Prerequisites

  • You need administrator rights to manage digital content.

SCORM results

When a participant completes a SCORM module, the results are automatically recorded:

  • Progress — The percentage of the module completed.
  • Status — The status of the module (e.g., completed, not completed, passed, failed).
  • Score — The achieved score (if the module reports a score).

Note: The results recorded depend on what the SCORM package reports. Not all SCORM packages report a score.

Frequently asked questions

Which SCORM versions are supported?

PlusPort Academy supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.

Can I update a SCORM package without losing results?

When uploading a new version of a SCORM package, existing participant results are preserved. The new version becomes available for participants who restart the module.

What is the maximum file size for a SCORM upload?

This depends on the portal configuration. Contact your consultant if you experience issues uploading large files.

What should I do if I receive a message that the manifest file is missing?

If you receive a message that the manifest file is missing, it means the uploaded zip file does not contain imsmanifest.xml. This file is required for SCORM packages and contains all metadata about the e-learning module.

Check the following:

  1. Open the zip file on your computer and verify that imsmanifest.xml is in the root of the zip file
  2. If the file is in a subfolder, you need to recreate the zip file with imsmanifest.xml directly in the main folder
  3. Ensure it is a valid SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 package
  4. Upload the corrected zip file again
