Understanding our online SCORM package

Conventional SCORM packages contain all of the course’s content and assets within the SCORM zip file. While it can be advantageous to have a self-contained file, you can also run into problems like LMS size restrictions and more complex version control.

Elucidat’s online SCORM packages are more flexible. The entire package is extremely light-weight, always containing only three files:

• launch.html
  Points to the content hosted on our servers
• imsmanifest.xml
  Tells the LMS how to display and track the course
• content
  A folder containing a single json file describing the content of the course

This brings advantages like:

• The SCORM file will never reach an LMS’s content size limit
• Learner data and usage information can be reported to Elucidat’s Analytics
• Live courses can be updated via re-release
• Courses are quick to load and do not rely on lengthy suspend data to bookmark a learner’s position
