SCORM that actually works.

Q: Which SCORM versions does Hotline LMS support?

Hotline LMS has full runtime support for SCORM 1.2 on every plan and SCORM 2004 on Professional plans and above. SCORM 1.2 covers the large majority of corporate training content; SCORM 2004 adds sequencing, navigation, and a larger data model when you need them.

Q: How do I upload a SCORM course?

You drag and drop the SCORM ZIP into your course. Hotline LMS extracts it, parses the imsmanifest.xml to find the entry point, validates that referenced files exist, and makes the course playable. There is no manual configuration step.

Q: What data does Hotline LMS track from SCORM content?

Completion and pass/fail status, raw and scaled scores, time spent per session and in total, resume position (bookmarking), and the content's own suspend data. SCORM 2004 packages can additionally report question-level interactions. All of it appears in your admin analytics.

Q: Will learner progress survive a browser crash or lost connection?

Yes. Progress is committed to the server when the content requests it and auto-saved every 60 seconds as a fallback, so an interrupted session is not lost. Learners resume exactly where they left off.

Q: Can I move my existing SCORM courses from another LMS?

In almost all cases, yes. SCORM is a portable standard, so the same package that runs on your current platform will run on Hotline LMS. Migration is typically just re-uploading the ZIP files; learner records are imported separately.

Q: How large a SCORM package can I upload?

Up to 2 GB per ZIP, which comfortably covers courses with embedded video. You do not need to compress or split large packages before uploading.

Upload a SCORM ZIP and your course is ready to launch. Full SCORM 1.2 and 2004 runtime compliance. No configuration, no debugging, no surprises.

SCORM hosting means storing your e-learning packages and playing them back so they track properly: completion, scores, time spent, and where each learner left off. The hard part is never the storage; it is the runtime. SCORM content talks to the platform through a specific JavaScript interface, and if any part of that handshake is missing or slow, courses appear to load but silently fail to record progress. That is the failure mode that turns a compliance programme into a guessing game.

Hotline LMS implements the full SCORM 1.2 and 2004 runtime, so the packages you exported from Articulate Storyline, Rise, Adobe Captivate, iSpring, or Lectora behave exactly as their authors intended. You upload a ZIP, we parse the manifest and validate it, and the course is live with tracking that holds up to an audit. If you want the standard explained from scratch first, read What is SCORM?

Upload to launch in three steps.

Upload your ZIP

Drag and drop your SCORM package. We accept ZIP files up to 2 GB containing SCORM 1.2 or 2004 content.

We handle the rest

Hotline LMS extracts the package, parses the imsmanifest.xml, identifies SCO entry points, and validates all referenced files.

Learners start learning

The course is live. Progress, scores, bookmarks, and suspend data sync automatically. Learners can pause and resume any time.

Full runtime compliance.

Built for reliability.

speed

Sub-200ms initialisation SCORM content loads fast. LMSInitialize completes in under 200ms so learners aren't waiting.

save

Auto-save every 60 seconds If the learner's browser crashes or they lose connection, their progress is safe. We commit data every 60 seconds automatically.

folder_zip

Up to 2 GB packages Large SCORM packages with video content? No problem. We support ZIP uploads up to 2 GB.

fact_check

Manifest validation We parse imsmanifest.xml, validate SCO entry points, and check that all referenced files exist before making the course available.

bookmark

Full bookmark support Learners can close the browser and pick up exactly where they left off. lesson_location and suspend_data are persisted automatically.

assessment

Score & completion tracking Raw scores, scaled scores, pass/fail status, and completion, all tracked and visible in the admin analytics dashboard.

Moving SCORM content from another LMS

Because SCORM is a portable standard, your courses are not locked to your current platform. The package that runs there is the same ZIP that runs here. Migration is usually just re-uploading the files; the parts that trip teams up are the details below, and Hotline LMS is built to handle them.

Bookmarks and suspend data survive

Resume position (lesson_location) and the content's own saved state (suspend_data) are persisted on every commit, so a learner who closes the tab halfway through a 90-minute course returns to the exact slide they left, not the start.

Progress is not lost to a crash

The runtime commits to the server when the content calls commit, and also auto-saves every 60 seconds as a fallback. A dropped connection or a closed laptop lid does not wipe a learner's session.

Completion that reflects real work

You can require a minimum passing score from a SCORM quiz before a course counts as complete. Completion then means the learner passed, not that they clicked Next until the bar filled.

Large, video-heavy packages are fine

ZIP uploads are supported up to 2 GB, so courses with embedded video do not need to be stripped down or split before they will upload. Files are validated against the manifest so a missing asset is caught before learners ever see a broken slide.
