Standards

All of the products and services offered by Educate-Global, including the LMS, Third Party and Custom coursework, meet the IMS and SCORM standards for e-learning. This means that resources from around the world are interoperable which creates a dynamic training resource for your organization.

Standards, or the lack of standards, is one of the most complicated aspects of e-learning today. Since e-learning is new, starting around 1996, industry standards have been developing in parallel with the industry. The primary industry standard is known as "IMS-SCORM". SCORM stands for Shareable Content Object Reference Model and was developed by the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) group which was created by the US Government to oversee the standardization of e-learning. IMS stands for Instructional Management Systems, a global consortium of over 300 companies and universities such as Stanford, MIT, University of Barcelona, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Cisco and Educate-Global.
