SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards for e-learning software that guides programmers in creating compatible content for different LMS (Learning Management Systems). It allows seamless uploading of e-learning materials created with tools like Captivate or Articulate into SCORM-compliant systems. SCORM 1.2, the most widely used version, simplifies the upload process, although it's less feature-rich compared to SCORM 2004.
