Add SCORM packages
SCORM stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model”. It is a package which can be uploaded in any kind of Learning Management System, like Brightspace, Blackboard, Canvas, etc., without any change in look and feel. Brightspace Learning Environment is SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliant. For additional details, please visit: http://scorm.com/scorm-explained/.
Add SCORM to your Course
In your Brightspace Course: navigate to, or create, the Module in which your SCORM package will appear. Go to Content, click on Upload / Create and choose New SCORM/xAPI Object.
There are multiple actions you can take in the new window, which will be explained in the following sections.
-
If you have not already uploaded your SCORM package, click on Bulk Upload. Here you can upload multiple files at a time, max. fifty. When the file(s) are completely uploaded, a new window will appear: Configure Course Package Properties.
In the Configure Course Package Properties window, you can alter the name and the description of the package. Furthermore, you can choose to have the SCORM package embedded in the content, or to open it in a new window. If there is no built-in navigation in your SCORM package, you can choose to add external navigation controls. Additionally, you can enable the review/retake functionality if your package has that built in. Then click on Next. You can now Add the Course package.
