.
John
