SCORM

SCORM is the format used when exporting courses from MentorKit. Exporting a course as SCORM creates a ZIP file that can be uploaded to a SCORM-compatible Learning Management System (LMS).

How to use a SCORM export​

To use a SCORM file:

  • Generate an export from the Export page
  • Download the ZIP file
  • Upload the file to your LMS

The upload process depends on the LMS you are using.

info

SCORM is required when uploading courses to most LMS platforms.

Important​

  • The ZIP file should be uploaded directly to an LMS
  • Do not extract the ZIP file before uploading
  • SCORM files are usually blocked as email attachments for security reasons

If you update your course, you must generate and upload a new export.

What is SCORM​

SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) is a standard used to package and deliver e-learning content. It ensures that courses created in one system can be used in different LMS platforms.

SCORM compatibility​

A SCORM-compatible LMS can:

  • Load and display the course
  • Track learner activity
  • Store results such as progress and score

Supported features may vary depending on the LMS.

What is tracked​

When using SCORM, the following data can be reported to the LMS:

  • Final score
  • Completion status (for example: complete, incomplete, pass, fail)
  • Time spent
  • Learner progress (resume where they left off)

Tracking behaviour depends on LMS support.
