Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Just another of the list of SCORM compliant products, prompting an observation and a wry comment. The observation is, as Scott Leslie observes, "a concise (as concise as you are going to get from the American military) description of the various SCORM certification levels and what they actually mean." The wry comment is this: so this product converts office documents into SCORM compliant learning objects. Which means that (at least some) SCORM compliant learning objects are, essentially, office documents. And so I ask, is this what we thought we were up to when we started working with learning objects? And what was the point, when we already had software that could read office documents? Oh, I know, interoperability and all that. But really: just how interoperable does a Word document have to be? No, I always thought it was about something more than that.
