5.5. Navigation and Auxiliary Resources
The IMS SS Specification defines the concept of auxiliary resource as a supporting service provided to learners in conjunction with learning activities. Auxiliary resources include glossaries, reference manuals, chat rooms, discussion boards, etc. IMS SS provides only minimal hooks for auxiliary resources, and at this time, SCORM does not have sufficient community requirements to further define their use in an interoperable manner. SCORM does not prohibit the use of auxiliary resources; however, it is recommended that content developers and LMS vendors use auxiliary resources with extreme care to ensure future interoperability.
