  Designers
• Low to moderate technical skills
• Typically familiar with MS Word, PowerPoint, and
  web browsers
• No free time, very little IT support
• Has administrators/managers who desire
• SCORM compliance
• Cost savings
• Improved quality of learning

But SCORM means Design Complexity

• SCORM Activity trees
• Hidden or implied flow
• Objective mapping
• Content packaging
• SCORM RTE???

For an instructor, these things are just not
natural!

Bringing SCORM to the Users

• Designers understand storyboards and outlines
• Hide the activity tree and especially the
  resources
• Support their existing instructional design
  processes and metaphors
• Provide visual cues showing flow and branching
• Provide visual and edit simplicity
• Visual types of design objects, but limited
• Limit types of sequencing rules
• Provide CAD like hierarchy
• Automate as much as possible
• Robust content import and export
• Unified presentation through skinning
• Content packaging
• Sequencing
• RTE programming
