Overview

SCORM stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. It's a set of technical standards that defines how to create and share online learning. AICC is another, similar file type that is treated largely the same way by learning management systems. SCORM/AICC Learning Objects are a great way to contain videos, PowerPoint files, quizzes, and other interactive content. Through your learning platform, you can make this learning available to Users or Assign them as formal trainings.
