What standards should an LMS meet?
The LMS should meet emerging interoperability standards that define the structure of Web-based learning content and how it interacts with the LMS. The standards are known by their acronyms and include AICC (Aviation Industry CBT Committee), IMS (Instructional Management Systems), and ADL SCORM (Advanced Distributed Learning Sharable Content Object Reference Model). An LMS that is “standards compliant” can serve up and play courses that are also compliant. Having a standards compliant LMS means that “plug and play” courses will be available from multiple vendors. This provides the greatest flexibility and opportunity to select the appropriate courses for your organization’s training program.
