- This paper proposes an architecture for a SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)-conformant content delivery system in an e-learning solution. Since the most important purpose of e-learning technology is to deliver highest quality education and training cost-effectively anytime and anywhere, in this paper we focus on learning content delivery as an online and asynchronous manner. On the other hand, in order to build an interoperable system, it is clear that we should utilize e-learning standards and specifications. For this reason, various available solutions have been evaluated and it has been found out that SCORM, as a comprehensive collection of e-learning specifications and standards, has some unique features which are useful specially for employing in a content delivery system. Eventually, we turn to the implementation perspective of our proposal. In particular, what is important to this study is that how an LMS (Learning Management System) employs the sequencing strategy defined by content author to deliver the appropriate piece of content at any given time and how to pave the way for communicating with content object at run time based on SCORM criteria in order to make proper decisions about delivery of next content object to the learner
