Listing policy

What you can expect a listing to be worth, how to get one corrected, and how to have one taken down.

Accuracy

This directory is compiled from public documentation, source repositories, registry entries and vendor pages, by one editor, by hand. Facts go stale in ways nobody announces: prices change, repositories get archived, products are rebranded, acquired or discontinued, and a standard that was supported in version 3 is quietly dropped in version 4.

That is why every standards claim carries provenance and a date, and why the dates are printed rather than hidden — so you can weigh a listing instead of trusting it. A fact marked vendor-stated is a claim we are reporting, not a finding we are vouching for. The vocabulary is explained on how we list .

Nothing here is a statement of conformance, and nothing here substitutes for testing a tool against your own LMS and your own content. We give no warranty that a listing is complete, current or fit for a particular purpose, and procurement decisions taken on the strength of one remain yours.

Corrections

Anyone can ask for a correction. You do not have to own the tool, work for the vendor, or explain who you are — a wrong fact is wrong regardless of who noticed.

Use the report link on the listing, or email hello@scorm-tools.com. Give us the page, the fact, and what it should say. A link to the evidence — a documentation page, a commit, a release note, a registry entry — turns a fortnight into an afternoon.

What then happens:

  • We go back to the source. If we are wrong, the fact is changed and the checked date is updated so the correction is visible.
  • If a vendor-stated fact conflicts with the vendor's own current documentation, the documentation wins and the listing records where the fact came from.
  • If neither version can be established, the cell reverts to unknown. An honest gap beats a confident error.
  • We do not remove facts that are accurate but unwelcome. "The repository was archived in 2023" stays until the repository is un-archived, at which point tell us and we will re-check it.

Target turnaround is ten working days. A factual error that materially misrepresents a product — a standard shown as unsupported when it is supported, a price out by an order of magnitude — is corrected as soon as it can be confirmed, ahead of the queue.

Removal requests

A publisher, vendor or maintainer can have their tool taken out of the directory. Email hello@scorm-tools.com from an address at the tool's own domain, or from an account with commit rights on its repository, naming the tool and the listing URL. You do not have to give a reason, and we will not ask for one.

By default the listing is replaced with a short "no longer listed" page rather than deleted outright, so that links people have already made keep resolving. If you would rather the URL returned a hard 410 and disappeared from the sitemap entirely, say so in the email and it will.

We also remove listings on our own initiative — when a product is discontinued, when the site behind it has gone, when a repository is deleted, or when a tool turns out to sit outside the directory's scope.

Trademarks and logos

Product and company names on this site are the trademarks of their respective owners. They are used descriptively — nominative use — to identify which tool a page is about and to let people compare products by name, which is the only way a directory can function. Being listed here implies no endorsement, affiliation, sponsorship or licence in either direction.

Logos are used narrowly:

  • Only where the owner publishes a press or brand kit that permits the use, or where the listing has been claimed and the owner supplied the mark.
  • Reproduced at the owner's own proportions and colours, never recoloured, cropped, animated or set inside our own badge.
  • Otherwise a listing shows a favicon or plain text. We would rather ship a text listing than take a mark we were not offered.

If you own a mark and want its use here changed or stopped, email hello@scorm-tools.com. We will act on it rather than argue about it; a logo is not worth a dispute.

No longer listed

When a listing goes, the URL does not simply break. It becomes a short status page that names the tool, says plainly that it was removed — at the publisher's request, or because the product is discontinued — gives the date, and points to the other tools in the same category. That is more use to somebody following a two-year-old link than a 404, and it is more honest than pretending the entry never existed.

Badges follow the same principle. If a tool has embedded a "Listed on scorm-tools.com" badge in its README and the listing later goes, the badge image keeps being served — we are not in the business of breaking somebody's README — and the link resolves to the status page.

Affiliation

scorm-tools.com is published by LOST END FOUND LTD and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL), 1EdTech Consortium, or Rustici Software.

SCORM is a registered trademark of ADL. xAPI, cmi5, AICC and LTI are the names of specifications owned and maintained by their respective bodies. We link to their specifications and registries, and we run no conformance test of our own — a Verified chip on this site means a registry lists the product, nothing more. We do not speak for any of these organisations.

The publisher's own commercial interest in this directory is set out in full on the disclosure .
