Announcer: The e-Learning Lingo Podcast.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Hello, this is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director here at SyberWorks. Welcome to the 96th episode of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast series. Last week, Dave Powell talked about “peer-to-peer networks.” This week, Dave defines “SCORM.” So I ask you, do you know your e-learning lingo?

Mary Kay: Hi, Dave. So tell us about SCORM?
Dave Powell: SCORM is an acronym for sharable content object reference model. This is a set of specifications and standards used in web-based e-learning.
Mary Kay: OK Dave, so how does it work exactly?
Dave: When followed the specification results in small reusable learning objects for online delivery. SCORM compliant course ware elements are easily merged with other compliant elements to produce a highly modular repository of training materials.
Mary Kay: Thanks, Dave. Have a great afternoon.
Dave: You too, talk with you soon!
Mary Kay: This is Mary Kay Lofurno, Marketing Director at SyberWorks. Thanks for listening to episode 96 of the e-Learning Lingo Podcast. This week, Dave Powell talked about SCORM. The episode 96 podcast audio and transcript will be posted on the e-Learning Lingo Podcast blog.
