How to work with SCORM packages on the platform

The TinQwise Growth platform supports SCORM activities as well as content from the TinQwise Content Builder. A SCORM is seen as a activity and therefore exists on the same level as learning bites, assignments, exams, et cetera. That means it can be placed in a journey or can easily be accessed via a featured activities slider or spotlighted activity on the discovery stream.

๐Ÿ’ก Good to know before you start

File naming is very important when working with SCORM files on the platform. Make sure your zip file has no spaces or periods in its name. If you have several SCORM files that each contain the same activity in a different language, use an underscore and the language code at the end of the file name. For example:

  • GdprActivity_en.zip

  • GdprActivity_fr.zip

When you then select the right language when uploading the file, the platform understands this should be one activity with different languages. It's similar to having a activity from the TinQwise Content Builder available in English and French. If the user changes their language, the SCORM activity will be shown in a different language too.

If your SCORM package contains all languages and allows the user to select one after opening it, choose 'Use for all languages' at step 4 below.

๐Ÿ“– How to upload your SCORM package

  1. In Control, go to Content > Activities.

  2. Click 'Upload external content' in the top right corner.

  3. Select the .zip file on your computer.

  4. Choose the language this SCORM file should be used for.

  5. Click 'upload file'. Depending on the size, it takes a bit of time to upload.

  6. After your upload is done, find your activity under Content > Activities and click it.

  7. Click the pencil in the top right corner to adjust the title (you can add spaces now), add an image for the activity tile and set the duration.
    You can also give your activity a label, similar to other activity formats which all have their own label shown on the bottom of the activity tile. The standard icon is a book, similar to the learning bite icon.

โ“ Already uploaded your SCORM package, but want to make adjustments?

If you want to update your SCORM package, you can always replace it with a newer version. Make sure the file name is exactly the same as the previous version you uploaded. Then follow step 1 to 5. With the same file name, the platform understands it needs to overwrite the existing version, instead of creating a new activity. This way any attached widgets or automations stay intact. However, the title as shown to users may have been overwritten, so please check that and adjust if necessary.
