How to test a third-party SCORM file

We recommend testing the file before sharing with your users. Below are some ways to uncover possible errors.

1. Select View as learner in the Learning Path sidebar:


2. Assign the uploaded SCORM file to a pilot user or group or to you

3. Complete half of the module and close it. Reopen, and you should arrive at the same place you closed it

4. Complete the module (deliberately fail it if possible)

5. Check the training records to view the status

6. If the assessment comes with a score, check if it’s tracked in your training records
