Build the course in your browser, then send the client a SCORM package

Made for instructional designers and small studios whose clients expect a SCORM file, it runs entirely in the browser.

SCORM 1.2, xAPI and HTML export come with the free plan, and none of them carries a watermark
Because the player and its fonts travel inside the package, it plays without reaching our servers
Anyone can check a SCORM package from any tool here, with or without an account

Try a lesson in the course player

This is the player that goes into every package, and if you switch the width to Phone, the tabs in the lesson turn into an accordion just as they would on a learner's phone.

Handing over a course

How a course gets to the client

A typical project starts when you agree the lessons with the client, continues while you build them here, and ends with a zip that the client uploads to their LMS.

Settle the lessons and the pass mark with the client before the first block goes in, because changing them later means rebuilding what you made.

Who it is for

Freelancers who build courses for clients: You send the client a SCORM 1.2 or xAPI package, and since the project travels inside that zip, you can open it months later and carry on where you stopped.
Clients who want a look before the deadline: Send them a review link that opens in any browser and does not ask them to create an account first.
Companies whose LMS cannot reach the internet: The package loads nothing from outside and talks only to the LMS that launched it, which is what lets it run on an intranet that cannot reach the internet.

Import a Word, PowerPoint or Markdown file, or a course from Rise

Every top-level heading of a document becomes a lesson, as does every section of a presentation, and pictures stay where they were while questions with the right answer already marked turn into quiz blocks. A course exported from Rise as a standard package comes across block by block, with its text formatting, quizzes, scenarios and Storyline inserts, and is yours to edit from then on, whereas a connected package only points at a course that stays on Articulate's servers. Anything that could not come across, such as a comment or a footnote, appears in the import report, where you can see what to fix by hand.

Start your first course

Packages do not depend on our servers

Each package carries its own project file, which lets you reopen a course from the zip you delivered. Once it sits in the LMS, it loads nothing from our servers and reports only to the LMS or LRS that launched it. If you choose an updatable package, it still carries the whole course and plays without us; it only asks, once at launch, whether you have published a newer version, naming the course and never the learner.

How it compares with other tools

Desktop tools need a licence for every machine they run on, and several browser tools keep your course on their servers and charge extra for the SCORM file, whereas here the package downloads on any plan and stays yours.

Autosave and history

Every change is saved as you type and mirrored in your browser, which keeps you working through a dropped connection. Each block keeps 30 days of history, and you can download the whole account as one archive whenever you like.

Package checker

Drop in a zip from any authoring tool and the checker runs the course in your browser against a simulated LMS, listing what an LMS would reject and how to fix it without the file ever leaving your computer.

Graded tasks

Besides multiple choice there are true or false questions, typed answers, ordering, fill in the blanks and sentence building. Each task has its own pass mark and gives partial credit unless you turn that off, and the LMS report records the answers the learner actually gave.

Free and Author plans

Both plans export every format, and Author lifts the limits on courses, storage and client links.

Common questions

Will it work in my client's LMS?

Packages follow SCORM 1.2 or xAPI, the two standards LMSs are built to accept, and the package checker shows you before sending one whether an LMS will take it.

What happens to my courses if this service closes?

Courses you have already delivered keep working, because a package never calls our servers, and you can download your whole account as one archive at any time.

Can I change a course after I have delivered it?

Yes: edit it in your account and export it again, or, when all you still have is the zip you sent, open that zip in the editor, because the project is stored inside.

Is there a watermark on the free plan?

No, the free plan exports every format without a watermark, although it holds at most 3 courses, 500 MB of files and 1 client link.

Where is my work kept?

Your work is kept in your account on our server, and while you edit, a copy also stays in your browser to protect it from a closed tab or a dropped connection.
