What is it?
The SCORM module enables course editors to upload any SCORM or AICC package to a Moodle course.
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a collection of specifications that enable interoperability, accessibility and reusability of web-based learning content. This is usually in the form of content (text, images, video, audio, animations) and quiz questions that test students' knowledge of the learning materials. The grades are then available within the Moodle gradebook.
SCORM content can be delivered to learners via any SCORM-compliant virtual learning environments (VLE) like Moodle.
AICC (Aviation Industry CBT Committee) was a standard for delviery learning objects to VLEs like Moodle, that is no longer being actively developed or maintained, so therefore SCORM and other standards like xAPI will likely be used in its place for new learning object development.
Why use it?
If you have purchased or obtained learning objects from an external organisation you may have been provided with a SCORM package, in the form of a zip file. You can then deliver this learning package to your students via Moodle by uploading this package to your Moodle course.
Who can use it?
Course editors, such as tutors and course administrators can upload a SCORM or AICC package.
Students can complete the learning activity.
