Key Changes from SCORM 1.2 to SCORM 2004

The key changes from SCORM Version 1.2 to SCORM 2004 are as follows:
• The addition of learning content sequencing capabilities as defined by the IMS Global Learning Consortium’s Simple Sequencing (SS) specification to address the need for dynamic presentation of learning content based on learner performance.
• Updates to the IMS Content Packaging Specification.
• The approval of the IEEE’s ECMAScript Application Programming Interface (API) and Learning Object Metadata (LOM) as formal IEEE standards and the addition of updates to these items to SCORM.
• Continuing standardization efforts on the IEEE Data Model for Content Object Communication and XML Schema Binding for LOM and the addition of updates to these items to SCORM.
• Various editorial and technical refinements based on feedback from the ADL Community on drafts and lessons learned in SCORM implementation
