SCORM 1.2 and xAPI packages
Play SCORM 1.2 and xAPI (Tin Can) courses bought from content makers or exported from your authoring tool, as lessons in your own courses. Their progress, score and place are kept, and the lesson is done when the package says so.

The problem it solves
- You bought ready courses as SCORM packages and have nowhere to play them.
- Content made in an authoring tool lives outside your LMS, so its scores never reach your records.
- Learners have to start a long package again from the beginning each time.
How it works
- Add a lesson of kind Package (SCORM / xAPI) and, on its Package tab, upload the zip, up to 500 MB.
- SmartMy Learn reads the zip: SCORM 1.2 from imsmanifest.xml, or xAPI from tincan.xml, with its title and the page it starts at.
- Set Score to Pass if the package's score should decide; 0 leaves it to the package saying completed or passed.
- Learners open the lesson and the package plays in the player. Its place and saved data are kept, so it resumes next time.
- When the package reports completed or passed, and the score is high enough, the lesson is done. Results show in Reporting > Packages and Tools > Package Results.
Everything it does
Uploading
- One zip per lesson, up to 500 MB
- SCORM 1.2: imsmanifest.xml; the first SCO is the start page
- xAPI (Tin Can): tincan.xml; the activity's launch page and id
- Package Kind, Package Title, Starts At and xAPI Activity are filled in from the zip
- A zip with neither file is refused with the reason
SCORM 1.2 while playing
- Lesson status, location, suspend data, raw and maximum score, and time are kept per learner
- The package gets the learner's id and name, and resumes where it stopped
- Saved data up to 64 KB per learner and lesson
xAPI while playing
- Each package lesson has its own small statement store, with the learner as the actor
- Statements completed, passed and failed and their score are read; the package's state is kept
- The count of statements and the last one are kept per learner
Done and results
- Done when the status is completed or passed and the score reaches Score to Pass (0: any score)
- Package Results: per learner, status, score %, time and statements
- Course authors, editors and Learn Managers can open the package to check it
- Packages travel with the course in a course package export

Questions
Which package standards do you play?
SCORM 1.2 and xAPI (Tin Can). SCORM 2004 and AICC are not supported, so export from your authoring tool as SCORM 1.2 or xAPI.Does the learner resume where they stopped?
Yes. The package's location and saved data are kept per learner, so it opens where they left off.Can a package's score decide whether the lesson is done?
