SCORM

Upload SCORM Assignment

1. In Course Navigation, click the SCORM link.

2. In the top right-hand corner, click the Upload button.

3. Locate the file and click the Open button. 

4. Once the file has loaded (you will see a progress bar), click the Choose Import Type drop-down menu. Choose to import the SCORM file as a graded assignment [1] or ungraded assignment [2].

Note: Choosing graded or ungraded when importing a SCORM file is permanent and cannot be changed in Canvas. If you import a SCORM file as an ungraded assignment, the assignment will not be worth points and will not display a grade for students.

5. 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 edit assignment details, click the Assignment icon.

You can also view the assignment in the Assignments page. Once a SCORM package has been imported, the assignment can be moved to an assignment group, added to modules, or managed like any other assignment in Canvas.

Preview File

If you want to preview the SCORM content to see how students will view the assignment, click the Preview icon.

If you complete the assignment in the preview, Canvas will update the score to display how the score [1] appears to students. All package uploads default to 100 points. To reset the test content, click the Reset button [2]. When you are finished with the preview, click the Done button [3].

Delete File

To delete a SCORM file, click the Delete icon.

Note: If you delete a SCORM assignment from the Assignments page, the assignment will still appear on the SCORM page, and if you try to open the assignment, Canvas will generate an error. However, if you delete the assignment from the SCORM page, the assignment will also be deleted from all other applicable Canvas locations.

You can import ZIP files to Canvas through Files or Course Settings.

Through Course Settings, you must upload the ZIP file to an existing folder in Files. You cannot create new folders through the Course Import Tool.

ZIP files containing internal folder structure retain that folder structure upon upload.

If you do not know how to create a ZIP file, please consult your computer operating system's user guide.

Notes:

• If you are using Usage Rights, you must set the file usage rights before the files can be published.
• Canvas does not support file uploads larger than 5 GB.
