This paper discusses the SCORM specification dissemination status in Japan by means of questionnaire survey for SCORM assessors. The survey has been conducted concerning three issues; (1) purposes of SCORM utilization and effects of SCORM assessor program, (2) merits of SCORM specification and the interoperability trouble, and (3) needs for SCORM 2004 specification. In terms of the first issue, SCORM assessor program is effective not very much for ready-made content distribution but for establishing a trustful relationship with customers. For the second issue, the expected merits of SCORM specification are well recognized by the SCORM assessors but these merits are not effective in the actual situation due to the existence of interoperability troubles. Concerning the third issue, there are high demands for SCORM 2004 specification promotion and the corresponding assessor program.
