What Is SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)?

SCORM is a set of technical standards that ensures eLearning content works across different LMS platforms with consistent tracking and reporting.

Last Updated: March 2026

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is the most widely adopted eLearning interoperability standard. It defines how online learning content communicates with an LMS — tracking completion, scores, time spent, and bookmarks. SCORM-compliant content can be uploaded to any SCORM-compliant LMS and work without modification. The two main versions are SCORM 1.2 (simpler, widely supported) and SCORM 2004 (more advanced sequencing and navigation). Arythmatic supports both SCORM versions natively.
