This led to the escalation of success rate of educational game development on android.

As trending it’s no surprise that there is huge requirement and potential for companies to develop educational apps for the kids to access more and learn via playing. There are companies who are developing android based educational with cute characters and with a storyline.

Everything About SCROM Software

Defining SCORM

SCORM stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model”. SCROM compliant software is a set of technical predefined standards for e-learning. SCROM lets programmer state codes as to blend it with other e-learning programs. In other words it is a general facto industry criterion for better interoperability. The software also dominates online learning content and is not concerned about instructional design or has any pedagogical aspect as it is entirely technical.
 
Understanding the concept

We can understand the concept of compliant software through a small example of DVDs. Buying a new DVD does not need a testing over different DVD player. It will work equally on Panasonic and same as on Samsung player. The reason behind this is generalized standards set for movies. In the absence of such standardization, there would have been a big problem because per DVD there would be different DVD player. Prior to SCROM online learning had a similar picture. With standardization by SCROM, the situation changed altogether.
  
The cost of content integration has greatly reduced with such generalization. The sharable content is indicative of the fact that the software is about creating units of content available online. Most of the elearning solution providers, be it corporate learning solutions or for schools, SCORMs help create sharable content objects, SCOs that can be easily tweaked to be used in different contexts.
 
Who produce SCORM?
 
Sharable Content Object Reference Model is developed ADl, sponsored by United States Department of DoD.  As per the current trend, any independent company specializing in assisting other beneficiaries becomes SCORM conformant itself.

The future road

The road ahead is bright with lucrative prospects in development of the technology; the next generation is called Tin Can API. Tin Can API is a huge leap forwarding the e-learning community imparting and furthering SCROM knowledge.
