Create an Interactive Module from a SCORM Package

  • Updated

SMARTFENSE allows you to create custom Interactive Modules from files in SCORM format, facilitating the reuse of existing content.

How to create a module from SCORM?

1. Create the module

  1. Go to Custom Content > Interactive Modules
  2. Click on "New Interactive Module"
  3. Select the option "From SCORM"

2. Complete the module information

On the editing screen:

  • Fill in the data visible to the administrator (name, description, etc.)
  • Fill in the data visible to the end user (title, background and cover images)

Then click Save.

3. Configure the language

On the next screen:

  • The language assigned to the module will be displayed
  • By default, the administrator user's language is assigned

If you want to change it:

  1. Return to the interactive modules table
  2. Edit the module
  3. Select the language from the Translations column (flag icon)
Note: This language is independent of the internal language of the SCORM package.

4. Upload the SCORM package

  1. Click on "Select file"
  2. Upload the SCORM package
  3. Click Save

Result

The interactive module will be ready to:

  • Preview from the editing screen or from the Content Gallery
  • Be used in campaigns

SCORM content behavior

Modules created from SCORM:

  • Only display the package content
  • Do not allow adding native SMARTFENSE slides

Supported versions

SMARTFENSE supports:

  • SCORM 1.2
  • SCORM 2004

Interaction logging

Modules log:

  • Module start
  • Module completion

Start

Logged when the user starts the module.
This action does not depend on the SCORM package.

Completion

Depends on the SCORM package.

For it to be logged correctly, the package must send:

  • SCORM 1.2:
    cmi.core.lesson_status = "completed"
  • SCORM 2004:
    cmi.completion_status = "completed"

When this event is logged, the module is marked as completed in SMARTFENSE.

Translations

For each language:

  • A separate SCORM package must be uploaded

Steps:

  1. Edit the module
  2. Go to the Translations column
  3. Select the desired language
  4. Upload the corresponding package

Considerations

  • The module language does not modify the internal content of the SCORM
  • Completion depends on the correct implementation of the package
  • It is not possible to combine SCORM content with native slides

💡 Best practices

  • Validate that the SCORM correctly sends the completion status
  • Test the content before assigning it in campaigns
  • Maintain consistency between languages using separate packages
