Add a SCORM package
Add a SCORM package to a course: give it a name, upload the zip file and save.
A SCORM package is the learning content itself. In Linqur it sits inside a course. You open the course, click SCORM, give the package a name and upload the zip file. Once it is saved, you can publish it as an LTI tool. SCORM is one of several types of content a course can hold; the others are listed in getting started with course content.
Before you start
- You have a course to put the package in. If not, start with how to add a new course.
- You have the package as a zip file. If you only want to check the connection with an LMS, the sample SCORM file is enough.
Step by step
1. Open Manage content
Click Courses (1) in the menu and then Manage content (2) on the card of the course.
2. Click SCORM
The Content tab shows the sections of the course with their activities. In the section where the package belongs, click SCORM.
3. Enter a name
Under General, fill in Name. This is the name learners see in the course. Description is optional.
4. Open the file picker
Under Package, the Package file box says “You can drag and drop files here to add them.” Drag the zip file onto the box, or click the arrow in the box to open the file picker.
5. Upload the file
In the file picker, Upload a file (1) is selected. Click the button under Attachment (2), choose the zip file on your computer and click Upload this file (3).
The other source, Repository, is for a package you uploaded earlier to the file repository. You link the activity to that file or make a copy of it. See add a SCORM package from the file repository.
6. Check the package
The file is now under Package file (1). Below it, Auto-update frequency (2) is set to Never.
7. Save
Click Save and return to course.
Linqur shows the section with the new package (1). Click Back to course (2) to see the whole course.
Next step
- An LMS cannot reach the package until you publish it as an LTI tool: publish a SCORM package as an LTI tool.
- Change the name, the display or the grading: edit the SCORM settings.
- Should other content wait until the package is done? Set when the package counts as complete in how to set up course and activity completion, and use that as a condition in restrict access to sections and activities.
- Do you use the same package in several courses? Upload it once to the file repository and add it from there: add a SCORM package from the file repository.
