Found this blog entry to be relevant for those who are concerned about SCORM compliance…and Moodle.

• Moodle is now certified SCORM 1.2 compliant | E-Learning Curve Blog
  • Moodle is now certified SCORM 1.2 compliant
  • It was just announced on Moodle.org that Moodle 1.9.5 is now “100 per cent” SCORM 1.2 compliant to conformance level LMS-RTE3 (Learning Management System – Run-Time Environment 3). If you want to find out more about the SCORM module in Moodle, you can check out Moodle’s SCORM FAQ and the SCORM module forum.
  • SCORM. The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) integrates a set of related technical standards, specifications, and  guidelines designed to meet ADL’s functional requirements–accessibility, interoperability, durability, and reusability (the “ilities”).
  • There are numerous benefits to adopting SCORM, and all are related to ADL’s functional requirements for SCORM.
    1. Accessibility:The ability to locate and access instructional components from multiple locations and deliver them to other locations. For example, a content author can search the ADL Registry and identify relevant content that has already been developed by another organization and deploy that content on any LMS that complies with the same version of SCORM to learners anywhere in the world.
    2. Interoperability: The ability to take instructional components developed in one system and use them in another system. For example, content packaged for delivery in one SCORM-compliant LMS could be loaded into another LMS that complies with the same version of SCORM for delivery to learners.
    3. Durability: The ability to withstand technology evolution and/or changes without costly redesign, reconfiguration, or recoding. For example, upgrading to a new computer operating system should have no impact on the delivery of content to learners.
    4. Reusability: The flexibility to incorporate instructional components in multiple applications and contexts. For example, e-learning content designed for one organization can be redeployed, rearranged, repurposed, or rewritten by other organizations that have similar learning needs.
