SCORM export

How to export a Coassemble course as a SCORM package, and the difference between dynamic and standalone SCORM.

You can export a course as a SCORM package to upload into your own LMS or any environment that supports SCORM. Coassemble supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. Dynamic SCORM, which keeps a live link to Coassemble, is the standard export. Standalone SCORM is arranged by negotiation, so talk to the Coassemble team if you need it.

How do I export a SCORM package?

  1. Open the Share dialog from a course card or the top of the editor.
  2. Select the Export SCORM tab.
  3. Choose the format: SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004.
  4. Choose the type. Dynamic is the standard option.
  5. Set where it can run (see below), then select Export SCORM file to download it and upload it to your LMS. The system will process the package, and the button will update with a checkmark to indicate the file is ready.

What's the difference between dynamic and standalone SCORM?

Dynamic SCORM keeps a live connection to Coassemble. Edits you make in Coassemble update automatically for learners, with no re-export or re-upload. It requires an active Coassemble subscription to keep working. This is the standard SCORM export.

Standalone SCORM is a self-contained ZIP that is static and runs with no connection back to Coassemble, which suits an air-gapped environment or content that has to keep working independently. To update it you edit in Coassemble, export a new package, and replace the file in your LMS. Standalone SCORM is arranged by negotiation, so talk to the Coassemble team if you need it.

Standalone greyed out? It isn't enabled for your workspace. Dynamic SCORM is the standard export. Contact us if you have questions about your setup.

How do I control where my SCORM can run?

For dynamic SCORM, you can protect your content by setting where it's allowed to run:

  • Anywhere: runs on any LMS.
  • Only sites I choose: add approved domains to an allowlist (enter the full URL, including https://).
  • Nowhere: disables the package so it can't be launched.

Changing these settings affects all previously downloaded packages for that course.

How do translations work in a SCORM package?

If your course has translations, the SCORM package respects them: learners get the course in the language that matches their environment, the same way translations behave in Coassemble. Re-export and replace the package in your LMS after adding or changing translations so the latest versions are included. Dynamic packages stay linked and update automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Can everyone export standalone SCORM?

No. Dynamic SCORM is the standard export and is the option to use in almost all cases. Standalone SCORM is arranged by negotiation, so talk to the Coassemble team if you need it.

Will my LMS get my latest changes automatically?

With dynamic SCORM, yes. Edits flow through the live connection, so learners always see the current version with no re-export or re-upload.

Which SCORM formats are supported?

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.
