Difference between SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004

Question

What are the core differences between SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004?

I have to publish my elearning course to SCORM and then upload to moodle. but there are two version of SCORM 1.2 and 2004. I am getting confused which one should be used to upload course on moodle.

Answer 1

There are a number of additional features of SCORM 2004 including some additional tracking fields and sequencing and navigation capability. However, many tools that publish to SCORM 2004 don't actually take advantage of these features and just send the same data as they would with SCORM 1.2. Further, Moodle's built in SCORM module only has partial support for SCORM 2004.

My advice: unless you have a specific reason to use SCORM 2004, use SCORM 1.2.
