The SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Documentation Suite is a ZIP file that contains all the SCORM components: the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Overview, SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Content Aggregation Model (CAM) book, SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Run-Time Environment (RTE) book and the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Sequencing and Navigation (SN) book. SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Overview
The SCORM Overview book provides an overview of the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition documentation suite, the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Conformance Test Suite and SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Sample Run-Time Environment. It is written at an intentionally high level. The technical details of SCORM can be found in three stand-alone documents, or books that cover the Content Aggregation Model (CAM), the Run-Time Environment (RTE) and Sequencing and Navigation (SN). SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Content Aggregation Model (CAM) Version 1.0
The SCORM Content Aggregation Model (CAM) book describes components used in a learning experience, how to package those components for exchange from system to system, how to describe those components to enable search and discovery, and how to define the sequencing rules for the components. SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Run-Time Environment (RTE) Version 1.0
The SCORM RTE book describes the Learning Management System (LMS) requirements for managing the run-time environment (i.e., content launch process, communication between content and LMSs and standardized data model elements used for passing information about the learner). The RTE covers the requirements of SCOs and their use of the API and the SCORM Run-Time Environment Data Model. SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Sequencing and Navigation (SN) Version 1.0
The SCORM SN book describes how SCORM conformant content may be sequenced through a set of learner-initiated or system-initiated navigation events. The branching and flow of that content may be described by a predefined set of activities, typically defined at design time. The SCORM SN book also describes how a SCORM conformant LMS interprets the sequencing rules expressed by a content developer along with the set of learner-initiated or system-initiated navigation events and their effects on the run-time environment.
