The Rustici Test Kitchen

A few days ago, a Pyrex dish filled with orange-chocolate chip cookies arrived in our office. In our world, a Pyrex dish means one thing: we’ve been graced with treats from Tim’s wife. As we sampled the offerings, Tim told us about his wife’s new endeavor. She was turning their kitchen into a test kitchen and would repeat a recipe until she had made it better and simplified the process. Her treats don’t last long in the office, so unfortunately we can’t share with you.

I’m that kid. When you talk about the new kid around the office, the one with a phone practically glued to her hand, constantly texting (I sent over 1,650 last month alone!), the aptly named “digital native”, you are talking about me.

Most people think buzzwords are annoying, trendy and overused words that pop up everywhere. Buzzwords serve one purpose: to drum up excitement around an idea, product, or event. That’s why people use them.
While Chris and I worked through the Atlas, we kept an eye on words that came up to see if we could find any trends in the industry. I’m not one for graphs and charts, that’s more Chris’s speed. What I’m into are trends and patterns. (If you were wondering, I have an affinity for plaid, houndstooth and ikat patterns).

I answer a lot of SCORM questions ranging from the basic to the extravagant, and I actually like it. A huge part of what I do is teaching about SCORM.
Sometimes, though, I get questions that make me laugh. Today, I feel like I need to share this one because it isn’t the first time I’ve gotten a question like this one.
What is Scorm Compliance?
OK, good question. I get this one a lot, so I have a sense of where it’s headed. My answer:
Is this what you’re looking for? The distinction between compliance and conformance? Or something more like this, a basic description of SCORM?
The response (slightly rephrased):
Yes both are good. There is a training specialist job interview question? ”Which of the following best describes your experience with Scorm Compliance?” (Then # years and months choice) So what does experience with Scorm Compliance mean in this context?
Let’s cut to the chase. The answer is none. You have no experience if you don’t know what it is.
Funny, yes. Uncommon? Not entirely. People think, or more accurately hope, that their products are SCORM conformant. Let me put it simply… if you haven’t tried, or worked at it, your product simply is not SCORM conformant, or IMS BLTI compliant, or AICC conformant. These things take effort. And so does acquiring SCORM experience as an individual.
