SCORM stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. It was created to fix a couple basic flaws were found in LMS and web based learning systems. The first flaw was that many web-based programs do not really provide a great environment or system for learning. They are limited in what they can accomplish and they depth of instruction that they can achieve. The second is after content was designed it was generally not transferable between systems or even sometimes when systems were updated. SCORM allows content that has been designed as SCORM compatible to be used in a wide variety of different systems.
It is always the 2nd generation of a product, tool or system that is better than the original, simply because the first design is being tested by the users. As complaints and compliments are echoed throughout the first year of existence, time will allow for a system to be create that should be a lot better. In this case, SCORM was create to replace LMS. We can see this type of activity happening all across the nation in many different products.
