CREATE ONLINE COURSES

Creating online courses is the process of developing digital training to be delivered through the internet.

When you create an online course, you transform an experience or educational knowledge into a structured digital format accessible through the internet, allowing students to acquire skills autonomously or through guided learning.

Creating online courses involves structuring digital educational content such as videos, lessons, assessments, or live sessions, and publishing them on an e-learning platform so students can access them.

What is the SCORM standard used for?

  • Interoperability: You can move your content from one LMS platform to another without losing data or formatting. 
  • Tracking: It provides statistics and student progress tracking, allowing you to know whether the student accessed the course, how long they stayed connected, and whether they passed the exam.
  • Reusability: The same SCORM package can be used across different courses.

SCORM Versions

  1. SCORM 1.2: The most widely used version, with basic student progress tracking. 
  2. SCORM 2004: Adds advanced sequencing and navigation rules.

Example of How to Create and Sell a SCORM Course

You can create a course in PowerPoint and export it to a SCORM format using a tool like SCORM Hero. This SCORM file (1.2 or 2004) can then be uploaded to an e-learning platform such as  ClassOnLive and sold as a complete course. The student completes it, and ClassOnLive provides you with results such as whether the course was completed, the score obtained on the test, and how many minutes the student stayed connected.

If you are looking for a platform that reliably reads your e-learning ZIP files without errors, ClassOnLive's infrastructure ensures smooth loading and compatibility with international standards.
