How to import existing SCORM content in Workleap LMS.

Updated over 4 months ago

SCORM is a course packaging format used by many third-party training content providers. Follow the steps below to import a SCORM course package into Workleap LMS.

How to create a new SCORM course

  1. In your courses management section, click Create new course.

  2. Select the Blank template.

  3. Input the required basic course details (title, description, etc).

  4. Choose the Use SCORM content option.

    Two options: regular syllabus builder or SCORM content

  5. Upload your SCORM package. Make sure it meets all the technical requirements.

  6. Once your package is uploaded, LMS will ensure it's valid. This process can take from a few seconds up to a few minutes, depending on the size of your package. You will get an in-app notification when your package has been validated, even if you navigate away.

  7. Click Preview to preview your SCORM file before publishing your course.

Technical requirements

Your SCORM package must meet the following requirements:

  • Must be a .zip archive

  • Cannot exceed 400 MB

  • Must use SCORM version 1.2 or 2004

  • Must contain less than 1000 files

  • Cannot exceed 1 GB once unzipped

Tracking learners' progress

Workleap LMS can't track learner progression in detail for SCORM courses. For that reason, learner progress shows as one of the following:

  • Not started: the learner was enrolled in a SCORM course but has not launched it yet.

  • Ongoing: the learner started the SCORM course but has not completed it yet.

  • Completed: the learner completed the whole SCORM course.

The SCORM package configuration will determine when the course should be considered completed.

Ongoing status

Since Workleap LMS doesn't have access to the exact percentage of content that was completed or not inside of a SCORM course, the progress bar will display a generic "Ongoing" value:

Quizzes and knowledge checks

If your SCORM course includes quizzes, learners' answers and results for these quizzes will not be available in Workleap LMS. However, if your SCORM configuration requires a quiz to be completed successfully before marking the course as completed, this logic will be enforced.

Frequently asked questions

How can I know the version of my SCORM package?

  1. Unzip your SCORM package.

  2. Open the imsmanifest.xml file.

  3. In the first few lines, a <schemaversion> tag indicates the SCORM version.

    1. If there is no <schemaversion> tag, it usually means the version is SCORM 1.2

Can I include SCORM content in the regular course builder?

No, a SCORM package acts as a replacement for the whole course syllabus. If you need to combine SCORM content with native Workleap LMS lessons or quizzes, we suggest you bundle them inside of a learning path.
