The SCORM module enables course editors to upload any SCORM 1.2 or AICC package to a  a Moodle course. Note that SCORM 2004 is not supported 

...

If you decide to use a SCORM (or AICC) in Moodle, you need to first obtain the SCORM or AICC package as a zip file. This will have a .zip extension and is a collection of multiple files condensed into a single "zipped" file.

Meeting the baseline

The UCL E-Connected Learning Baseline suggests the following for  Resources category suggests that you . You should: 

• 5.1 Use descriptive titles for all items and consider displaying the item's description on the course homepage, as this helps students understand the purpose of the activity or resource.

• 5.2 Provide learning resources - Provide resources such as presentation slides, notes or handouts.   See which file Which format to use when. UCL should I use for my document in Moodle? UCL policy is to provide lecture materials 48 hours in advance. 

• 5.4 Check resources  regularly - Regularly fix Fix or remove broken hyperlinks (URLs) and check that all resources are up-to-date before releasing these to students.

Caution

...

If you are having problems viewing a SCORM package in Moodle, then it is most likely down to one or more of these four things.

1. The issues could be browser related. Testing carried out by Digital Education on 23 Sept. 2015 showed that SCORM packages in Moodle might have display issues with Internet Explorer and Safari, and will not have scroll options within the package in these browsers. If this is the case then we recommend trying the latest version of either Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
    
2. In addition to number 1 above, there could be an issue with screen size. If you are using a smaller screen, for example a laptop, then you may have problems accessing the full package without scrolling. Hiding the side menu may help in these situations. To do this simply click the arrow (that looks like < ) in the left hand corner near the top of the SCORM package. 
    
3. Some SCORM packages require Java to work. In which case, please ensure you have downloaded and installed, or enabled Java on the machine you are using. 
   1. Download from Java.com
   2. Use the Java test pages to verify if Jave Java is enabled.
       
      
   Some SCORM packages require Adobe Flash Player, (a free browser plug-in that is used for playing videos, animations and games), to make them work. In which case, please ensure that you have either enabled it in the Internet browser you are using, or download and installed it. You may download it here:
   1.  
   https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  
4. If it isn't number 1, 2, or 3 or 4, then the final options option is that the version of SCORM being used is incompatible with Moodle. If this is the case then you will need to contact the person whose course it is, or the person who created the package (if it is your course) and request the they send you the SCORM package as version 1.2, as this is the only version compatible with Moodle. You will then need to upload this version to Moodle for it to work.
