Why SCORM
Designing for SCORM
SCORM Came About Because. . .
. . .compared to the grand scheme of things,
online learning is relatively new and therefore
not standardized. As a result

• A new program has to be purchased or downloaded
  for just about every new course.
• Courses have to be rebuilt for every new class or
  course of study.
• Learning content did not necessarily work
  consistently in multiple environments.
• Learning content built for delivery on compact
  disk could not be deployed on the internet and
  vice versa.
• Courses built on one learning management system
  would not work on other LMSs nor on upgrades
  within the same LMS.
