SCORM: Why Now?

2017-09-14T07:53:04-05:00

Considering that SCORM has existed for a number of years, why is it only now becoming a hot topic in the world of continuing education (CE)? Again, if we look to the history of both SCORM and CE the answers become clearer. The last blog explored how SCORM was developed out of the training needs of various Federal agencies. Originally the content for this training was text-based, which meant that as the online version of the training was developed, the aim was to translate a textbook into an online format. Translating a textbook into an online format is what led to [...]

SCORM: An Acronym Demystified

2017-09-14T07:53:05-05:00

One of the hot topics in on-line continuing education these days is SCORM. In fact, the term is being so commonly used that it runs the risk of becoming just another acronym tossed around without true comprehension of its meaning. So now is a good time to focus on SCORM, understand what it means to the field of on-line continuing education, and why everyone is so excited by it. SCORM stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model” and is a set of technical standards that define how learning content is made for on-line consumption. The value in having a standard means [...]

2016-04-08T20:58:40-05:00

Have you ever wondered what your learners are looking for in their continuing education (CE) content? Well, now you have the chance to hear one learner’s perspective. We sat down with Ryan Green, our InReach Controller, to find out first-hand what he looks for in CE. Ryan: “As an accountant in the state of Texas, I have to take 40 hours of CPE each year. Naturally, I try to find courses that directly relate to my day-to-day responsibilities and meet my CPE requirements. I’ve been a practicing accountant for 7 years, so I’ve taken a lot of CPE in my time. [...]

Build vs Buy – Strategic Planning and Product Roadmaps

2017-09-14T07:53:05-05:00

As I wrap up this series on Build vs Buy, there is one more topic to explore, strategic planning. It goes without saying that if you are thinking of building an online continuing education management system (CEMS), you are already convinced of the member benefits and are committed to providing the best user experience. Part of that commitment to the best learner experience involves looking ahead and identifying the changes and trends in the industry that you need to consider incorporating in your CEMS. For instance, currently SCORM-compliant educational content and the ability to serve content on mobile devices are two [...]

Build vs Buy – Maintaining Compliance

2017-09-14T07:53:05-05:00

As we’ve mentioned in the previous blog, the world of Continuing Education (CE) is filled with deadlines, many of which surround certification and whether a professional is in compliance with those deadlines. For most in the CE world, this is as far as maintaining compliance goes, but if you are going to build your own online continuing education management system (CEMS), you have to consider all the other myriad ways the concept of compliance can impact the way you build your CEMS. First there is what we just talked about, ensuring your learners can maintain their CE compliance. Most people think, [...]

Build vs Buy – WYS Is Not WYG

2017-09-14T07:53:05-05:00

We have a term What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) which means that as you create something, what you see on-screen accurately reflects the end result. However, for a custom built online continuing education management system (CEMS), nothing could be further from the truth. Typically when you think of a CEMS you think about how your learners will navigate the system, and how your administrators will manage the content—primarily focusing on the user interface. However, while ease of use is important, there is a lot more to a successful continuing education management system. Continuing education is full of deadlines. Whether it is when early registration [...]
