What is a SCORM-compliant learning management system?
A SCORM-compliant learning management system (LMS) is a system that: • Can accept any SCORM compliant content as described above and make it available to users of the LMS. SCORM does not specify how this is done, but conformance requires that a documented process exist to do it. Some LMS, like the Aspen Learning Management Server, automate the process of “publishing” the content to make it available to the learners. Others require manual copying of files and possibly the manual tweaking of database tables. • Deliver the content to a learner, by providing a runtime environment within which it launches the content. The content is always launched in a web browser window. The runtime environment must meet certain technical requirements defined by the SCORM specification and conformance requiremens document. The SCORM 1.2 specification does not require that the LMS user interface behave in any particular way, except for the fact that the user must be able to choose and launch any SCO design
