What is SCORM?
SCORM is a set of technical standards that lets e learning content work across different learning management systems and report progress in a consistent way. It is the reason a course built once can run on many platforms without being rebuilt.
Think of it as a common language. A SCORM compliant course tells any compliant LMS who started it, how far they got, and whether they passed, all in a format every system understands.
Without a standard like this, every course would have to be custom built for every platform. SCORM is what makes e learning content portable.
Sthenos builds standards aware learning systems, like the digital learning platform built for a global education network, so content travels cleanly between tools.
Related terms: learning management system (LMS), virtual classroom.
Do I need SCORM for online courses?
If your content needs to run on more than one platform or report into an LMS, a standard like SCORM saves you from rebuilding it each time.
