SCORM stands for Sharable Couseware (or Content) Object Reference Model
This initiative, headed by the ADL Co-Laboratory in Orlando, has
far-reaching implications in how training is provided within the military in
the coming years. SCORM aims to establish guidelines to:
Exploit existing network-based technologies
Create platform-neutral, reusable courseware and content
Promote widespread collaboration to satisfy common needs
Enhance performance with emerging and next-generation learning
technologies
Develop common framework that drives COTS product cycle
Establish a coordinated implementation plan.
Before I did the research to answer your question, I thought this was an
industry-wide attempt to set standards for developing computer-based
training and student tracking devices. I had not realized it was "merely" a
DoD initiative.
Hope this helps!

What's a SCORM when you find one?
