Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)

Definition:The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative introduced the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standard, which is intended for multimedia presentations in distance learning applications.

Distance Learning is an important application of multimedia technology. Usually, multimedia presentations contain instructional materials that can be delivered on the Internet and presented on Web browsers. In order to reuse materials and to deliver presentations on different platforms, standards are needed. The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative (http://www.adlnet.org/) first proposed the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standard in 2000.
