## 3. Content Format Standards

### 3.1 SCORM Compliance

All e-learning content MUST support SCORM 2004 4th Edition:

    <organization identifier="org_001">
      <title>Course Title</title>
      <item identifier="item_001" identifierref="resource_001">
        <title>Lesson 1</title>
      </item>
    </organization>
  </organizations>
</manifest>
```

### 3.2 xAPI Support

Learning activities SHOULD be tracked using xAPI statements:

```json
{
  "actor": {
    "mbox": "mailto:learner@example.com",
    "name": "John Doe"
  },
  "verb": {
    "id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/completed"
