SCORM Content Package Application Profiles
SCORM Content Packages adhere strictly to the IMS Content Packaging Specification and also, provide additional requirements and implementation guidance for packaging assets, sharable content objects (SCOs) and representing content organizations in the Manifest. These additional Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) requirements and guidance define the SCORM Content Package Application Profiles.
There are currently two SCORM Content Package Application Profiles, which describe how to package Content Aggregation Model components. Click each application profile to learn more.
- Resource Content Packages
A Resource Content Package is the terminology associated with the type of Content Package used for bundling a set of learning resources with no defined organization or content structure. These learning resources may or may not have relationships between each other. Because Resource Content Packages do not have a defined organization for their content, they are not meant to be delivered to a learner through a delivery system like an LMS.
- Content Aggregation Content Packages
A Content Aggregation Content Package is the terminology associated with the type of Content Package used for bundling a set of learning resources, their intended structure and sequencing requirements. The Content Aggregation Content Package is the type of Content Package that is used by delivery systems, like an LMS, to delivery content to a learner. These types of packages have a prescribed structure and sequencing rules for delivery systems to interpret and deliver to the learner.
