SCORM development and LMS testing

SCORM courses that launch, track and report properly.

We develop, package and test eLearning courses for reliable LMS delivery—including completion, scoring, bookmarking and reporting behaviour.

Course-to-LMS communication

SCORM lets the course and LMS understand each other.

A course can look perfect and still fail after launch if its completion rules, publishing settings or LMS communication are configured incorrectly.

Select a data type below to see what travels from the course into the learning management system.

Runtime data What should the LMS record?
Learning content eLearning course Storyline, Rise or another SCORM authoring tool
Running
SCORM runtime communication
Completion
Course data sent to LMS
Learning platform Your LMS Stores learner status and reporting information
Connected
Completion reporting

Did the learner complete the course?

The course reports completion after the learner meets the defined completion requirement, such as viewing enough slides, completing an interaction or passing an assessment.

LMS records Complete / Incomplete

Available reporting depends on the course logic, publishing settings, SCORM version and capabilities of the receiving LMS.

Choosing a publishing standard

The right format depends on your LMS—not what happens to be newest.

We match the publishing standard to your platform, tracking requirements and reporting environment so the finished course works reliably after launch.

01 Broadest compatibility

SCORM 1.2

A widely supported standard for tracking course completion, scores, bookmarking and time spent.

Best when

You need dependable tracking across a broad range of learning management systems.

Watch for

Its status model and available space for stored course data are more limited.

02 More detailed status

SCORM 2004

Separates completion from success and can support more detailed reporting and sequencing behaviour.

Best when

Your LMS specifically supports SCORM 2004 and the project needs more precise status reporting.

Watch for

Support and implementation can vary between different LMS platforms and versions.

03 Broader activity data

xAPI

Captures flexible learning activity statements, including experiences that may happen outside a traditional course.

Best when

You have compatible infrastructure and need richer or more flexible learning activity data.

Watch for

xAPI may require a compatible LMS or learning record store and a clear reporting plan.

We verify your LMS requirements before recommending a publishing standard.

SCORM troubleshooting

Start with what the learner sees.

Choose a common SCORM problem to see how we trace it across the course, package and LMS.

What is going wrong?

Testing path

Trace the launch from package to LMS.

We check whether the failure begins inside the published package, during LMS import or when the platform tries to open the course.

01

Course build

Confirm the correct launch file was published.

02

SCORM package

Inspect the manifest, structure and package settings.

03

LMS launch

Test the import, security and browser behaviour.

We isolate the failed handoff before changing the course.

LMS testing and quality assurance

Tested where it matters: inside your LMS.

Publishing a SCORM package is only the beginning. We test how the course launches, behaves and reports before it reaches your learners.

01

Import and launch

We verify that the package imports cleanly and opens without launch, browser or security errors.

02

Learner behaviour

We test navigation, completion, assessment results, bookmarking and resume functionality.

03

Reporting and handoff

We confirm that completion, scores and progress appear correctly before delivering the LMS-ready files.

Testing is matched to the LMS access and technical requirements available for your project.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about SCORM, answered.

Straightforward answers about SCORM standards, LMS testing, troubleshooting and what to expect from your project.

Have a different question?
01 What is SCORM and what information can it track?

SCORM is a technical standard that allows an eLearning course to communicate with a compatible learning management system. It helps the LMS launch the course and record learner activity.

Depending on the course and publishing settings, SCORM can report completion, pass or fail status, assessment scores, time spent and bookmarking information.

02 Should we use SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI?

The right standard depends on what your LMS supports and what your organization needs to track. SCORM 1.2 remains widely supported, while SCORM 2004 can provide more detailed status reporting when implemented correctly.

xAPI can capture broader learning activity data but may require a compatible LMS, learning record store and reporting setup. We verify your technical requirements before recommending a format.

03 Can you repair an existing SCORM course that is not working?

Often, yes. We can review the available course files, publishing settings and LMS behaviour to determine whether the problem is inside the course, the SCORM package or the learning platform.

Depending on what we find, the best solution may be a publishing adjustment, a targeted repair or a rebuild of part of the course. We diagnose the problem before recommending the scope.

04 Can you test the course directly in our LMS?

Yes, when appropriate testing access is available. We can test the package inside your LMS to verify launch behaviour, completion, scoring, bookmarking and learner resume behaviour.

If direct LMS access is not available, we can still validate the package in an appropriate SCORM testing environment and provide guidance for your internal LMS administrator.

05 How much does SCORM development or troubleshooting cost?

Cost depends on the condition of the existing files, the length and complexity of the course, the required reporting behaviour and the amount of LMS testing involved.

We review the available materials and technical requirements before recommending a scope, so you are not paying for a larger rebuild when a focused repair will solve the problem.
