User Guide Using a SCORM Package

For those of you familiar with our SCORM integration, you are familiar with uploading the file within the lesson properties page. We have now introduced AICC support and have made it easier to incorporate this packaged content into your lessons. Content admins and instructional designers may also include additional Ed templates within that lesson to check for understanding after the learner has completed the SCORM content. In the authoring tool you now have the option to upload a SCORM package using a template found in the ‘Advanced’ templates category.

How to upload a SCORM package

In this user guide, we will walk you through how to upload a SCORM package and include additional slides.

  1. If you’re familiar with the LMS feel free to skip down to step 5. For those of you who are new to our platform, let’s start from the beginning. Once you’ve logged in to admin.edapp.com, select Courses in the top left hand corner. This will take you to the courses page, where you can organize and edit your content.
