There are three parts to SCORM 2004: the Run-Time Environment, the Content Aggregation Model and the Sequencing and Navigation specification. SCORM was created in cooperation among government, academia and industry, and it consolidates the work of AICC, IMS, ARIADNE and IEEE’s LTSC into one unified reference model. The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) allows learning content from any vendor to play in any SCORM-conformant Learning Management System (LMS).
