SCORM Package

What is a SCORM package and its structure as a standard for e-learning content?

A SCORM package, which stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, is a standard format – a means of producing and managing educational content – widely used in e-learning. It works through adhering to a set of standards and specifications that allow e-learning content to be consistently produced, as well as to be fully interoperable with other SCORM systems.

Advantages of using a SCORM package for content interoperability and reusability

• They are compatible with a wide variety of platforms and LMSs, which promotes interoperability and makes it easier to distribute content.
• They allow for close monitoring of student progress.
• They encourage the reuse of content across multiple courses and modules, which saves time and resources.
• They offer content that is perfectly structured and in order.

How to implement SCORM content in LMS and LCMS platforms

Following the steps below will allow you to create and use your own SCORM packages on online training platforms:

1. Create your content

Create your educational content using a tool compatible with SCORM. You can use an authoring tool or even convert PowerPoint training courses to SCORM with isEazy Author.

2. Export the content as a SCORM package

Exporting your content in SCORM format directly from the authoring tool will generate a ZIP file containing all the necessary data and resources.

3. Import the new SCORM package into a training platform

Upload the new file to your online training platform or LMS. When compatible, the platform will automatically recognize the SCORM package and incorporate it into your course. By using tools like isEazy Author you can even share it as a direct link or simply upload it to a website or intranet.

4. Monitor and evaluate
