In fact, SCORM is a list of technical requirements. This list tells us how to make a course that will work on any platform \u2013 there\u2019s a detailed description of the eLearning course structure and the principles of its interaction with LMSs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If your course is published in the SCORM format, you can be sure that almost any learning management system (LMS) will recognize it.<\/p>\n<h3>What does SCORM mean?<\/h3>\n<p>SCORM stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model. Let\u2019s break this acronym down for the sake of clarity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sharable Content Object<\/strong>. SCORM packages are designed to be easily shared and reused across different eLearning platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reference Model<\/strong>. These rules act as a reference that everyone follows. Such specifications help maintain consistency across the industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"What Is SCORM?\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2024\/11\/ispring-blog-image-1732614179.png\" alt=\"What Is SCORM?\" width=\"792\" height=\"488\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>How SCORM works<\/h3>\n<p>This is how SCORM actually works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content packaging<\/strong>. All the learning materials for one course are put into a <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-create-and-play-scorm-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM package<\/a> that contains all the information that an LMS needs for importing and launching content. In other words, this file answers such questions as \u201cWhich document should be launched?\u201d and \u201cWhat is the name of this content?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run-time communication<\/strong>. This component is responsible for data exchange between an LMS and the content and deals with what is called delivery and tracking. First, the content \u201cfinds\u201d the learning management system and then they communicate through \u201cget\u201d and \u201cset\u201d calls and a corresponding vocabulary. Simply put, these are things like \u201cask the learner\u2019s name\u201d and \u201cinform the LMS that the learner scored 80% on this quiz\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sequencing<\/strong>. It relates to how a learner navigates through the SCORM course. For example, it directs how a user moves after performing certain actions like hitting the next button and defines which activities have to be completed before they go to the next step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"responsive_iframe_wrapper\">\u200b<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive_iframe\" style=\"padding-bottom: 56.25%\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JDl-fpXJaY0?si=w76lKY8g27VbnTDb\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"What-Is-a-SCORM-File?\">What Is a SCORM File?<\/h2>\n<p>A SCORM file or SCORM package (that can also be referred to as a SCORM course or a SCORM module) is a ZIP file that contains specific contents defined by the SCORM standard. It is known as a Package Interchange File (PIF) and has all the data needed to transfer learning content to an LMS.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the contents every SCORM package should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>XML file (imsmanifest.xml)<\/strong>. The manifest file describes the package and its contents. The required data includes a unique identifier, the minimal metadata describing the package and its SCORM version, resource definitions listing all files necessary to launch and deliver each resource, and the organization of learning activities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resource files used by the content package<\/strong> (\u201cparts\u201d that make up the course) and<strong> its learning activities<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Schema\/definition<\/strong> (XSD and DTD) <strong>files<\/strong> that define the structure of the manifest file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper image_wrapper_caption_margin\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Contents of a sample SCORM package\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/10\/ispring-blog-image-1601883879.png\" alt=\"Contents of a SCORM package\" width=\"792\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption_wrapper\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Contents of a sample SCORM package<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"What-You-Can-Track-with-SCORM-Versions-1.2-and-2004\">What You Can Track with SCORM Versions 1.2 and 2004<\/h2>\n<p>There are three existing versions of SCORM: 1.1, 1.2, and 2004. Each version has its own technical features and advantages. However, SCORM 1.1, the first version, is not widely adopted, so we\u2019ll go straight to those that are used extensively: <a href=\"\/blog\/scorm-1-2-vs-scorm-2004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM 1.2 and 2004<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For your convenience, we\u2019ve compared these SCORM versions in the table below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"table_wrapper\">\n<table class=\"bordered_table\" style=\"width: 701px;height: 528px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\"><strong>\u00a0Feature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\"><strong>\u00a0SCORM 1.2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\"><strong>\u00a0SCORM 2004<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">\u00a0Suspend data limit (number of characters)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">\u00a04,096<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">\u00a064,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">\u00a0Lesson location (remembers the learner\u2019s last progress point)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">\u00a0Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">\u00a0Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Separate completion and success statuses<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">No<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">Yes, it provides more accurate tracking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Session and total time spent<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Score raw (learner\u2019s result) and passing score<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">Yes<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Interaction tracking<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">Very limited<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">Yes, it provides full question and answer text<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Sequencing and non-linear\u00a0 navigation<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">No<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 246.3px\">Accessible outside of a web browser<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 253.875px\">No<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 337.888px\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Basically, here are the common SCORM tracking parameters, as they are commonly referred to in the official documentation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lesson_location<\/li>\n<li>lesson_status (passed, failed)<\/li>\n<li>Completion_status (completed, incomplete, or not attempted)<\/li>\n<li>session_time<\/li>\n<li>total_time<\/li>\n<li>score_raw<\/li>\n<li>mastery_score<\/li>\n<li>interactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s break down each parameter in more detail:<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson location<\/h3>\n<p>Lesson location is the learner\u2019s current location in the SCO. In other words, this is how far the learner has progressed in the course. Both SCORM versions allow you to track lesson location and take learners back to that point if they want to leave and come back later.<\/p>\n<h3>Lesson status and completion status<\/h3>\n<p>Lesson status implies whether or not the learner succeeds with the course. In the 1.2 version, you can track only \u201clesson_status,\u201d which can be complete, incomplete, failed, passed, browsed, or not attempted. In SCORM 2004, there are two different statuses: completion status (complete, incomplete, not attempted, and unknown) and lesson status (passed or failed), which are tracked separately.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to identify if a learner has completed a course but not necessarily mastered the content (e.g., \u201ccompleted\u201d but \u201cfailed\u201d), or if they have mastered the content without completing the entire course.<\/p>\n<h3>Session time and total time<\/h3>\n<p>Session time is the amount of time that the learner has spent in the current session for this SCO (Sharable Content Object). Total time is the sum of all of the learner\u2019s session times in the current learning attempt. Both SCORM 1.2 and 2004 can track that.<\/p>\n<h3>Score raw<\/h3>\n<p>Score raw is a \u201cnumber that reflects the performance of the learner relative to the range bounded by the values of score.min and score.max.\u201d In a nutshell, this is the score that the learner achieved for the module, which is tracked by any version of SCORM.<\/p>\n<h3>Mastery score<\/h3>\n<p>Mastery score is the passing score required to master the module.<\/p>\n<h3>Interactions<\/h3>\n<p>Learner interactions data provides information on how learners interact with the course, including responses to questions and choices made in interactive elements.<\/p>\n<h3>Sequencing and navigation<\/h3>\n<p>Sequencing lets eLearning content creators set rules about how users can navigate between SCOs. For example, a course builder can set a rule that prohibits learners from taking a final test until they have completed all of the course material or if a learner fails a certain question, send them back to repeat the previous module.<\/p>\n<p>Non-linear navigation was lacking in SCORM 1.2 and became possible only with SCORM 2004.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a <a href=\"\/blog\/scorm-compliant-lms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM-compliant LMS<\/a>, the main thing you need to know when creating an eLearning course is which SCORM version your LMS supports.<\/p>\n<p>You can find a detailed description of the SCORM content packaging specification on the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/scorm.com\/scorm-explained\/technical-scorm\/content-packaging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rustici Software<\/a>, the world\u2019s leading eLearning standards expert.<\/p>\n<div class=\"summary-from-ai\">\n<h3 class=\"summary-from-ai__title\">Too much to read?

