For customers looking to integrate Secure Code Warrior learning with their Learning Management System (LMS), we provide the ability to download Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) packages for your customizable Quests that can be imported into your LMS. This makes the process of integration simple and seamless, as the SCORM standard is supported by the majority of LMS platforms.
Once the integration is set up, program owners can leverage existing LMS features and processes for rollout, notifications, reminders, and non-compliance follow-up. Users will also have a consistent learning experience and a central place to go to for all their training needs.
Pre-Requisites
- A SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 compliant Learning Management System
Adding a Quest to your LMS
Step 1
Create an LMS-enabled Quest by following the steps in the How to Set Up Company Quests
Ensure you select the "LMS Quest" Option when you create the Quest.
IMPORTANT: In line with SCORM requirements, users must launch the Quest from the LMS for completion results to be reported back to the LMS. As a result, LMS Quests will not be included in Quest lists within the SCW platform for participants, and if a user navigates to an LMS-enabled Quest directly in the platform, a warning will be displayed.
| Platform Quest | LMS Quest |
| Accessible directly via UI | Not directly accessible via UI. Has to be launched from the LMS |
| Quest settings are fully defined in the platform | Some settings are managed by the LMS
|
| Learners can see all assigned quests in the "My "Quests page | Learners access each quest individually via the LMS links. No unified view of all assigned LMS Quests |
| Progress in other Quests/Explore/Learn can contribute to Quests completion | Progress in other Quests/Explore/Learn doesn't contribute to Quests completion |
Step 2
Now that you have created and published the Quest. Download the SCROM Package:
- Navigate to the Quest
- Click the "Download SCORM Package" button
Step 3
Import the downloaded SCORM package into your LMS. The process for this will vary significantly depending on the LMS you are using, so please seek assistance from your Learning and Development team or consult your LMS documentation for instructions on importing SCORM content.
When users launch the quest from the LMS, they will see the window shown in the screenshot below. They should keep this window open to allow Secure Code Warrior to sync the completion status with the LMS.
Tip: If users close the quest launcher window by mistake, they can simply relaunch the quest from the LMS, keep this window open, and navigate back to the quest. The status in the LMS will be updated.
FAQs

What is SCORM? |
Sharable Content Object Reference Model
|
| How much effort is needed to integrate? | Beyond creating the quests within the program, very little effort is required to integrate with an LMS. Simply download the SCORM package and upload it into your LMS. Your LMS will likely have additional configuration around assignments to users, notifications, reminders, and other options that your Learning & Development team should be able to help you with. |
| What behavior does it change? |
In line with SCORM requirements, users must launch the quest from the LMS for completion results to be reported back to the LMS. As a result, Quests that have been enabled for SCORM will not be included in Quest lists within the SCW platform for participants, and if a user navigates to a SCORM-enabled Quest directly in the platform, a warning will be displayed. To support the above requirements, an LMS Quest will have the following automatically set:
|
| Can we backfill results? | The SCORM standard does not encompass backfilling results of quests completed before the integration was available. However, this is possible through the use of our reporting API to generate data in a format that can be imported into your LMS or to call APIs provided by your LMS. In both cases, this will be specific to your LMS, so please consult the vendor documentation. |
| What are the metrics that will be provided? | Completion Status |
|
What version of SCORM will be supported? |
SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 |
| What are the technical requirements to use the LMS integration? | LMS platform that supports SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 |
| What information is exchanged between the LMS and SCW when using the SCORM LMS integration? | Basic learner information (learner ID and name) is sent from the LMS to SCW via SCORM. Note that the learner ID in this case is the ID within the LMS, which is generally opaque to SCW. Neither of these values is used by the SCW platform, as we require a current login session to access the quest. Completion data is sent back from SCW to the LMS upon finishing the quest. All data exchange is via SCORM and, therefore, is passed through the learner's browser, so no communications channel setup is needed directly between the LMS and SCW. |
