Choosing the right export settings shouldn't be a headache. Understand the standards and ensure your content works everywhere.
SCORM is the backbone of the e-learning industry. But with multiple versions and technical nuances, choosing the right export settings can be a headache.
What is SCORM?
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards that tells e-learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) how to talk to each other. It's what allows your LMS to track if a learner passed a quiz or how far they got in a lesson.
SCORM 1.2
The most widely supported version. Reliable, simple, but has strict limits on suspend data.
SCORM 2004
The modern standard. Supports complex sequencing and holds significantly more data.
