SDI practitioner lens
From definition to decision
SCORM provides a dependable packaging and launch contract between courseware and an LMS. It is valuable for portability and conventional completion data, but its technical success says nothing by itself about relevance, accessibility, or transfer.
01 / Decision it should inform
Choose the SCORM version and reporting design around the target LMS, required learner states, bookmarking behavior, assessment evidence, and support obligations.
02 / What to watch for
A package can launch, score, and complete perfectly while the experience remains unusable or measures recall instead of workplace performance.
