1.
In 1993 the AICC developed the
first runtime interoperability
specification for Learning
Management Systems

2.
In 2000, the ADL released SCORM
version 1.0 based largely on the
AICC specification

3.
Since the implementation, both
SCORM and the CMI specs
have allowed for excellent
courseware tracking capabilities

4.
Courseware, however, has changed
over the past 18 years...

5.
How can we adapt the SCORM
model to interface with new
courseware models such as
gaming?...

6.
Games are engaging
and becoming more
prominent as a
learning tool
(and they’re fun!).

7.
Games can be cost
effective and easy to
implement in
curriculum

8.
Games provide a wide
range of interactions
and can be customized
to users

9.
Captured game data
can provide rich, deep
metrics for analysis

10.
Level Clear!!

Activating CMI 5!!!

42.
CMI-5 is the next generation
of Content-to-LMS
interoperability specifications.
It will provide content runtime
data tracking and a means to
transfer course lists.

43.
CMI-5 is intended to
replace existing AICC
and SCORM
specifications

44.
“Core” set of minimum
pre-defined data
elements for content
tracking

45.
Ability for the
content to define
what data to
be collected
