What Is the SCORM Element?
(See screenshot below)
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a widely used standard for packaging interactive e-learning content. It ensures your course modules can be reused across platforms — making it ideal for simulations, assessments, and third-party learning packages.
With Teachfloor’s SCORM element, you can seamlessly upload and deliver SCORM 1.2 and 2004-compliant files to your learners, with tracking support and full interactivity.
⚡ Don’t Have a SCORM File Yet?
No problem! Teachfloor provides free native SCORM converters to help you transform your existing training material into fully compatible SCORM packages — no technical knowledge required.
✅ Convert Your Files to SCORM:
💡 These tools let you build SCORM courses from your own documents and videos in just a few clicks — no external software needed.
➕ How to Add a SCORM Element

⚙️ Basic Element Settings
Like all content elements in Teachfloor, the SCORM element includes General, Requirements, Visibility, and Metadata settings.
👉 To avoid repetition, we’ve detailed those shared configurations in a separate article:
If you’re new to setting up elements, we recommend reviewing that article first. Then return here for specific SCORM guidance.
🎯 SCORM-Specific Settings
(See screenshot below)
After you’ve configured the general settings, scroll down to the SCORM Settings section — this is where the core functionality of this element lives.
1. 📤 Upload SCORM File
(See screenshot below)
Upload your .zip SCORM package directly.
Setting | Details |
Supported Versions | SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 |
File Format |
|
Max File Size | 2GB |
Upload Method | Drag-and-drop or click to browse your computer |
The SCORM file must include a valid imsmanifest.xml in the root folder.
2. 🆔 Student ID Identifier
(See screenshot below)
Choose how Teachfloor identifies the learner inside the SCORM tracking system.
User ID – Unique identifier generated by Teachfloor.
Email Address – Learner’s registered email.
This is used by the SCORM API to personalize progress and reporting within the module.
3. 🖼 Aspect Ratio
(See screenshot below)
Define how the SCORM module will display to learners.
Option | Use Case |
4:3 | Best for legacy content or fixed screen sizes |
16:9 | Ideal for modern widescreens and video-based content |
Custom | Optional advanced configuration via CSS or container overrides |
🧠 Tip: If unsure, start with 16:9 for the most universal compatibility.
👀 Learner View
Once published:
The SCORM content appears embedded in the course.
Learners can launch full-screen (if supported by the SCORM package).
Progress tracking is handled internally by the SCORM engine.
