SCORM Untethered is a collection of software components which enable SCORM conformant content to be delivered and tracked without an internet connection. These components can be used by themselves, or they can be assembled into larger applications to support a wide variety of use cases related to disconnected SCORM delivery.

To use the current buzzword, the SCORM Untethered components are “mashed up” to create a customized application. These components enable content to be delivered from any computer and to have the results of that training synchronized with a Learning Management System.

SCORM Untethered is built upon Rustici Software's SCORM Engine and contains the following high level components:

• Distributed Web Application Framework (DWAF) - A small web server that allows web pages (including ASP.NET pages) to run on any computer with minimal overhead and no installation.  [More]
• "Save as HTML" Converter - A component that will enable any SCORM conformant course to run without a SCORM Player. The output from this converter is pure HTML that includes an embedded SCORM player and sequencer as well as the input course.  [More]
• Server-side Synchronizer - This component will synchronize training data from a server with tracking data collected offline. Several different synchronization modes are supported  [More]
• Offline Player - An application that will deliver one or more SCORM courses to one or more learners offline and track the results.  [More]
• Client-side Synchronizer - This component runs alongside the offline player and communicates with the server-side synchronizer to save tracking data collected offline.  [More]
• Untethered Bundler - A component which will create a self-contained bundle to deliver a course offline. This bundle contains the DWAF, one or more SCORM courses, information about one or more learners (including their progress on the contained courses) the offline player and a client-side synchronizer. This bundle can be run with or without an installer and will track learners' progress through any courses they attempt. The bundle will also synchronize the learners' progress and results with a Learning Management System running the server-side synchronizer.  [More]
