SCORM Files FAQs

The BYO SCORM (Bring Your Own SCORM) feature allows Safetrac clients to upload and manage their own SCORM-compliant training courseware within the Safetrac platform. This enables organisations to use custom or purchased SCORM files as part of their compliance training programs.

The feature addresses issues for clients who have SCORM-format compliance training courseware but lack a suitable Learning Management System (LMS) to run it. It provides a robust alternative to running SCORM content on an unsuitable or non-existent LMS.

The SCORM files must meet the following specifications:

• Compatible with SCORMcloud (SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004)
• Packaged in zip format
• 30MB or less in size

Clients can upload SCORM files developed in-house or purchased from other training providers, provided they meet the technical specifications.

The Safetrac SCORM reader supports the following test question types:

• Multiple choice (one answer from multiple options)
• Multi-select (one or multiple answers from one or multiple options)
• Text response
• True/False

SCORM files can be added to course modules created with the “SCORM” content type in the Learning area. The client administrator can decide where the testing location is, either within the SCORM training materials or managed via the Safetrac platform.

The Safetrac platform offers two options:

• SCORM: Test questions are built into the training materials and captured by the platform.
• Safetrac Platform: Test questions can be managed via the platform, with options for automated acknowledgment questions, pass/fail, or custom test questions created by the administrator.

Other options such as visibility of the training manual, course/training tags, and completion certificates are managed similarly to other BYO content on the Safetrac platform.
