Create your first Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)

Introduction

As an instructor, have you ever wanted to create a slide presentation that contains interactive options such as multiple-choice questions, video, or true-false questions on your current LMS or website? Do you want to use the same slide project in other LMS platforms? Perhaps, the solution to these questions is SCORM.

Shareable Content Object Reference Model or SCORM is a set of standards and specifications, and its primary goals are interoperability, reusability, and durability of content in Learning Management Systems. Most current LMSs are SCORM compliant. For instance, Blackboard supports SCORM 2004 version while Moodle supports SCORM 1.2 version.
