You can now upload and manage SCORM courses directly in Factorial’s Trainings module. This allows you to centralize both native training content and existing SCORM learning materials in one place, without needing a separate LMS platform.

With SCORM import support, admins can upload existing courses created in tools like Articulate, Adobe Captivate, or iSpring, track completion and pass/fail results, and export detailed learning activity data for reporting purposes.

Available only for companies with Training Core + LMS enabled

Overview

The SCORM Importer allows admins to upload SCORM packages into the Trainings module and manage them alongside other training activities such as sessions, attendance tracking, and knowledge tests.

This feature supports:

SCORM 1.2
SCORM 2004

Progress is automatically synced with the training completion rules configured in Factorial.

Use this functionality when:

Your company already has SCORM-based learning content
You want to centralise all training activities in Factorial
You need to track course completion and assessment results
You want to export detailed learning activity data for compliance or reporting purposes

How to use

Upload a SCORM package

In your sidebar, go to Trainings
Create a new training or open an existing one
Open the Content tab
Click Import SCORM Package
Upload the SCORM .zip file
Wait for the package to be processed

Once the upload is complete, the SCORM content will be available inside the training.

Preview the SCORM content

After processing:

Open the training content
Use the inline player to preview the course

Open the content in fullscreen mode for a complete preview experience

Assign learners to the training

Open the training
Add participants to the course
Learners will see the training in My Trainings

When learners start the course:

The SCORM player opens in fullscreen mode
Completion data syncs automatically back to Factorial
Pass/fail results are recorded automatically

For compliance and reporting, admins can export detailed data: scores, time spent, and launch history, from the Connectivity Logs export.

If the SCORM package does not upload, verify that the file is in .zip format, confirm the package uses SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 and try exporting the package again from the authoring tool.

If the SCORM content does not display correctly, confirm the package was exported correctly from the authoring tool and test the content directly in the source authoring tool if possible. Contact Support if display issues continue.

Tips and best practices

Make sure the SCORM package is uploaded as a .zip file
Test the course using the preview player before assigning learners
Use SCORM completion rules together with attendance and knowledge tests for more complete training tracking
Keep course names clear and consistent so learners can easily identify training content in My Trainings
