I answer a lot of SCORM questions ranging from the basic to the extravagant, and I actually like it. A huge part of what I do is teaching about SCORM.
Sometimes, though, I get questions that make me laugh. Today, I feel like I need to share this one because it isn’t the first time I’ve gotten a question like this one.
What is Scorm Compliance?
OK, good question. I get this one a lot, so I have a sense of where it’s headed. My answer:
Is this what you’re looking for? The distinction between compliance and conformance? Or something more like this, a basic description of SCORM?
The response (slightly rephrased):
Yes both are good. There is a training specialist job interview question? ”Which of the following best describes your experience with Scorm Compliance?” (Then # years and months choice) So what does experience with Scorm Compliance mean in this context?
Let’s cut to the chase. The answer is none. You have no experience if you don’t know what it is.
Funny, yes. Uncommon? Not entirely. People think, or more accurately hope, that their products are SCORM conformant. Let me put it simply… if you haven’t tried, or worked at it, your product simply is not SCORM conformant, or IMS BLTI compliant, or AICC conformant. These things take effort. And so does acquiring SCORM experience as an individual.

Looking for a few good (not-necessarily) men…again

We write about working here more often than we ever post that we’re hiring. Small company, only so many slots to fill, yada, yada, yada. Seriously, when you have a great place to work, who wants to leave?
So now’s your chance. We’re hiring. Developer types. All sizes. Bonus points if you can beat Tim at ping pong.
- Why you want to work here. (Well most of why. It doesn’t mention the cookies.)
- How to make it happen
- Some background on how we look at hiring.

The morning started out like any other. David decided to unwrap a package of Orbit gum. We’ve been headed down a path toward implementing a bit of BLTI from IMS (Basic Learning Tools Interoperability), and so we have a copy of Dr. Chuck’s book on our island. (Dr. Chuck’s tattoo has been admired many times, but today, we noticed the back of the bookjacket.)
Well, we really started wondering why Chuck was yelling the whole time. We decided that we would take the opportunity to reenact this important moment. And if we were going to have that moment, we might as well video it, so that we could share it with you, instead of just the guy who rode by on his bike.
Enjoy.

Back-to-back. For the second year in a row, the Nashville Business Journal thinks we are one of the best places in town to work. I’m not normally driven by ego, awards or praise, but this is an award I hope to never lose.
There aren’t enough companies in this world that trust their employees, that treat them like adults and that let them live their lives outside the office. This is one area where I am proud to be different.

If you read this blog, you probably noticed we’ve been interviewing folks to help us with some of the non-technical aspects of our business. We talked to a lot of really smart people and two weeks ago four of them showed up at the office to start work.
