SCORM®
SCORM is a collection of specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide
a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility
and reusability of Web-based learning content.

CORDRA™
Content Object Repository Discovery and Registration Architecture (CORDRA)
is an open, standards-based model for how to design and implement software systems
for the purposes of discovery, sharing and reuse of learning content through the
establishment of interoperable federations of learning content repositories.

Performance
Aiding
Performance Aiding (also called Performance Support) is one of the approaches being
used to support the transformation. Improved human user-centered design of equipment
and even the replacement the human role through automation as well as new technology
for job performance are examples of the transformational tools that are under investigation
to bridge gap between training, skills and performance.

Repositories
Repository systems provide key infrastructure for the development, storage, management,
discovery and delivery of all types of electronic content. Repositories must provide
a basic set of functions in order to provide access to learning objects and other
assets in a secure environment.

Gaming
Games for distributed learning are complex systems with three major components:
1. Activities with formal rules in which players engage in artificial conflict with
variable and quantifiable outcomes and both game play and learning objectives
2. A narrative which provides cues, context and relevance for the activities
and 3. A simulation which represents the learning space necessary to support
the activities and narrative.

Simulations
A simulation is a representation of a system presented over time.
Simulations have advantages over real operational systems in training, including:
elimination of catastrophic consequences of error; reduction of physical danger;
cost containment; elimination of non-salient attributes; "re-play" possibilities;
compression or expansion of time; iterative manipulation of variables for evolving
design and data collection.

Intelligent Tutoring
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are computer software
systems that seek to mimic the methods and dialog of natural human tutors, to generate
instructional interactions in real time and on demand--as required by individual
students. Implementations of ITSs incorporate computational mechanisms and knowledge
representations in the fields of artificial intelligence, computational linguistics,
and cognitive science.
