SCORM and Tin Can API certification

With iSpring authoring tools, you can easily create .zip learning packages in a SCORM format ready for using in any SCORM learning environment.

iSpring Suite 8 flawlessly supports both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 formats with the extended features that come with them:

• Report of success and completion in SCORM 2004.

• Resume option, also called bookmarking (with suspend data compression).

• Question details (must be supported by your LMS).

ADL Certification for SCORM

iSpring Solutions Inc. has been an official ADL partner since the 5th version of iSpring authoring tools was released (March 2, 2010). In order to get the partnership status, a vendor has to go through the certification procedure. It’s really important that your SCORM authoring tool is officially certified so it will work with most LMSs without any issues.

Tin Can API certification

iSpring is also one of the first Tin Can API Adopters (a successor to SCORM, also called xAPI). The version of Tin Can API currently supported by iSpring is 1.0.
