Overview

1. SCORM 1.2.
   
2. SCORM 2004 3rd edition.
   
3. SCORM 2004 4th edition*.
   

* SCORM 2004 4th edition packages can be uploaded to the platform and played. However, feature support for 4th edition is limited.

1. Quickly turn your SCORM package into a new course.
   
2. Upload SCORM packages as resources, which you can insert directly within existing courses as SCORM sections and SCORM assessments. 
   
3. Configure SCORM resources.
4. Replace existing SCORM resources.

Note: The SCORM system uses AWS CDN (content delivery network), which increases tSCORM performance because content is loaded/cached via the AWS edge network. Each site has its own CND domain, and SCORM content is loaded through https://cdn.matrixlms.com/ and https://cdn.matrixms.eu. 

Installing the SCORM app

Before you can upload SCORM packages, the SCORM app must be installed on your platform by an administrator. To install the SCORM app, administrators:

1. Hover over Admin from the primary navigation menu.
   
2. Click App center from the fly-out menu.
   
3. Install the SCORM app from the Content section.
   

Create a new course by importing a SCORM package

1. Click or hover over Courses on the main navigation menu.
   
2. Click Add.
   
3. Click Course.
   
4. Click Import Package.
   

1. Click Completion only to add the SCORM package as a section in the new course. A SCORM section can track a user's completion and progress.
   
2. Click Completion + Score to add the SCORM package as an assessment in the new course. If the SCORM package includes a quiz, a SCORM assessment will capture its questions, responses, and scores.
   

It's important to determine the information you want to track from the SCORM package at this step, as you cannot edit this setting at a later time.

1. Enter a Name for the course.
   
1. Note that this name will also be applied to the module and section for the SCORM package. You can edit the module or section name after the course is created.
   
2. Select a Style for the course: Instructor, Blended, Self paced, or Micro course.
   
3. Enter the Duration for the course.
