Prerequisites
- You need administrator rights to manage digital content.
- The SCORM package must be available as a .zip file.
Uploading a SCORM package
Uploading a SCORM package in digital content

After linking the SCORM package to a session, you can configure the following settings:

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