โฑ๏ธ The Essentials in 3 Minutes
โ€‹
โ€ข How to import an existing SCORM module into a Didask project.
โ€ข How to enable evaluation mode to track a score (SCORM 2004 only).
โ€ข Why to replace a package rather than delete it, to preserve statistics.

โ€ข If your project is multilingual, you can import a separate SCORM package for each language.


๐Ÿง  Understand the Instructional Value

Learners benefit from following a coherent course rather than switching between multiple tools. Importing existing SCORM content into Didask lets you bring together, within a single training thread, content you've already produced and native Didask modules.

๐Ÿ“Œ Example: Regulatory onboarding. You have a compliance module in SCORM format, provided by your legal team. By importing it into Didask, you slot it between your Didask adaptive modules. The learner follows a single course, and you track their progress across everything from Didask.

๐Ÿ’ก Also useful for migrating old SCORM modules, or for integrating partner content without breaking the learner experience.


โš™๏ธ Importing My SCORM Module

  1. On your project page, click Add a module > SCORM.

  2. Import your package in ZIP format.

  3. Your SCORM appears in the project as a granule. Click the eye icon to the right of the file to preview it.

  4. If needed, you can re-download the package from the module page.

โ„น๏ธ Didask is compatible with SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.

โš ๏ธ Prerequisite: Add an exit button to your SCORM package. Most authoring tools (Storyline, Captivate, Geniallyโ€ฆ) allow you to insert a "Quit" button. Without it, the learner will not be able to return to the Didask course from inside the module.


๐ŸŒ Import a package per language

If your project has multiple languages, each SCORM module can have its own package per language. Learners automatically see the package in their language, and fall back to the main language if no package has been imported for theirs yet.

  • Switch to translation mode and import the package for the target language.

  • The main language package remains untouched.

  • Deleting the main language package also removes all associated translations.


๐Ÿ“Š Tracking Progress and Completion

An imported SCORM module works like a standard Didask module: it has only two states.

State

When does it apply?

Not completed (0%)

As long as an SCO in the package has not been passed or completed.

Completed (100%)

When every SCO (step in the package) has been passed or completed.


๐ŸŽฏ Enabling Evaluation Mode (with Score)

By default, an imported SCORM module has no notion of pass or fail: it is simply completed or not. To track a score, enable evaluation mode.

  1. Create a new SCORM module in your project.

  2. Enable the Enable evaluation settings option.

  3. Set the minimum required score (in %), matching the one configured in your authoring tool.

  4. Import the SCORM package.

  5. Publish the module in a course.

  6. Track scores in the statistics.

What you get:

  • A score visible in the course statistics, just like a native evaluation module.

  • The per-learner score available when downloading results.


๐Ÿ”„ Replacing vs. Deleting a Package: Impact on Your Data

Action

Learner data

Replace the package (re-import)

Preserved

Delete the module (via the three-dot menu)

Lost

๐Ÿ’ก If you want to fix or update content without losing statistics, replace the package rather than deleting and recreating the module.

๐ŸŒ Deleting a translated language package only removes that language, affected learners automatically fall back to the main language package.


โ‰๏ธ Frequently Asked Questions

My module is stuck at 0% completion, why?

Completion only moves to 100% when all SCOs in the package have been passed or completed. Check in your authoring tool that each step is correctly sending a completion status to the LMS.

Which SCORM versions are supported for import?

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. For evaluation mode, only SCORM 2004 is supported at this time.

Can I change the minimum score after the module has been created?

No, the minimum score is set at module creation. To change it, you need to create a new module.

If I replace my package, do I lose the statistics?

No. Only deleting the module erases learner data. A replacement preserves the history.

Can the learning assistant read the content available in the SCORM module?

The learning assistant cannot read SCORM modules integrated into a Didask course or answer questions about that content.
