What are the standards for course content and LMS, and why are standards important when developing a course?
SCORM and AICC are the major standards for course content. SCORM is the most practised standard. Standards such as SCORM and AICC are important because they help to ensure that courses can be integrated successfully with the LMS and communicate student results. They are the common ground on which the course and LMS meet to work together successfully. Standards make compliant courses portable from one compliant LMS to another.
