Use YouTube videos as Training Content
There are many times that a video is the absolute best way to teach something. For example, you could spend a number of hours creating an online course in an e-learning development tool about “How to change a tire”. Or you could set up a video camera and record yourself doing it, explaining the process along the way. My guess is that the recorded video would be just as good, or better than the online course for teaching a student how to change a tire.
Years ago, the process of creating a video was itself, a complicated, time consuming task. Training developers would not settle for poor quality video productions. Training developers using video in their products years ago would spend countless hours and dollars trying to produce Hollywood quality training productions to teach their tasks.

Inevitably a search for SCORM on Google leads to numerous white papers and technical specifications that can be quite mind boggling and explain much more about how to implement SCORM than what it really is and why you might want to use it. This document is an attempt to explain how SCORM applies in practical everyday usage. It is not an attempt to explain every aspect of SCORM, just some of the basics.
