What is a SCORM Package?

The SCORM module enables you (the teacher) to upload any SCORM or AICC package to include in your course. Moodle does not generate scorm content. Moodle presents the content in SCORM packages to learners, and saves data from learner interactions with the SCORM package. A SCORM package is a collection of files that are packaged according to an agreed standard for learning objects. The SCORM activity module enables SCORM or AICC packages to be uploaded as a zip file and added to a course. Content is usually displayed over several pages, with navigation between the pages. There are various options for displaying content in a pop-up window, with a table of contents, with navigation buttons etc. SCORM activities generally include questions, with grades being recorded in the gradebook. SCORM activities may be used:

• For presenting multimedia content and animations
• As an assessment tool 
• To create SCORM/AICC-compliant content you would need an authoring tool (sold separately). The two most popular authoring tools currently are Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline 3 or Articulate 360. However, they do cost a significant amount of money. If you wanted to try something out without committing to buy, then go for iSpring Free. It is a Windows-based application that allows you to convert PowerPoint presentations into SCORM/AICC content.
