The Obvious

At its most basic, the SCORM Cloud allows Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and other online training systems to deliver SCORM training without having to understand SCORM or host the content.

  • SCORM Test Track. We’ve already ported SCORM Test Track to the SCORM Cloud, and it’s held up well.
  • Moodle.  OK, we’ve already done this one.  But you could easily embed the SCORM Cloud in each of the open source LMSs, thereby getting fantastic SCORM support in these wonderful community applications.  Many government and corporate RFPs require SCORM 2004 support that is not available in these open source LMSs. The SCORM Cloud provides a solution for these customers.
  • And why just Moodle?  Drupal?  Sakai?  Dokeos?  Ilias?  We’d love to see open source connectors to the SCORM Cloud available for any system where people might like to take online learning.  Even those with some SCORM support could benefit from ours, which leads the industry.
  • Your LMS.  If you’re frustrated by SCORM (and many of you are), your LMS is probably at least partly at fault.  Most LMS deployments would be a great fit with the SCORM Cloud.  You can expect that quality of your SCORM support to go up, but you can also offset the cost of the SCORM Cloud with the reduced bandwidth burden (as the Cloud hosts all the content).  The benefits of the SCORM Cloud for this sort of a customer are very similar to those found with the SCORM Engine.
The Extravagant

What’s exciting about the SCORM Cloud is that it allows you to deliver SCORM training anywhere.  As a developer, you can deliver the SCORM training to your users in the systems where they work, live, and play.

  • A Google Calendar based assignment system.  I’m told that the folks at Google assign training internally via their Calendar application.  Why not extend that broadly to your organization?
  • An email based LMS?  You could extend the concepts found in the demonstration application to become something production worthy.
  • Is your website user aware?  Do you want those users to take some SCORM content?
  • Wordpress tracks users… and content… and has a widget system for informing users.
  • A Facebook application.  What if you built it in such a way that you could assign learning to members of your social network?  This could easily be deployed as a widget in countless social networks.
  • What else?  Your ideas, I promise, are better than ours!
