Exploring SCORM and the national flexible learning toolboxes

This paper discusses a project which used investigated use of the SCORM model within the design and development process of high quality learning materials to explore its capability for supporting the reusability and interoperability of digital resources within the Australian VET sector. The paper describes SCORM and its potential advantages and discusses its retrospective implementation to the redevelopment of learning materials in the National Flexible Toolbox Project. The paper describes the process of applying SCORM to the development of an inquiry based set of learning resources and discusses implications for the design of reusable quality elearning resources and learning objects using the SCORM model.
