Before SCORM and modern LMS APIs, there was AICC, the standard that started it all. Born in the aviation industry in the late ’80s, AICC defined how digital training content could communicate with learning management systems long before browsers or JavaScript were part of the picture.
This series explores the structure, logic, and legacy of AICC, from its simple .crs , .au , and .cst files to the principles of interoperability that still influence today’s learning technologies. For developers, it’s a journey into the roots of e-learning architecture and the timeless elegance of well-designed standards.
