Initial comments[edit]

The following could perhaps be turned into an encyclopedia article. PR propaganda has no place in Wikipedia. --LMS

What is the SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)?

- A reference model that defines a Web-based learning "content model"
- A set of interrelated technical specifications designed to meet the Department of Defense's high level "-ilities"
- A process to knit together disparate groups and interests
- A bridge from general emerging technologies to commercial implementations
- An evolving document to collect all the "bits and pieces" in one place

I was unable to find any information at all on CNET-NLN on the web - the only place where this term is ever mentioned is in copies of this article. I will therefore delete that column from the table in this page. --134.95.128.187 1 July 2005 12:37 (UTC)

Free SCORM modules[edit]

It would be nice to have some links to free SCORM modules? Is there a repository? Hirzel 17:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Check out these links. I am in the process of pitching Moodle to my college and I came across these: http://www.softchalk.com/pdf/LessonBuilder-Packaging-Moodle.pdf http://www.softchalk.com/lb_examples.html http://home.workforcecolab.org/course/view.php?id=17

Mishmash junk[edit]

I have moved this information off the main page because it is a mismash of junk:

Please reformat it using wiki formatting, and please try to provide some kind of sense to this before returning it to the home page.

Also, please do not link every word of this stuff unless there is a real need for standalone Wikipedia pages to define this stuff.

Deletion of External link Resources[edit]

References[edit]

Some of the external links in this article should be listed as references and linked to the information in the article. See WP:CITE and WP:Footnotes. The external links section is not intended to be used to verify the information in the article -- see WP:External links. This article is currently unsourced, so I'm tagging it for references. --SueHay 15:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to understand how this article can be better sourced. At the same time, I am trying to see what SCORM actually is. I do not understand your statement that "the external links section is not intended to be used to verify the information in the article". This would imply that all knowledge in WP would have to come form WP. But WP is not the source of all knowledge. It has to refer, for verification purposes, to things outside itself. Or do I mis-understand your comment. Also, the WP:External links document says "this guideline concerns external links that are not citations to sources supporting article content." This seems to go against your point in referring to the page. What kinds of references do you think would be good? ADLNet seems to be the main source of information about SCORM. If a creator cannot be a reference for the thing created, who can be? I want to help add better sources to the article, but I am not sure what those would be. Thanks.

I would agree that this article needs more references. I think the point is putting the references as footnotes in the text, not just in the external links section at the end. I'm a Wikipedia newbie but from my point of view, the ADL website would be the most sensible source for anything non-controversial (which is probably everything). Rustici software's website www.scorm.com also has a good introduction to SCORM that could form a source in addition to ADL itself. I'll have a look at adding some references myself if I get time this week.Garemoko (talk) 07:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To do list[edit]

In my opinion, this article could benefit from further information on the following items. I plan to work through this list myself. Please provide feedback if you do not feel any of this is appropriate or any other comments.

Add references to existing article
Links to Wikipedia articles of LMSs that support SCORM (possibly as a separate page depending on length of list)
Links to Wikipedia articles of rapid e-learning tools that support SCORM (possibly as a separate page depending on length of list)
Further details about changes in each new version of SCORM
Brief technical details about implementing SCORM calls (be careful this doesn't turn into a how-to guide)
Project tin-can
SCORM editors list, such as Reload and eXe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.118.51.66 (talk) 10:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Compatible Software Edits[edit]

I am adding a legitimate compatible software package to this part of the page, but my entry is always removed. Why is my entry repeatedly removed? 2601:193:4100:6E10:8C71:FF3A:DFD6:F9E9 (talk) 01:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We are not some sort of catalog where you can list websites that sell the things that the article is about. We'd have to link every supermarket in the world in the Egg article. Drmies (talk) 14:57, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
