Which SCORM versions are supported?

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. The player exposes the APIs the content expects and persists CMI state server-side.

Does a failed SCORM module still issue the certificate?

No. A SCORM module that finished but failed stays in progress: the learner can retake it, and it does not count toward the completion required for the certificate.

What if the upload fails with a manifest error?

Check that the ZIP contains an `imsmanifest.xml` at the root and that the manifest points to a valid launch URL. Most authoring tools (Storyline, Rise, iSpring) export conformant packages, re-export from the source tool if the error persists.

Can the learner resume where they left off?

Yes. The CMI state (position, resume data) is persisted server-side on each SCORM commit. On the next open, the player restores exactly the previous state.

Import a SCORM package

Upload e-learning content built with Storyline, Rise or iSpring: Certeef handles SCORM 1.2 and 2004, CMI tracking and resume.

The SCORM lesson type lets you host e-learning content produced with market tools (Storyline, Rise, iSpring…) without rebuilding it in Certeef.

Prerequisites

Admin role.
An existing course with at least one module. See Create an online course.
A .zip SCORM 1.2 or 2004 file exported from your authoring tool.

1. Add a SCORM lesson

In your course, add a lesson and select the SCORM type.

2. Upload the package

Drop the .zip file exported by your authoring tool:

The browser reads the imsmanifest.xml manifest to detect the version (1.2 or 2004) and the launch URL.
The files are uploaded to Certeef storage.
A progress bar shows during the transfer.

Important: any manifest error (missing file, invalid XML) is shown on screen. Re-export from the source tool with default SCORM settings.

3. Progress tracking (CMI)

During playback, Certeef exposes the SCORM APIs the content expects and persists CMI state: status, completion, success, score, position and resume data. The learner resumes where they left off.

Tip: the SCORM score feeds the course aggregate score, which can condition certificate issuance.

4. From SCORM to certification

The CMI status is translated into lesson progress and feeds automatic certification. A terminal but failed SCO stays “in progress”, the learner can retake it.

What’s next?

Automatic certification and learner tracking : define certificate issuance conditions.
Quizzes and exercises : complement SCORM with native assessments.
