Besides being the industry standard for eLearning content, SCORM makes it possible for eLearning content to—as we said—play well with others. Think of it this way: an eLearning module is like a smartphone app; smartphone apps have to be compatible with every make and model of phones, tablets, iWatches, etc.—and think about how many different manufacturers and models there are out there! Likewise, eLearning content has to be compatible with a plethora of Learning Management Systems, including Open Source systems, Cloud systems, and proprietary systems.
