SCORM Compliant LMS

Q: Why do SCORM files come in ZIP folders?

Learning management systems will only read and process SCORM content as ZIP folders. ZIP folders ensure that your course content is compressed, organized and ready for fast upload.

Q: How do I upload my SCORM files to the LMS?

Uploading SCORM files to Absorb LMS is easy to do, whether you're importing new courses, or adding or replacing learning objects in existing courses. Whenever you're adding new content, simply select your desired file format before uploading your files.

Q: Should I use AICC, HTML5 or xAPI?

There are various reasons for choosing a particular standard. AICC is a legacy standard and is typically only considered for security purposes or deployment flexibility. The xAPI standard is more advanced; it allows for complex recording of non-standard course activities and can track learning events outside of an LMS (e.g., if watching a YouTube video counts as completing a course). HTML5 is a great replacement for Adobe Flash Player, which is no longer supported.

SCORM, which stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, is a worldwide technical standard for eLearning tools and software. In a nutshell, SCORM helps learning management systems read, understand, and interact with online courses. Whether you're on a desktop or smartphone, outsourcing courses or building them from scratch—Absorb LMS is ready to handle your SCORM compliance needs.
