Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection of standards and specifications for web-based electronic educational technology (also called e-learning).
"[1] SCORM is a specification of the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative from the Office of the United States Secretary of Defense.
SCORM 2004 introduced a complex idea called sequencing, which is a set of rules that specifies the order in which a learner may experience content objects.
SCORM was designed to be web-based and utilizes JavaScript to facilitate communication between the client side content and the run-time environment.
It is based on new standards for API and content object-to-runtime environment communication, with many ambiguities of previous versions resolved.
