Zipped SCORM package folders can often exceed the maximum file upload size on Moodle, making it difficult for course owners to easily set up or update their scorm based content.
Please note SCORM packages are not supported by UCL Digital Education team.
Who can use it?
Staff can request Digital Education to upload large files for them.
