SCORM – The E-learning Software Vernacular!
No matter the authoring
tool you use to create
your course content, it’ll
play seamlessly on the
SCORM compliant LMS
from Paradiso.
SCORM
www.paradisosolutions.com
‘S’ stands for ‘sharable’, which implies that the information can be accessed
easily by different people over different platforms.
‘CO’ stands for ‘content object’, that speaks about the presence of different
courses and documents within the e-learning platform.
Lastly, ‘RM’ is ‘reference model’ that refers to the information that the
developers require to ensure that the courses and the systems on which it is
run use the same format.
SCORM stands for…
www.paradisosolutions.com
SCORM is nothing but a set of standards that make the two, i.e. the
courses and the course carrier LMS, compatible with each other.
It is more or less the same way a bulb and a socket are compatible,
i.e. they fit the same standards.
You’ve to imagine the LMS as a socket, in which, if the course
contents need to be fit in, it should be compatible.
www.paradisosolutions.com
4 different SCORM versions have seen the light of the day. It started with
SCORM 1.0 and 1.1 that were released in 2000/2001.
All the succeeding features differed from each other in the number of
features provided.
The 1.2 version of SCORM is widely used even today and is supported by
most of the LMS platforms.
SCORM 2004 is another majorly used version, which is slowly getting
superseded by Tin Can.
SCORM has come a Long Way!
www.paradisosolutions.com
There are a number of authoring tools available in the market for the
creation of SCORM complaint courses.
These tools are both free and commercial.
The most popular ones include Articulate Presenter, Camtasia Studio,
Adobe Captivate, QuizForce, WordForce, PowerpointForce.
In addition, we have the Paradiso Composer as our in-house SCORM
conformant authoring tool.
SCORM and Authoring Tools
www.paradisosolutions.com
It is ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning - the research group) that handles all the aspects
related to SCORM. They formally test the product, validate it and certify products as being
SCORM compliant.
However, it is not mandated to go through the process via the ADL route only.
The organization also gives a suite of self-tests that when undergone can certify the vendor for
providing SCORM compliant LMS. This eventually helps the LMS vendors prove that their
products are SCORM compliant.
The development tools and the developers cannot be certified, however, they can produce
SCORM compliant products.
Verifying if a Platform is SCORM Compliant
www.paradisosolutions.com
Unlike SCORM’s mere Yes/No approach, Tin Can API collects ‘statements’ based on the
learning drift of the learner. These ‘statements’ are then sent to a learning record store, or
LRS.
It is majorly these statements that play an important role in providing an insight into the
learner’s learning curve outside his course. These statements also serve as markers that the
course makers can use for designing and upgrading of courses.
With Tin Can API, compliance of the course ware to SCORM will no longer be a make or
break scenario in the e-learning domain.
However, SCORM is the base on which Tin Can is built, even if it becomes redundant,
SCORM can never be out of the picture!
SCORM to Tin Can API
Understanding the Difference!
www.paradisosolutions.com
Besides imparting learning, you also want to track the progress and performance of
the learners. And this is possible via SCORM.
A SCORM compliant LMS will allow the admins/managers to check if any of the
learners are yet to complete their training, and how many of them already have.
SCORM brings in inter-operatibility. No matter the course authoring tool you use,
you can simply dump all the information on the LMS.
Also, content re-usability is made possible.
You still need SCORM!

All this and more, when your
LMS becomes SCORM
compliant!
