# What is SCORM and why does it matter for Learning Managers?

**Introduction**  
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is the most widely used standard for e-learning content. Understanding SCORM helps Learning Managers know how lawpilots trainings integrate with different learning platforms.

### SCORM overview

SCORM ensures that digital trainings work across different learning management systems (LMS). It allows seamless communication between training content and the LMS.

### Versions supported by lawpilots

lawpilots provides SCORM packages in the following versions:  
SCORM 1.2  
SCORM 2004  
Please note: SCORM 2003 is also possible, but we strongly recommend 2004, as the functionality is improved. 

### Compatibility with other LMS systems 

Almost all major LMS platforms, such as SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, and LMS365, support SCORM packages.

### What SCORM enables

With SCORM, Learning Managers can:  
Track learner progress.  
See test results.  
Confirm completion status.  
This data is available directly in your LMS.

### Beyond SCORM: xAPI (TinCan)

xAPI, also known as TinCan or Experience API, is the successor to SCORM. It is more flexible and can capture a broader range of learning activities, such as:  
Mobile learning apps  
Video-based learning  
Learning activities outside the LMS  
If your LMS supports xAPI, you benefit from more detailed tracking options.
