Adding SCORM to a Course

Course Activities provide access to SCORM modules and other learning components in Classes, Course Assignments, and Learning Paths. A SCORM module activity provides direct access to SCORM content that has been uploaded to a SCORM module (see Related Articles for information on uploading SCORM content). When the student selects the Launch button on the activity, the SCORM content will open and begin to play.

The steps below assume you have completed the Basic Information section in the course (Creating Courses). Before adding a course activity, you should select whether the course will available instructor-led and/or available Self-Paced on the Basic Information tab. This will affect the defaults for visibility of the activities you add for classes and course assignments.

Add a SCORM Module to a Course

To add a SCORM module to your course:

1. On the Create Course or Edit Course page, select Activities.
2. Select Add SCORM Module.
3. In the Choose SCORM Module dialog, search for and select the SCORM module(s) you want to add to the course and select OK.

Each SCORM activity has the following fields you can set for more control over that activity:

• Duration - sets the estimated amount of time the SCORM module should take. This may affect the overall duration of the class.
• Availability - limits who can view and launch the SCORM module activity. It defaults to Everyone but you can limit it to Instructors only if the activity is intended only for instructors.
• Required for course completion - requires a student to complete the SCORM module for the course assignment or class enrollment to be marked Complete.
• Available Instructor-Led - makes the activity visible in classes and class enrollments. NOTE: Available Instructor-led is not checked by default when added as a course activity. This is because a course may be set up to be used as both Instructor led and Self-pace, and classes have an instructor to explain the content, but self-paced does not, so classes do not necessarily need SCORM content.
• Available Self-Paced - makes the activity visible in course assignments.
• Post-class SCORM availability: When a SCORM module is instructor led, the option to configure post-class SCORM module availability is available. It is best practice to set this to match the post-class lab access availability, so that students have access to both labs and SCORM content after the class has ended.
