About the SCORM tool in Canvas

On this page:

Overview

Canvas provides a simple SCORM player that can be used with a variety of SCORM packages. With the Canvas SCORM tool, you can upload SCORM packages into a course and use them as either graded or ungraded assignments.

Note:
The Canvas SCORM tool can play SCORM content and, if you wish, return a score to the Canvas gradebook. It does not provide reports on other tracking that may occur within the SCORM package, regardless of how the SCORM package is set up.

Add the SCORM tool to your course navigation

SCORM is hidden by default.

To add a hidden tool to your course navigation menu, see How do I manage Course Navigation links?

Use the SCORM tool

  1. From your course navigation menu, select SCORM.
  2. At the upper right, choose Upload.
  3. Select the .zip file containing your SCORM package. It may take several seconds to upload the file, depending on its size; a progress bar will indicate upload status. When the process is complete, the new upload may appear at the bottom of your list of SCORM packages.
  4. From the Choose import type... drop-down menu, choose to import as either a graded or ungraded assignment. Choose Go.
  5. Navigate to the Assignments tool and find the new assignment. Edit the assignment to add necessary instructions, point value, due date, and so on. Do not change anything in the "Submission Type" field.
  6. Choose Save, and then select Publish to publish the assignment.

Your students will access the SCORM object via the Assignments tool. If you have made it a graded assignment, students' scores on the assignment will appear in the gradebook.
