What Is SCORM?
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a standard format for e-learning content. If your organisation has built courses in external authoring tools such as Articulate, iSpring, Adobe Captivate, or similar, you can export them as SCORM packages and import them directly into Lumofy — without rebuilding the content.
Lumofy tracks Talent progress and completion using its own tracking method. Once a Talent finishes the SCORM course, their completion is recorded in Lumofy the same way as any other content type.
How to Import a SCORM Course
Step 1: Start Course Creation
Go to Develop → Content Builder
Click Add New in the top right corner
Select Course from the dropdown
In the modal that appears, click Import a SCORM3
Step 2: Course Details
Fill in the course information — this is identical to the Content Builder flow:
Course's Name — the title Talents will see
Description — a summary of what the course covers
Objectives — add up to 40 learning objectives
💡 Tip: Click + Add Arabic Language if you want the course metadata (name, description, objectives) to also appear in Arabic.
Click Next to continue.
Step 3: Upload the SCORM File
The Content Builder step is replaced by the Course Content upload screen.
Click or drag your SCORM file into the upload area
Wait for the upload to complete
File requirements:
Format: SCORM package file (typically exported as a .zip from your authoring tool)
Maximum file size: 500 MB
Single file only
After a successful upload, the uploaded file is shown in the upload area. If you need to replace it, click the file to remove it and upload a new one.
Click Next to continue to Course Configuration.
Step 4: Course Configuration
This step is identical to the Content Builder flow. Set:
Level — difficulty level
Duration — estimated completion time in minutes
Accreditation Type / Units (optional)
Issue a certificate upon completion — toggle on if needed
Competencies (optional) — link to competencies the course develops
Categories (optional) — for discovery and organisation
Resources (optional) — attach supporting files or links
Cover (optional) — JPG, PNG, or SVG thumbnail (max 2 MB)
Branding — Primary Color (Default or Custom)
Publishing Your SCORM Course
At the bottom of the Course Configuration step:
Save as Draft — saves the course without making it visible to Talents
Next — publishes the course and makes it available to assign or add to Pathways
⚠️ Note: A course must be published before it can be assigned to Talents or added to a Pathway.
How Completion Is Tracked
Lumofy tracks Talent progress and completion using its own method. When a Talent completes the SCORM course, their completion is recorded in Lumofy — the same way as any other course type. Progress is visible in the Content Builder enrolment view and in any Pathway the course is part of.
