Exploring E-Learning Standards: Why Learn Tourism Chooses a Modern Approach

In e-learning and online education, the choice of technology standards can significantly impact the learning experience. One question that often arises is whether Learn Tourism | learntourism.org supports SCORM, Tin Can API, or AICC reporting. This article will explore this topic and explain why The Learn Tourism has opted for a different approach.

Understanding SCORM, Tin Can, and AICC

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) has been a prevalent technology standard in e-learning for quite some time, with its most commonly used version dating back to 2004. While it has served its purpose, several areas for improvement led The Learn Tourism to explore alternative solutions.

• Limited Branding and Customization: SCORM's user interface offers little room for branding and customization, making it challenging for companies to reflect their unique preferences and identity.
• Mobile Learning Challenges: With mobile learning becoming increasingly popular, SCORM may not always provide a seamless experience on mobile devices.
• Compatibility Issues: SCORM content, especially videos, occasionally encounters issues and may not always work smoothly on Apple iOS devices.
• Innovation Opportunities: Technology continually evolves, and e-learning needs are changing. There is room for ongoing development and innovation to keep pace with these evolving requirements.

Additionally, systems that rely on servers, such as SCORM, Tin Can, and AICC, have specific requirements that can result in higher management costs. Consequently, systems supporting these standards often charge startup fees and bills per user. While these servers offer the benefit of tracking user progress, the emergence of Cloud Computing has introduced a more modern alternative.
