Sharing your Story as a SCORM package

Updated yesterday

You can now export any Story from We Are Learning as a SCORM package. We support both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, with tracking for:

Who can use SCORM export?

SCORM export is available for Enterprise plan customers only. Read more.

Here is how you do it:

  1. Click Share and then Publish and share.

2. Toggle on Publish Story, click SCORM

From here you can pick which SCORM version to use and configure the export options.

  • SCORM 1.2: Best if your LMS is older or only supports SCORM 1.2.

  • SCORM 2004: Recommended if your LMS supports it and your organisation prefers SCORM 2004 for consistency.

If you’re unsure which to use, your LMS admin or vendor will usually recommend a “default” SCORM version for all content.

Once chosen which version, click Download.

Once that is done you can go ahead and upload the SCORM file to your LMS.

In your LMS:

  • Create a new SCORM course/activity.

  • Upload the ZIP file you just exported.

  • Configure attempts, grading and visibility as you normally do for SCORM content.

Enrol learners and let them start the Story from within the LMS. If you later update the Story in We Are, the SCORM activity in the LMS will automatically use the updated content

Dynamic SCORM packages

A key advantage of We Are’s SCORM export is that the package is dynamic:

  • Once you’ve exported and uploaded the SCORM package to your LMS, any later edits you make to the Story in We Are are automatically reflected the next time learners launch the SCORM activity. In other words, you do not need to re-export or re-upload the package every time you tweak content.

This is especially useful when:

  • You correct typos or update minor details.

  • You need to adjust content quickly after feedback.

💡 Note: Some LMSs or browsers may cache content. If learners don’t see changes immediately, ask them to refresh or clear cache, or check if the LMS has a “rebuild” or “clear cache” option for SCORM activities.


FAQs

Do I need to re-export a new SCORM package after editing my Story?

  • No. SCORM exports from We Are are dynamic. As long as you’re using the same export, edits to the Story will automatically be reflected the next time learners launch it.

Which SCORM version should I pick?

  • Use whatever your LMS and organisation recommend. If there is no preference:

  • Choose SCORM 1.2 for maximum compatibility with older LMSs.

  • Choose SCORM 2004 if your LMS supports it and you want to align with more modern SCORM implementations.
