Upload and configure SCORM content

Updated

PlusPort Academy supports uploading SCORM packages (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) for e-learning modules. This article explains how to upload and configure a SCORM package as digital content for a training.

Requirements

  • You need administrator rights to manage digital content.
  • The SCORM package must be available as a .zip file.

Upload a SCORM package

To upload a SCORM package to digital content:

  1. Go to Administration > Content management > Manage digital content.
  2. Find the content folder where you want to place the SCORM package or create a new folder.
  3. Click Add content and select SCORM (.zip).
  4. Select the .zip file containing the SCORM package.
  5. Configure the fields (name, code, percentage, and so on).
  6. Click Save.

Configure session settings

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

General settings:

  • Parent content: The folder where the SCORM package is placed.
  • Name: The name of the SCORM package shown to participants.
  • Code: A unique code for the content item.
  • File: Select a new .zip file to upload (maximum 500 MB).

Score and attempt settings:

  • Attempts: The maximum number of attempts (0 = unlimited).
  • Minimum percentage: The minimum percentage that must be achieved to pass.
  • Show score/check mark: Determines whether the score is shown to the participant.
  • Aggregation: Determines whether the score is included in the total training score.
  • Status based on score: Determines whether the status (passed/failed) is based on the score.

Display settings:

  • E-learning window width: The width of the SCORM window in pixels (0 = default).
  • E-learning window height: The height of the SCORM window in pixels (0 = default).
  • Open SCORM window as pop-in: Determines whether SCORM content opens in a pop-in.

Other settings:

Find and link content

  1. Go to the Content for this definition tab.
  2. Click Edit e-learning items.
  3. Select the SCORM content item and click Save.

SCORM results

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

  • Progress — The percentage of the module that has been completed.
  • Status — The module status (for example completed, not completed, passed or failed).
  • Score — The score achieved, if the module reports a score.

Note: The recorded results 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 you upload a new version of a SCORM package, existing participant results are retained. The new version becomes available to participants who start the module again.

What is the maximum file size for a SCORM upload?

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

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

This message means that the uploaded zip file does not contain imsmanifest.xml. This file is required for SCORM packages and contains all metadata for the e-learning module.

Check the following:

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