What is SCORM and Why Does It Matter for E-Learning?

SCORM is a technical standard used in e-learning. It allows online learning content to work within a Learning Management System, often called an LMS.

In simple terms, SCORM-based e-learning courses, uploaded to learning platforms, track what the learner does. This can include whether they have opened the course, completed it, passed an assessment, achieved a score, or spent time working through the learning materials.

A course created in an authoring tool such as Articulate Storyline can be published as a SCORM package and then uploaded into a compatible LMS.
