Fountayn’s Learning Management System (LMS)

Fountayn’s LMS is developed based on SCORM 2004 3rd Edition but not SCORM 2004 3rd Edition compliant. Fountayn’s LMS supports the minimum requirements specified in the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition documentation plus LMS specific implementations.

To be SCORM 2004 3rd Edition compliant, a LMS has to adhere the compliance requirements defined for the following compliance categories:

  • LMS Run-Time Environment Version 1.0
  • LMS Content Aggregation Model Version 1.0
  • LMS Sequencing and Navigation Version 1.0

The requirements summary for each compliance categories will be discussed in the following sections and short notes will be added to each requirement if Fountayn’s LMS only meet the requirement partially.

LMS Run-Time Environment Version 1.0

To meet the LMS Run-Time Environment Version 1.0 requirements, the LMS shall:
