SCORM files can be used to upload assignments and as pages in your course. SCORM is a technical standard for many e-learning products and is often used to create course content.
If you would like to add a SCORM file to your Canvas course, you must enable the SCORM tool. First, you must navigate to your course settings and select the Navigation menu. Locate the SCORM tool from the disabled list and move it up to the current course menu list. Save your changes, and you will be able to start importing your SCORM files.
Select the SCOREM course menu item
Click the Upload button
Select the file from your computer and click the Open button
Once the file is uploaded, select the object import type. Click the Choose Import Type menu and select an option. You can import the file as a graded assignment, an ungraded assignment, or a page.
NOTE: The import type selected when importing a SCORM file is permanent and cannot be changed in Canvas. If a SCORM file is uploaded as an ungraded assignment, the assignment is not worth points, the assignment is not added to the grade book, and students cannot earn a grade for the assignment.
Import File
Click the Go button.
Note: If content does not immediately load, your LTI tool may need to be reconfigured. Please contact your admin for assistance.
View File
To view the assignment in Canvas or to edit assignment details, click the Assignment icon.
View in Assignments
Imported SCORM assignments also display on the Assignments Index page. Once imported, you can move the assignment to an assignment group and add it as a module item.
Preview File
To preview the uploaded content, click the Preview icon.
Preview File
SCORM assignment previews display the files they appear for students in your course. By default, the file preview displays a No Score label [1]. However, if you complete the assignment in preview mode, the display changes to reflect an earned score.
To reset the test content, click the Reset button [2].
To close the preview window, click the Done button [3].
Note: All SCORM uploads default to 100 points possible.
Delete File
To delete a SCORM file, click the Delete icon.
Note: If you delete a SCORM assignment in the Assignments page, you can still view the assignment on the SCORM page. Clicking the Assignment icon generates an error. However, if you delete the assignment in the SCORM page, the assignment is also deleted from all other applicable Canvas locations.