You can\u2019t edit or reverse-engineer a published course; however, most SCORM courses are created with <a href=\"\/blog\/elearning-authoring-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">authoring tools<\/a> like iSpring Suite and, as mentioned above, use source (project) files that contain all the contents, including text, images, videos, etc. If you have a project file, you can open it right in the authoring tool, make the necessary changes, and publish the course to SCORM.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"SCORM-vs.-Other-eLearning-Standards\">SCORM vs. Other eLearning Standards<\/h2>\n<p>While SCORM remains the most widely adopted eLearning standard, it\u2019s not the only option available. Understanding how SCORM compares to other standards can help you make informed decisions about your eLearning strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>SCORM vs. AICC<\/h3>\n<p>AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee) was one of the predecessors of SCORM. While both standards enable communication between content and LMS platforms, SCORM offers better content packaging and sequencing capabilities. Learn more about the differences in our detailed comparison of <a href=\"\/blog\/scorm-vs-aicc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM and AICC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>SCORM vs. xAPI (Tin Can API)<\/h3>\n<p>xAPI represents the next generation of eLearning standards that offer more flexibility than SCORM. Unlike SCORM, xAPI can track learning activities outside an LMS, support offline learning, and capture learner data in greater detail. Discover which standard meets your needs in our <a href=\"\/blog\/xapi-vs-scorm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">xAPI vs. SCORM guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>SCORM vs. cmi5<\/h3>\n<p>cmi5 combines the best features of SCORM and xAPI, offering enhanced content delivery and better tracking.

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 have become the most popular technology standards. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwareadvice.com\/resources\/scorm-vs-aicc-vs-tin-can\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Software Advice survey<\/a>, 62% of businesses use SCORM courses for training in their LMS.<\/p>\n<p>However, some experts believe that other eLearning standards will become more dominant in the future. More recently, the evolution of SCORM has generated the <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-xapi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tin Can (Experience API)<\/a> and cmi5 formats. These formats feature a wide range of capabilities: they allow your learners to study offline and\/or use mobile devices, support PDF documents and interactive simulations, collect detailed statistics about learners\u2019 progress, and much more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"FAQ-about-SCORM\">FAQ about SCORM<\/h2>\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll find answers to some frequently asked questions about SCORM, and we\u2019ll update this blog post with any new ones you might ask in the comments.<\/p>\n<h3>1. What does it mean to be \u2018SCORM compliant\u2019?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/what-does-it-mean-scorm-compliant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM compliance<\/a> means adherence to the industry standard for communication between eLearning content and LMSs. Simply put, using any SCORM-compliant authoring tool means you can create a SCORM-compliant course and then publish it to any SCORM-compliant LMS. The course will play on a multitude of platforms without requiring any adjustments, and you\u2019ll be able to track your learners\u2019 activity and results.<\/p>\n<h3>2. What is a SCORM wrapper?<\/h3>\n<p>A SCORM wrapper is a set of files that make it possible for a learning management system and your eLearning content to communicate with each other. You can apply a SCORM wrapper to nearly any form of training content, and then upload it to an LMS for immediate learner access.<\/p>\n<p>To get a detailed overview, read our post about\u00a0<a href=\"\/blog\/scorm-wrapper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCORM wrappers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. How do I check the SCORM version?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a SCORM package and are not sure what version of SCORM it was published in, you can figure it out by looking in the imsmanifest.xml file in the root directory of the course. Unzip the SCORM package, find the imsmanifest.xml file, and open it with either TextEdit (Mac) or Notepad (Windows). You need to find the metadata tags &lt;schemaversion&gt;&lt;\/schemaversion&gt; and see what\u2019s between them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&lt;schemaversion&gt;&lt;\/schemaversion&gt; and 1.2 between them means that it\u2019s SCORM 1.2.<\/li>\n<li>&lt;schemaversion&gt;&lt;\/schemaversion&gt; and CAM 1.3 \/\/ 2004 3rd Edition \/\/ 2004 4th Edition between them means it\u2019s SCORM 2004.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4.
