Overview of a SCORM

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a widely used standard for packaging interactive eLearning content into a single file, usually a ZIP.

In EducateMe, SCORM packages can be uploaded and launched as interactive learning content directly within a course. SCORM files are treated as standalone learning materials and are not used for SCORM-based progress or completion tracking.

Watch our video to see how to upload and use SCORM content in EducateMe:


How to upload SCORM content?

To upload SCORM content:

  1. Navigate to your Course → open the Program tab.

  2. Click + Add new.

  3. Choose the SCORM tab from the activity type menu.

  4. Upload your .zip SCORM package file (SCORM 1.2 and 2004 are supported).

  5. Add a title and description (optional).

Once uploaded, the SCORM activity will appear in your course program, ready for learners to launch.

How to re-upload the SCORM file?

To replace content:

  • Open the SCORM activity

  • Delete the current file

  • Upload a new version

Learner progress remains intact.


Best practices for using SCORM in EducateMe

  • Ensure your SCORM file is exported correctly from your authoring tool.

  • Test your SCORM file before publishing.

  • Use SCORM for interactive content that includes branching scenarios, simulations, or built-in quizzes.

Important:

EducateMe supports uploading and launching SCORM packages, but it does not operate as a full SCORM runtime environment.

Instead, learner progress and completion are handled natively by EducateMe, based on course structure and activity completion logic.

SCORM files in EducateMe are used as interactive content, not as a source of learner progress data.

Expert Tip: Always keep SCORM packages lightweight (small file size + fewer embedded media), this reduces loading time and prevents issues when uploading.
