SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards for e-learning software products. Originally developed by the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, SCORM defines how online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) communicate with each other, enabling interoperability between authoring tools, content packages, and LMS platforms. Key versions include SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, with xAPI (Tin Can) as a modern successor.
