Standards, standards, standards
Firmwater LMS is a standards-based application, through and through.
SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliant
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) defines a specific way of constructing learning management systems and training content so that they work well together. It is designed to make Web-based learning content interoperable, accessible and reusable. SCORM is widely adopted by many huge organizations, including the US Department of Defense, and is the de facto industry standard.
Firmwater LMS was designed from the ground up to support SCORM 2004 (the most recent release) but it also supports the older 1.2 version, achieving the highest compliance rating.
Assessment engine supports QTI 1.2.1 natively
Our assessment engine natively supports IMS Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) Version 1.2.1 from the IMS Global Learning Consortium.
QTI describes a basic structure for representing question and test data and their corresponding results reports. It enables the exchange of this data between different systems (learning management systems, content authors, and content libraries).
Web services standards compliance
Firmwater LMS's web services API is implemented to comply with SOAP 1.1 (Simple Object Access Protocol), and WSDL 1.1 (Web Service Description Language), and WS-I Basic Profile v1.1 specifications.
