I'm looking for SCORM 2004 training for my team. We are looking both for CAM and RTE.

Does anyone have any info on upcoming ELearning events? Is there a public site that keeps track of all of the ELearning events and conferences?

:(
My boss has asked me to find the compliance requirements for each level of SCORM?? I've read pages and pages of literature and find no reference at all to compliance levels. The closest thing I've gotten is the AICC levels. Does anyone know if this is basically the same, or if SCORM even HAS levels of compliance? The feeling I get is that the compliance is based on what type of product you plan to deliver... Help?

Hi Barbara,

Since the current version is at a stable state, SCORM 2004 does't have different levels of certification for the Run-Time Environment as was the case with SCORM 1.2 and AICC. The previous version left several optional aspects to be implemented whereas with SCORM 2004 everything is mandatory. However, there is a difference between a SCORM 2004 conformance terminology. The following was taken from the SCORM 2004 conformance requirements located here:

http://www.adlnet.org/downloads/205.cfm

The terms “compliant,” “conformant” and “certified” are used throughout the ADL
Community in different contexts. ADL avoids using the term “SCORM compliant” in
favor of “SCORM conformant,” even though e-learning experts often use the terms
“SCORM conformant” and “SCORM compliant” interchangeably. The reason for this
distinction is that the term “compliant” means “to meet requirements,” but “conformant”
means “to follow a standard or specification,” such as SCORM. The term “conformant”
should be used when describing a product that follows the SCORM 2004 specifications.
A “SCORM conformant” product is defined as a product that has passed the SCORM
Conformance Test Suite (Self Test), which indicates that the product conforms to the
latest version of SCORM specifications as outlined in the SCORM Conformance
Requirements. Anyone whose products pass the SCORM Conformance Test Suite can
claim to be SCORM conformant.

A “SCORM certified” product has been independently tested by one of the ADL
Certification Testing Centers and upon passing the SCORM Conformance Test Suite,
becomes “ADL certified.” ADL certification assures consumers of distributed learning
content and systems that certified products have successfully implemented SCORM
specifications.

From a technical standpoint, an “ADL certified” product is no different than a “SCORM
conformant” product. The key difference is that “ADL certified” products have been
independently tested not by the LMS vendors or content creators themselves, but by the
independent ADL Certification Testing Centers.

Barbara,

Under SCORM 1.2, LMSs had three levels of comfromance; LMS-RTE1, LMS-RTE2 & LMS-RTE3. Under SCORM 2004 (1.3) these went away. Sharable Content Objects (SCOs) have always had one "level" of conformance because all a SCO needs to do to be conformant is initiate and terminate communications with the LMS. The differences in LMS levels under 1.2 had to do with the number of optional data elements the LMS supported.

SCORM 2004 Training
Hi,

If you visit the ADL Academic co-Lab site, they run "SCORM School" online which will give more than enough information on CAM and RTE. Alternatively a 2 day workshop is being run by them in Florida at the Training 2006 conference and expo.

The link for SCORM School is:

Has anyone have any further information on the status of the SCORM/S100d memorandum of agreement to bring the two standars into alignment?

George,

The Navy recently hosted a meeting to discuss SCORM + S1000D challenges. I believe there is also an upcoming ADL Performance Fest: http://www.adlnet.org/news/articles/350.cfm

Perhaps a C2S member with more info will also respond... I'll see if I can get in touch with my S1000D point of contact to follow up.

Regards,

J Haag

The MOA, signed almost two years ago at the S1000D Clearwater conference, cites a framework for cooperation between ADL, the Aerospace and Defense Industries Association of Europe (ASD) and the S1-based Technical Publications Specification Maintenance Group (TPSMG). The intention of the MOA is not necessarily to align S1000D and SCORM, as if to blend them into one document, but to coordinate activities for an integrated approach to developing and distributing tech and training data. To this date, there has been no discussion about unifying the specifications, nor do I anticipate that happening.

Now two years after the MOA was signed, several projects and prototypes have been launched that have been a direct result of the MOA. At the Joint Technology Lab at ADL Alexandria, Tim tate has launched the "test bed". This is a project that uses various cots products and program data to experiment at creating "use cases". Use cases are data products used for a specific purpose. Some use cases will be games, some hand-helds, some true SCORM courseware and IETMs. The exercise is to determine how well tech data in S1 data modules might be processed in non-traditional ways, including into SCOs.

In other prototype work, I am working on the creation of a "redundancy analysis" model. Redundancy analysis is my way of explaining legacy data conversion or data origination when you attempt to account for reusable data across tech manual configurations and training courses. Current TM conversion processes work on a "one-TM-in, one-electronic-file out model". From an MOA perspective, the conversion must purposefully look for reuse opportunities in program data. The premise is that technical training data can be named, identified and stored in S1000D data modules - without impeding instructional design. I am using AEGIS and LCS data to prove out the models and that the tech data can be literally processed into SCOs.

The second protype project I have going is integrating SCORM processing into NAVSEA's Standard Publishing System. This system supports S1000D processing, and my intention is to make it evolve into a "dual-purpose" environment. This environment will manage and produce all the related tech and training content based in S1000D for a program. It will maximize production and logistics efficiency.

Greetings

Below is an abstract to a white paper posted in Directory/SCORM Resources/SCORM Whitepaper portion of this site. It discusses integrating tech and training content.

****************************************************************************************************
ABSTRACT: The acquisition and management of DoD technical data and its related technical training content are not synchronized. Despite the potential for a significant amount of data reuse between technical data and technical training data, the purchase and development of this related content is not managed by a common standard. The S1000D technical data standard can impose a highly organized acquisition and management process to technical training content, an area normally associated with SCORM. However, SCORM as a reference model does not impose name, identification, and structure standards on training data source files. SCORM does not guide a developer’s choice of content and format. S1000D is a markup specification that brings naming, identification, and structure to content. The standard deliberately guides the user to name, identify, and structure content. Leaving technical data and training data acquisition and management in separate environments will not reveal potential life cycle cost savings and production efficiencies. The DoD technical training community can benefit from the use of S1000D on its source data with improved configuration, greater reuse, and less integration. This paper will discuss the logic for using S1000D to name, identify, and structure DoD technical training content.
*****************************************************************************************************

This paper is the basis of three prototypes that look to create S1000D-based conversion guidelines, look to process S1000D data modules into SCOs, and look to develop a dual-purpose content management system that processes tech and training data into IETMs and SCORM-compliant files.
