Help with SCORM

SCORM = Sharable Content Object Reference Model.

We have been working with the more technical aspects of e-learning for more than 20 years. We have deep technical insight into SCORM and can therefore certainly also help you if you have a task you need to solve that involves SCORM.

SCORM is a standard used in e-learning to ensure that you can log what users do when they interact with some e-learning content. SCORM has a number of advantages and some disadvantages that are important to know when working with e-learning.

If you're like the vast majority of people, there's a good chance you don't know what SCORM is and what it's good for.

We have practiced explaining it for many years, so we can explain it to you - without you needing a high-level technical license to understand it.

In this video you can hear more about the benefits of SCORM. You can also read SCORM for Dummies and Busy People first if you would like to learn more about SCORM.)
What is SCORM?

We usually develop SCORM e-learning using the tools Articulate Storyline and Articulate Rise , but can also create custom solutions and expand the possibilities of what you can do with SCORM with these tools.

Please give us a call if you have any questions or read more about how we can help you develop SCORM compliant elearning .

"For us, Elearningspecialist is an absolutely fantastic supplier. Quick response and super-skilled consultants who have repeatedly helped us with some of the more complex technical challenges in connection with our e-learning projects. I always feel at ease when I contact Tomas - knowing that I will get the best professional help on the market, at a reasonable price and with good communication from start to finish. "

Examples of SCORM tasks we have solved

  • Development of SCORM compliant elearning for onboarding, awareness, compliance, occupational health and safety, GDPR and much more.
  • Converting video to SCORM
  • Converting other formats, e.g. Powerpoint or PDF to SCORM
  • Converting Flash courses to SCORM. We can often decompile/"open" Flash (.swf) files to retrieve graphics, audio, and more. This makes it possible to recreate Flash content in a modern authoring tool such as Articulate StoryLine - at a reasonable price.
  • SCORM consulting.

Geeky challenges we've also solved

  • Solved problems with SCORM modules not working, often without having access to source code.
  • Fixed issues with SCORM modules not being marked as completed when expected.
  • Make SCORM 2004 modules run as SCORM 1.2, and vice versa.
  • Expanded the functionality of existing authoring tools like Articulate StoryLine. An example could be saving PDFs from StoryLine or setting or retrieving custom values via SCORM.
  • Resolved issues with content produced in older tools like Adobe Captivate, Flash, Lectora, ToolBook or Course builder.
  • Advised LMS operations team regarding issues with content delivery.
  • Acted as SCORM experts for Danish customers in connection with their collaboration with developers in third countries.
  • And much more.

Even though it sounds very technical, we can actually talk about more than just "programmer talk" here in the store, so give us a call and tell us about your problem.


Content Migration/Conversion Services

If you are facing the need to migrate a larger amount of content, perhaps in connection with switching to a new e-learning platform, you should read on to see if our Content Migration/Conversion Services are something for you.

We have solved many of the problems that arise when a company switches from one LMS to another. Although SCORM content should in principle be able to be moved from one LMS to another, this is not always the case in practice. Unfortunately, it often happens, especially with older content, that companies do not have the original source files, which makes it particularly difficult to fix problems. We have extensive experience in getting SCORM packages to work without having access to the source files.

We have developed tools to optimize the process so that we can quickly and efficiently handle even large quantities of courses. We have had several projects with more than 1000 e-learning modules that had to be tested, prepared and moved. We use different types of resources for the different tasks, student assistants for testing, slightly more expensive programmers to solve problems, these can escalate to experts when needed. This allows us to keep the price reasonably low. It is all managed by a skilled project manager who speaks and writes Danish and English. We have developed tools to optimize the process so that we can quickly and efficiently handle even large quantities of courses.

We have both helped customers directly, but also acted as a subcontractor for large global LMS companies.

Here you can see some examples of Content Migration/Conversion Services projects that we have solved:

Client: Large Danish global group

We were responsible for testing and fixing any errors in 50 e-learning modules and uploading them into a newly purchased LMS so that the content was ready for LMS Go-Live. We did not have access to source code. Our experience with similar tasks, our Danish project management and our system for escalating “difficult” problems meant that we could solve the task independently, on time, in high quality at a reasonable price.

Customer: Mannaz

"Conversion"/Remake of 26 e-learning modules divided into 13 Danish and 13 English modules. The content was originally developed in a Flash-based tool, but we converted to Articulate StoryLine and modernized the design and usability at the same time. Some pages could not be converted to Articulate StoryLine, these were converted to HTML5 and embedded in Articulate StoryLine.
In addition to the finished modules, Mannaz also received the source code so that they can update their content themselves in the future. You can read more about the case here .

Client: Global brewing group

Preparation and testing of almost 1000 SCORM modules created with 9 different tools so that they could run in a newly purchased LMS platform. All the modules had problems running as they were developed with old versions of e-learning tools. We did not have access to the source code. We have developed scripts that help us optimize such processes. This allowed us to solve the task within 3 months. Solved as a subcontractor for a large global LMS supplier.

Client: Large French bank

Preparation of 102 e-learning modules . None of the modules were SCORM compliant. The task was to “package the modules into SCORM” and ensure that they worked in the new LMS. We did not have access to the source code. We completed the task in just over a month. Completed as a subcontractor for a large global LMS supplier.
