SCORM and Cell Phones: What’s the Connection?

Do you have dozens of cell phone chargers lying around your house, tucked in drawers and closets? I do. When I began reading about SCORM, my mind began scanning for an analogy to take this term and make it applicable to every day life.

My Comment:
That is a perfect comparison and explanation. In an article that I came across the writer mention that the functionality of the SCORM concept was often compared to that of a Rubik’s Cube™ (Duncan, 2005) in that the modules could be moved and relocate into different courses or across different types of management systems.
