What is SCORM?
The Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) has been an established technology standard for quite some time, with its most widely used version dating back to 2004. SCORM provides a customizable content package that can be created and managed through a third-party content provider tool as lesson content.
A SCORM file is a web package that consists of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, used for the creation of interactive lessons that can contain a large library of learning objects, including quizzes and videos. Put simply, SCORM encompasses the technical standards necessary for seamless communication and utilization of learning content within your training site.
Does Thinkific support Tin Can API or AICC reporting?
Thinkific can host content created using third-party authoring tools that utilize Tin Can and AICC with limitations when it comes to reporting.
If you are already using third-party authoring tools that utilize Tin Can API or AICC reporting, you can upload your content using Multimedia lessons, as long as they are converted for Web. However, this isn’t necessary - we have helped hundreds of Thinkific Plus customers successfully package up and present their training content on our platform using a variety of flexible solutions. If you’re interested in hearing more about some of these available methods on Thinkific Plus, please reach out to us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include Articulate, Storyline, Rise, or iSpring content in a Thinkific course without SCORM reporting?
Yes! If you do not want to create SCORM-compliant courses and have modules created using tools like Articulate, Storyline, or iSpring they can be used in Thinkific as long as they are converted for Web (HTML5). Read instructions on adding this content to Thinkific.
What type of reporting is available in Thinkific if I convert my Articulate, Storyline, Rise, or iSpring content to HTML5?
If you convert your content to HTML5 and host it in Thinkific, you will be able to use our built-in reporting. Our reporting is focused on progress through the course, which includes overall lesson views and completion.
You will not be able to report on specific activity within a single lesson, e.g. when a student clicks interactive HTML5 content. However, we have many reporting options measuring engagement at the overall lesson and course level! You can learn more about our reporting options here:
