Adhering to specifications enables you to share your online content across learning platforms without making significant changes. OLM supports the following specifications for importing and exporting content and tests:
IMS
Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)
AICC (Import only)
IMS is a consortium of learning institutions and vendors that formulates standards for learning servers, learning content, and the integration of these capabilities. IMS develops and promotes open specifications for:
Using and distributing online content
Tracking learner progress
Reporting learner performance
Sharing learner information between learning management systems
In OLM, you can import and export learning objects and tests using the IMS specification. For more information on IMS, see the IMS Web site at: www.imsproject.org
The SCORM specification was developed by the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) group. ADL collaborates with governments, academia, and the industry to promote effective online learning.
SCORM is a set of interrelated specifications, designed to enable interoperability among content providers. SCORM combines features from other specifications such as IMS and AICC to enable the reuse of online learning content across multiple environments and products. OLM enables you to import and export learning objects as well as the physical content files using SCORM. For more information about SCORM, see the SCORM Web site at: www.adlnet.org
AICC is an international group of technology-based training professionals who create guidelines related to computer-based training (CBT) for the aviation industry. Because these guidelines apply to any CBT, they are also used by other industries for managing their learning requirements. OLM supports importing content using AICC specification but does not support exporting of AICC content. More details about AICC are available from their Web site: www.aicc.org
