SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a set of technical standards for e-learning software products. It defines how online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) communicate and interact. SCORM ensures that e-learning content can be easily shared, reused, and tracked across different systems and platforms.
Key features of SCORM include:
Interoperability: SCORM content can work across various LMS platforms.
Reusability: SCORM-compliant courses can be reused and adapted for different learning environments.
Tracking: SCORM allows LMS to track learners' progress, including quiz results, time spent, and completion status.
Sequencing: SCORM defines how the learner navigates through the course material.
SCORM is widely used in e-learning platforms to ensure standardized, compatible learning experiences across multiple systems.
For users who want to add a SCORM file for each lesson, there is a third-party solution:
MasterStudy LMS fully supports SCORM courses via a special addon. This addon allows you to use different content authoring tools to create courses and sell them with your LMS. Thanks to SCORM compatibility standards of eLearning content you can use it on MasterStudy LMS by simply uploading the content to your website.
To start using the addon go to MasterStudy LMS > Addons. Find the SCORM addon and enable it.
To reach the settings of the addon simply click on the gear icon on the Pro Addons page:
Alternatively, you can follow WP Dashboard > MasterStudy LMS > SCORM Settings:
This setting lets you specify which file extensions can be included in SCORM-compliant ZIP files uploaded to the MasterStudy LMS. By controlling the permitted file types, you can ensure that the content uploaded within SCORM packages is secure, compatible, and appropriately formatted for LMS usage.
Enter the file extensions you wish to allow inside the SCORM ZIP file, separated by commas (without spaces). You can specify any valid file type to ensure it is supported during the SCORM package upload process. Here is an example:
First, create an ordinary course as usual. Follow WP Dashboard > MasterStudy LMS > Courses > Add New Course:
Fill the basic course details (title, category, image) on the opened page to create a course:
Only one file can be uploaded as a SCORM package!
You are done! As we mentioned earlier, the contents of the SCORM course can not be edited in LMS. However, you can set other settings of the SCORM course like ordinary courses:
The appearance of the course will correspond to the system you used to create the SCORM course content.
Once the students complete the SCORM Course they can see their course progress on the course page:
By clicking on the Details button, they can download their certificates:
On the opened , you can see the Import SCORM button. Click on it and upload .zip version of the SCORM course:
SCORM courses will have their own Course Player. That's why the default of the MasterStudy LMS can not be applied to the SCORM Courses:
Following the same steps, you can upload the SCORM package to the existing course by simply editing it with. However, please note that if there are lessons in the curriculum, they will be deleted after the SCORM package is uploaded.
