ALT is looking for a new name for its next-generation set of e-learning standards - what Aaron Silvers describes in an email as a "broad ecosystem of learning technologies." The name 'SCORM' will no longer do: "The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) does not adequately capture the scope of the work we're currently undertaking. Although we have temporarily referred to the Next Generation of SCORM when discussing the Tin Can API, personal assistants for learning, etc., these things go beyond 'content'." Of course, it could also have to do with the poor reputation the name SCORM has earned over the years as an acronym dedicated to courseware.
