SCORM packaging options

Highfield SCORM packages come in 2 formats:

  1. Individual SCORM packages
    • An individual SCORM package contains just one module (SCO) in one SCORM package.
    • Benefit: Limits progress loss to the active module if a disconnection occurs.
  2. Multi-SCO SCORM package
    • A Multi-SCO SCORM package contains more than one module (SCO) in one SCORM package.
    • LMS Requirements:
      • Support Multi-SCO SCORM packages.
      • Show a menu/list of modules.
      • Track each module (SCO) separately.
      • Correctly read the imsmanifest.xml file.

 

SCORM Package Tracking

The SCORM package tracks the following data:

  • Completion status
  • Success (passed/failed)
  • Score (percent)
  • Time spent
  • Lesson location – where was the learner last in the module?
  • Some interactions.

 

SCORM Upload Settings

Recommended settings for optimal performance:

  • Display SCORM content in a new window (pop-up).
  • Set completion status to ‘Passed.’
  • For Multi-SCO SCORM packages:
    • Display course structure in the player (to the side)
    • Require all SCOs to report a completion status.

 

Technical Requirements

Ensure your LMS meets these criteria:

  1. SCORM compliance: Supports SCORM 1.2 and/or SCORM 2004.
  2. Connection stability: Reliable internet connection (5 Mbps or above recommended) to prevent progress loss.
  3. Pop-up blocker settings: Disable blockers for SCORM content.
  4. Storage capacity: Sufficient space for SCORM files.
