“Sharable Content Object “ indicates that SCORM is all about creating units of
online training material that can be shared across the system.
“Reference Model” indicates that SCORM is not actually written from the ground
up Instead ADL referred the existing standards of industry

You can integrate with SCORM player Via SCORM Cloud API. It will record the

I wasn’t able to find any open source SCORM engine/player to integrate in LMS
to launch the course. [If you please share]
