Export a course to SCORM 1.2 and 2004

Created by Carolina Martin, Modified on Thu, 11 Sep at 2:02 AM by Carolina Martin

Coursebox enables experts to export courses as in SCORM format, including 1.2 or 2004.

When you export a Coursebox course as SCORM, you’re packaging your Coursebox pages, media, and completion logic into a standard zip that any SCORM-compliant LMS can play. The learning experience is still powered by Coursebox—the player, navigation, and tracking behaviours come from Coursebox’s authoring and runtime—just delivered through your LMS.

Key things to know:

Edits after export: If you update the course in Coursebox, you’ll need to re-export and upload the new SCORM package into your LMS.
Branding: Your Coursebox styling and layout remain intact.
Tracking: Choose SCORM 1.2 (widely supported for completion/score) or SCORM 2004 (v3/v4) for advanced sequencing and bookmarking.

Export to SCORM

On the publish settings page, publish your course and click the share button to then select the version of SCORM required for upload to your LMS.

Note that this requires a published live sync to the course to take advantage of the AI and related live features.

Upload to Your LMS

Each LMS has slightly different steps for uploading SCORM packages.

NEW- Anonymous Users via SCORM (where enabled)

Coursebox supports anonymous user access via SCORM when hosted in external LMS environments. This means learners can launch and interact with Coursebox courses embedded in SCORM packages without requiring a Coursebox login.

Use case examples:

SCORM-based compliance training with no user registration
One-click access via corporate LMS with limited tracking

Note: This feature is only available when enabled by the Coursebox team. Contact support to learn more or activate anonymous SCORM session

Important Note on SCORM Integration:

Before exporting your course to SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004, please be aware that the SCORM integration requires an active account and a live, published course.

Active Account: To ensure seamless integration and usage of SCORM functionality, your account must be active. If your account is not active, the SCORM integration will not work properly.
Live and Published Courses: You cannot export to SCORM from a course that is still in draft or unpublished status. The course must be published and live in your account for the SCORM export to function correctly.
Do Not Cancel the Course: If you cancel or unpublish your course after exporting it to SCORM, the integration will stop working. The SCORM package will no longer be linked to the course, and updates or tracking will not be reflected. Always ensure the course remains live and published for continuous SCORM integration.

By following these guidelines, you ensure that your SCORM exports will continue to function properly, and your course data remains synced with your LMS.
