Add SCORM content to modules

Add SCORM content to modules


Intended Audience:  Administrators, Instructors 

Summary

Upload SCORM content as zipped files to provide interactive learning modules. Safety Made Simple supports SCORM v 1.2, and SCORM 2004 (3rd and 4th editions).

As best practice Safety Made Simple recommends: make an "upload" copy of each SCORM zipped file, to use in Safety Made Simple. Keep your original SCORM files separate in case you need to revise or edit them.

After you upload your zipped file, Safety Made Simple combines your SCORM file with its own code, to work in the user interface. You can't download the SCORM file again to edit it or use in another LMS.

Uploading files

Size limit for a compressed file is 1.5Gb (gigabytes).

  1. From main navigation go to Courses > your course name.
  2. From secondary navigation tab select 
  3. From the course content page, select Add SCORM or Tin Can > Upload File.
  4. Choose the SCORM .ZIP file from your drive. Encoding your SCORM file takes a few minutes.
  5. Save to return to the content page.

Edit SCORM settings

For Module Info, the only required field is the module Title. All other entries are optional.

The following screenshot shows the More > Edit menu.

  1. From the course Content page, on the SCORM module, select More > Edit.
  2. Enter any changes to the Module Info card for:
    • Title 
    • Tags 
  3. Select Add Description to add text or images: learners can view this description before they start their course. 
  4. Advanced Settings:
    • Set a mastery/passing score: for graded content like exams or assignments, the application picks up a default score as part of the SCORM import. You can enter a new score, without having to update your SCORM course and re-import the .ZIP file.
    • Complete module when? Use the default setting LMSFinish is received unless you need to register a learner's completed course using a different criterion.
    • Number Attempts/Completions Allowed: By default, Safety Made Simple allows unlimited attempts to complete a module. You can limit the attempts permitted.
    • Overwrite previous attempt? and Only overwrite if better than previous? These options determine if the application keeps the most recent score, or only the best score.
  5. Window Options control the appearance of the course window, and its behavior. Edit these settings if you have graphics which require a specific window size: 
    • Window width in pixels... 
    • Window height in pixels...
    • Enter a value between 0.1 and 1.0 to vertically resize/scale content...
    • Enter a value between 0.1 and 1.0 to horizontally resize/scale content...
  6. Save to finish.
Tip: If you're not sure if you need to set Window Options, test your course with and without settings on different devices like a phone, a tablet and a laptop to see how the graphics appear in different screens.

The following screenshot shows the Advanced Settings and Window Options cards for SCORM modules.

Option for Edge browsers

If you experience performance issues with SCORM modules in these browsers:

  1. Enable Open SCORM in new window for Internet Explorer and Edge users.
  2. Save to finish.
Warning: Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer 11 in June 2022. As a result, Safety Made Simple does not support IE 11.

This feature remains available to support Edge browsers.
