Choosing which SCORM version to use with your course

If you’re choosing to release your course as a SCORM package, you should ensure you're using the appropriate SCORM version (or tracking mode). The tracking mode determines how the course will judge the learner's success and report it to your Learning Management System (LMS).

The two available versions are:

• SCORM 1.2 and;
• SCORM 2004 (2nd edition)

Each tracking mode has slight differences in the way they track success which you may want to consider before releasing your course. For a more detailed breakdown about the differences between the two versions, see Understanding how SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 determine a learner's success.

Applying a SCORM version

1. Go to your Project

2. Select Configure

3. Switch to the Learner tracking tab

4. Choose an option from the Tracking mode drop down

• SCORM 1.2: sets the tracking mode to SCORM 1.2. All SCORM releases created from the Project will now use the SCORM 1.2 version.
• SCORM 2004: sets the tracking mode to SCORM 2004. All SCORM releases created from the Project will now use the SCORM 2004 (2nd edition) version.

5. If you choose SCORM 1.2:

Choose your preferred success verb from the drop-down labeled Mark completed courses as (SCORM 1.2 only). 

• Completed: the learner's success is judged based on their progress which is achieved by completing pages and interacting with elements on the page.
• Passed: the learner's success is judged based on their score which is achieved by correctly answering questions.

If you choose SCORM 2004:

There is no need to choose a success verb as both success verbs are used simultaneously.
