Does your transportation company need to develop a driver training system that will be accessible online and across a wide variety of mobile devices? Online driver training is fast becoming the norm for fleet operators to accommodate varying driver schedules, skills and compliance requirements. Business owners and managers need to ensure their drivers are properly trained to optimize safety and keep them up-to-date with industry changes and regulation nuances.
Many fleet operators already have online Learning Management Systems (LMS) in place, but face the challenge of continually updating both content and delivery solutions. Training modules need to be accessible to drivers in whatever format the driver will be using, which today includes a wide variety of mobile devices and platforms. Following industry standards is increasingly important when it comes delivery and compatibility.
SCORM is an industry standard used to ensure compliance of e-learning software, and defines how “sharable content objects” can be assessed and reused by different users, technological systems and contexts. SCORM is a set of protocols, and stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. SCORM is actually a “reference model” as stated in its name. SCORM references the standards and then informs developers on their correct use.
SCORM does not help determine curriculum or provide for the design of e-learning programs; it does ensure that once your software is released or downloaded, everyone who needs access to the training will be able to participate in the training modules.
SCORM is the industry standard for LMS, and one which DriverCheck uses. Fleet operators seeking to better understand the benefits of online driver training, and how these solutions can be customized to improve performance, safety and compliance, can click here to learn more.
