Want to SCORMify your video?

Are videos part of your eLearning content strategy? If so, you might need to consider how to share and track your training videos. Initially, it wasn’t a problem to host your video on Vimeo or YouTube, or to distribute it to learners via .mov or .mp4 files. But now, your customer has asked you to make your video SCORM compliant so they can play and track it in their LMS. So how exactly do you convert your video to SCORM? First, let’s understand what’s going on…

What is SCORM designed to do and why do I care?

Because SCORM is used throughout the world and across many different organizations, its job is to ensure communication between different platforms. At a high level, SCORM is designed to do two things:

  1. Provide a way to package an eLearning course, in its entirety, so it can play exactly the same way in any learning platform that plays the course.
  2. Track a learner’s interactions with eLearning content, no matter what LMS plays that course. A SCORM-compliant course will ensure a learning platform can easily and reliably store a learner’s progress and report on things like completion status, time, score and pass/fail status.

This is all to say that when your customers are asking for SCORM content, what they really want is for your eLearning video to be played and tracked properly in their existing learning application.

How do I make my video SCORM compliant?

We recommend choosing one of two options. The first is to get started using Rustici Driver, which is a software solution we offer that helps your content support the eLearning standards. The second option is to purchase an authoring tool, which can help you create eLearning courses.

  • Get started with Rustici Driver

    Rustici Driver helps you convert your content so it’s compliant with SCORM, xAPI, cmi5 and AICC. You can purchase a library license for Rustici Driver and use it to convert your videos to SCORM packages. If you want to experiment with Driver to see if it will work for your video content, we also offer a free version of Rustici Driver to help you build a proof of concept.

    Authoring tools can help you to easily and quickly create eLearning content. Most authoring tools will allow you to create SCORM packages from video content. While Rustici Software does not sell an authoring tool, we work with many of the most popular tools on the market.
