As a foundation for accomplishing those goals, ADL’s Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) aims to foster the creation of reusable learning content as "instructional objects” within a common technical framework for computer-based and Web-based learning. SCORM describes that technical framework by providing a harmonized set of guidelines, specifications and standards based on the work of several distinct e-learning specifications and standards bodies. These organizations continue to work with ADL, developing and refining their own e-learning specifications and standards, and helping to build and improve SCORM.

This document provides an overview of the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition documentation suite, the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition Conformance Test Suite and SCORM 2004 3^rd Edition Sample Run-Time Environment. It is written at an intentionally high level. The technical details of SCORM can be found in three stand-alone documents, or books that cover the Content Aggregation Model (CAM), the Run-Time Environment (RTE) and Sequencing and Navigation (SN).
