Industry Standards & Compliancy Organisations

The global internet community is developing a set of interoperability standards that we can all adhere to in order that knowledge in a digital/html format can be easily exchanged around the world.

SCORM, of which several revisions are forthcoming, is designed to enable the interoperability of Web-based learning content so that it may be used and reused across multiple environments and products.

KEY POINT      The aim of compliancy is to create Reusable Learning Objects (RLO) similar to the concept of LEGO
