The business case for SCORM
The business case for SCORM can besummarized in one picture. Before SCORM,integrating content with a delivery platform for e-Learning or training used to take days, weeks, orsometimes months unless the content was builtspecifically for that platform. Often the costs ofmodifying the content or building special adapters,along with the time to deployment, were simplyprohibitive.
Some advantages of SCORM are:
 
Publish once, play everywhere
.
 
Content can last longer because it is easier to justify ongoing compatibility withstandard content.
 
More places to play the content, and longer life for the content contribute tobetter returns on investment. This mean that publishers can afford to producebetter content.
 
The same standard supports content that is very simple and inexpensive toproduce, as well as content with very high production value.
 
SCORM specifies a minimum set of metadata that makes it practical to buildcatalogs of content, regardless of where the content comes from.
 
Content can be purchased or obtained from the most appropriate source underthe most appropriate licensing arrangements, without being tied to a singlecontent provider or authoring tool.
 
You can mix and match content from different sources, without worrying abouttechnical incompatibilities. Depending on your audience and policies, you may beable to overlook the differences in graphic design. This is not likely to be aproblem for younger people raised on MTV and information gathering throughsurfing wildly different and sometimes baffling web sites.
 
If things go sour and you have to change vendors, you can take your content withyou.
 
Obsolete content can be archived in a standard, well documented format.All of the above decreases your cost and time to deploy an e-learning solution.
