Use Cases & Tips

How do I add content pages from SCORM-files?

You can create interactive pages as learning tracks using H5p, for example, and embed them in Canvas WU as content pages. Follow these steps to insert a SCORM file as a content page in Canvas WU:

1. Enable SCORM under Settings and Navigation in the course's page navigation - at least temporarily.
2. Upload the SCORM file as a zip file.
3. Select Import as page as the import type (see screenshot).
4. Add the page you just created to a module.

NOTE: The following versions are supported in Canvas WU: SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (2nd, 2nd, and 3rd editions). More information about SCORM can be found in the Canvas Instructure Guide. (see How do I import SCORM files as a page?)

Students will see the page content, if/when they are eligible, as follows (see screenshot):

How do I add assignments from SCORM files?

For example, you can use H5P to create interactive pages as learning tracks and embed them as an assignment in Canvas WU. Follow these steps to add an assignment created from a SCORM file to Canvas WU:

1. Enable SCORM under Settings and Navigation in the course's side navigation - at least temporarily.
2. Upload SCORM file as a zip file.
3. Select either Import as Graded Assignment or Import as Ungraded Assignment as the import type.
4. Then add the assignment to a module.

ATTENTION: By selecting the import type you define how the SCORM file will be displayed. These settings cannot be changed later. If you want a different display type, you have to upload the SCORM file again and change the import type accordingly.

Importing a SCORM file as an ungraded assignment will create an assignment with 0 points, a percentage grade, and unlimited attempts. These settings can be changed later using the Edit assignment settings.

Importing a SCORM file as a graded item will create an item with 100 points, a percentage grade and unlimited attempts (see screenshot). These settings can be changed by clicking on Edit assignment settings. The grade will be displayed in SpeedGrader and Gradebook.

NOTE: SCORM files are viewed with external applications in Canvas WU and do not reside as a file under Canvas WU files, meaning they do not take up space in the course and cannot be downloaded directly from the course. It is recommended that SCORM files also be saved outside of Canvas WU, e.g. in Planet eStream WU under Associated Media.

Assignments from SCORM files can be copied, shared, and imported just like any other assignment.

Wo?	Was?	Wozu?	Wie?
SCORM	Mandatory PowerPoint Slides	Enable individualised learning	Embed your presentation materials (e.g. PowerPoint slides) as a SCORM assignment and work with the requirements in a module. Students must then click through the entire pages and can check which page they have reached. Only after they have completed the presentation will additional module or course content be unlocked.
SCORM	Interactive videos	Enable individualised learning	Use open source materials or create your own interactive videos e.g. with Lumi. Students click through the video and can, for example, edit HotSpot questions or make choices that decide what happens next in the video.
SCORM	Interactive scripts	Enable individualised learning	Convert your scripts into interactive scripts using a tool like Adapt(open source) or H5P(open source), where students can click through dynamic learning tracks individually.
