    What is SCORM?

    Definition

    SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is an e-learning standard for packaging course content so any compliant LMS can play it and track results. It defines how a course and a learning platform communicate — launching content and reporting completion, score and time. SCORM is why a course built in one tool can run and be tracked in another.

    SCORM vs xAPI

    SCORM tracks course-level results (completion, score) inside an LMS. xAPI (Experience API) is newer and records granular learning experiences anywhere, not just inside an LMS. ContentBuilder imports and exports both, so migrating off a legacy LMS keeps your content and history.

    SCORM — frequently asked

    SCORM is used to package e-learning content so it can run and be tracked in any compliant LMS. It standardizes how a course reports completion, score and time, which makes courses portable between systems and simplifies moving content when you switch platforms.

    SCORM tracks course-level results inside an LMS; xAPI records more granular learning experiences and works beyond the LMS. xAPI is the more modern standard, but SCORM is still widely supported. ContentBuilder handles both for import and export.
