I’d like to offer praise to a fellow student with one of their recent assignments in the IPT 525 class I am taking.
Sandra Stocks wrote an excellent paper on the Benefits of a SCORM-Conformant E-learning Strategy and applied it back to the organization she works in. Sandra is part of a retail organization that serves pet owners with pet nutrition and pet products. To educate staff on the items sold in their retail stores, Sandra is recommending to her employers an E-learning strategy based on SCORM.
What set Sandra’s paper a part from the others was how she illustrated one of the primary benefits of SCORM. That benefit is being able to leverage third-party SCORM-Conformant content to be delivered on a SCORM-Conformant LMS. For Sandra’s employer this saves time and money in development costs. Instead of them building their own learning content to educate staff on products and services, vendors of the products they sell offer SCORM-Conformant learning content that they can leverage from and deliver on their own LMS. An added benefit is they can also guarantee the quality of the content because it comes direct from the vendor.
This was just one of many benefits discussed by Sandra in her paper. As someone who worked in a retail environment at one time designing and developing training, I was able to clearly see how her proposed strategy would work.
Thank you, Sandra. Good work!
