SCORM has always been confused by many as a standard – but really it’s not. Content is SCORM conformant rather than SCORM compliant. We’ve have know this for a while. SCORM should be a “standard” and it should directly impact the future of mobile learning and mobile content. Integrated….
The mobile aspect of learning content and the technologies associated to distribute the mobile content is complex if the goal is to support a wide array of mobile devices, network carriers, content formats such as text, images, video, feed back , polling, quzzing and reporting. Additionally, the issue is online or off line content or synced to do both.
SCORM is based on a few simple ideas that make the learning components reusable and searchable within the LCMS/LMS. The aggregation of learning components into the corporate and education LMCS is big business and today the companies that own brand recognition and marketshare are meneouvering the strategic plans for mobile integration.
The question I bring is this – HOW IS SCORM GOING TO VIEW BILLIONS of MOBILE PAGES SITTING IN THE CLOUD?
User generated content – teacher generated content – student generated content will be the new RLO – socially driven by the user feedback and social rating systems of quality , relevance and so on….so how will SCORM help with this issue?
Let’s call this new discussion – mobiSCORM – nor mobiSCORN!!!
