What is SCORM?

SCORM stands for Shareable Content Object Reference Model. Essentially, it is a set of technical standards that allows learning content to "play nicely" with any LMS supporting SCORM. This means you don't have to recreate your content for each LMS, you can simply import it. SCORM content is supported on the Myagi platform if:

  • The file it's a SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 zip file

  • The file is ideally no larger than 120Mb

How to upload your SCORM

You can upload your SCORM content to a Lesson on Myagi by selecting HTML5 Package on the Lesson page.

Contains a Scored Quiz

Toggle this option on if the content contains quiz questions that you want to be included in the total lesson score.

Enable Manual Progress Control

Toggle this option on if you'd like to be able to move through the content from within Myagi. This is the recommended default state.

SCORM content will play the same on any device. You should ensure that your content is either responsive based on screen size or optimized for the screen size your users will be using most.

How are Scores Calculated?

If you indicate that the content contains a scored quiz:

  • If the module is completed, they will receive the score earned.

  • If the module is not completed, they will receive 0%.

If you indicate that the content does not contain a scored quiz:

  • The user will receive 100% for completing the module.

Total lesson score combines both SCORM modules and any additional Myagi quiz questions added to the lesson.

Troubleshooting

I am having trouble uploading my SCORM file

It is likely that your zip file is too large. We recommend that your file be no larger than 120Mb to avoid upload issues. If you run into this issue, we recommend:

  • Optimize images and videos within your content to reduce overall file size.

  • Split the content into multiple modules.

My SCORM content appears to be slow/lagging

This is also likely due to a content file being too large and requiring too much memory to run smoothly. Apply the same recommendations for reducing file size as above.

My SCORM content isn't loading, scores aren't being recorded correctly, or buttons within the content aren't functioning

If you are seeing an AccessDenied error or your content simply isn't loading or performing as expected, it is likely due to an incorrect Index Location. You can change the index location by clicking on the HTML5 Package within Myagi.
