You might wish to use the TinQwise learning platform's fresh interface and fun learning formats, but are already committed to another learning management system. No worries! With SCORM you can enjoy platform functionalities without replacing your current tooling.
What is SCORM?
SCORM is a way to integrate our learning platform into your own learning tool or LMS. We generate a SCORM package containing details to load our platform straight from your LMS. Your users can then enjoy the learning experience the learning platform offers from the learning tool or LMS they are already used to.
What do users see when they open the platform via SCORM?
Users are redirected to the discovery stream that is set up within the platform. From there, they can open activities and journeys.
Why would I choose for SCORM?
When you don't need the LMS functionalities of the platform, such as user management, course management and reporting, but you do want to offer an optimal learning experience for your users using the platform interface and formats. On top of that, it is a relatively low-impact implementation.
Note: SCORM cannot be used in combination with the Enterprise Add-on.
What user information is passed on to the platform?
The platform only collects the user ID as known in your own LMS together with the first and last name of the user. It does NOT collect e-mail addresses or any other user data such as function or department.
Note: this means that we cannot differentiate content without creating multiple scorm packages.
What data is reported back to the LMS or learning tool?
SCORM offers limited reporting. Completion rates are reported back as 0% with completion status “incomplete” until a user has completed 100% of the content available within the platform for the target group.
If the learner reached 100% progress, we will send back the completion status 'completed'. Some LMSs also require success status to be set in order to complete a SCORM package, in those cases we also send success status “passed” to the LMS.
Are SCORMS multilingual?
Yes, if your learning platform and its learning content is translated into multiple languages, learners can switch to different languages within the SCORM package.
Is a new SCORM package needed after a new version is released?
No, with a SCORM package, new versions of your platform and new versions of content are available the moment they are published. That saves you the trouble of redistributing SCORM packages.
How many SCORM packages can I have per learning platform?
You can have as many SCORM packages available as you want. If you want to offer differentiated courses or learning programmes for different customers or departments within your organisation, you can create SCORM packages for each individual target group and enrol the right learners to that SCORM course in your learning management system.
What am I missing with SCORM?
Remember that we always recommend having your own platform. When using SCORM you can't report, differentiate content or notify users. Also, it's good to note that you're unable to create your own content or adjust it on the fly as the basic implementation of SCORM is without access to the Content Builder and Control. If these functionalities are important to you, we suggest to have another think or talk about switching to the learning platform.
Please note: Because of the mentioned limitations, if possible, we recommend using a LTI integration.
