SCORM and XML Content The “It’s déjà vu all over again” Perspective

This article explores the evolution of SCORM and XML content processing systems, highlighting the shift from a narrow focus on specific problems to a fully plug-and-play approach. It discusses the increasing complexity of SCORM and the need to address pedagogical/ui "holes," while emphasizing the importance of coordinated action to prevent collapse.

  1. SCORM and XML ContentThe “It’s déjà vu all over again” Perspective Tyde Richards

  2. The CMI-SCORM Core Processing System import/export • Document • structure • metadata • resources • Content • data model • transport

  3. Cars, Tail-fins, Corvairs, and Air Bags

  4. Expectations then and now • Then - CMI • Narrow focus on specific problem • Limit scope to “low hanging fruit” • No assumption of use beyond original scope • Not plug-and-play • Now - SCORM • Fully plug-and-play • UI and pedagogical consistency • Key integrative technology in a much bigger technical picture • XML figures prominently in this expanded agenda

  5. A Context of Increasing Complexity • SCORM itself is complex • Specification and Standards Development • Evolution/increase of Web technologies • Merging of learning with other technologies • Need to address pedagogical/ui “holes” • Global and diverse communities of practice

  6. Complexity and Collapse Examples from The Collapse of Complex Societies Joseph A. Tainter 1988

  7. A System with Technology and People Like the earth and the sun, a question ofwhat revolves around what? Holy Grail Technology Quest Coordinated Action

  8. Coordinated Action versus Holy Grail Technology A cautionary tail for XML adoption The moral: coordinate or collapse gap 3 crop new 2 crop old
