Welcome to my Blog. I and looking forward into bringing all my readers to the inner sanctum and the endless abyss of the SCORM. The SCORM will draw you in and will not let you out. SCORM is uncharted territory for most but the journey is filled with technological encoding adventures that will make the MATRIX movies look like children books written by Marry Poppins. SCORM can be dark, cold and lonely causing permanent physical and psychological damage. But hay…we will start simple with spelling out the acronym and a brief description of what is SCORM.
SCORM stands for Shareable Content Object Reference Model. This reference model is the technical standard that is applied to eLearning software so to communicate with Learning Management Systems (LMSs).
What does this mean to a instructional designer? SCORM is a technical standard of all eLearning software must have so it can be shared over multiple LMSs. An instructional designer must keep this in mind when meeting with Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) designers to convert instruction to digital media.
Comments are welcome to continue the endless physical and psychological screams of SCORM.Reference:

Andy,
ReplyDeleteI am excited to learn about SCORM and I love the ways you connected the topic to instructional design and interactive multimedia design, which instructional designers may need to know. If you could provide examples of SCORM and instructional design or your views on the SCORM, it will provide multiple ways of learning opportunities for all of us. Thank you.
Andy,
ReplyDeleteThis is the other Andy. I am interested in your Blog, mainly to learn something new. Because I have no idea what SCORM is! As an outsider to this topic, I see your Blog site through un-augmented or biased eyes. I see a very appealing and eye catching lay out with cryptic description which invokes curiosity. This will be fun to follow and learn.

Andy,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic, last year I worked on a project to create two military initial entry courses to Interactive Multimedia Instruction and upgrade other courses that had older outdated instruction. This was a multi-million dollar project, my only regret is that I was in the middle of my retirement process so I had to be read out of the project. I will say the initial phases of the project, where the most difficult. It was difficult because everything that you wanted the contracting company to do have do be in the project work statement (PWS) and that was very tedious. Lots of late night, because we had to make the deadlines to get the money approved. Working with the digital designers to give them a full understanding of what you wanted the multimedia to do was extremely interesting and enlightening. I never know it took so much to create one of those lessons digitally.
Looking forward to hearing more of SCORM!

Andy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight on your blog. I am interested to learn about SCORM. I must admit this is the first-time hearing about this technology in these terms. I can absolutely see how this will play into the NCOLCO&E and will be vital as we move forward as senior leaders. It is vital we continue to leverage platforms like Docebo, LearnUpon, Tovuti, and Northpass to help with this technology in e learning. Without this technology there would be no way to read, run, and report the course content. As the Army figures out the way ahead with the NCOES process after this pandemic, we will probably rely on this technology more than we ever could have imagined a year ago. I look forward to following this blog and learning some more about this vital technology.
