With this, the ADL Initiative designed SCORM to leverage standard web technologies as well as emerging learning technology specifications. To provide organizations with the capability to reuse instructional components in multiple applications and environments regardless of the tools used to create them, the ADL Initiative led and conducted the research required to ensure that content could be separated from context specific run-time constraints and proprietary systems so that it could be incorporated into different applications. Conversely, large content vendors often specified their own delivery environment, requiring organizations to implement different delivery modules for each content vendor. This research was driven by the challenge that enterprise organizations faced when upgrading systems or changing vendors, which often required them to abandon expensive content and start from scratch.

The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM®) was created in 2000 by the ADL Initiative to address e-learning interoperability, reusability, and durability challenges.
