SCORM Dispatch

An overview of SCORM Dispatch.

What is SCORM Dispatch?

SCORM is an abbreviation for Shareable Content Object Reference Model. It is a set of standards used to create an eLearning product, such as an online course or learning management system.

There are two versions of SCORM Dispatch that EVERFI currently uses: SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (3rd edition).


Why it Matters

When EVERFI creates an online course using the standards of SCORM Dispatch it integrates easily into a learning management system or site also built using SCORM Dispatch because the same specifications exist. This allows a quicker and more seamless integration of a course.


Using SCORM Dispatch

SCORM is not available for all courses so you will need to contact Support to ensure the courses you wan to deploy are available.

If you are using a learning management system or site that uses the SCORM standard, EVERFI will provide you a course that also uses SCORM.

For each course, you will receive a “SCORM dispatch package.” The SCORM dispatch package is delivered as a package file that you will upload into your learning management system or site that hosts the course.

The SCORM dispatch package includes the following information:

  • Organization ID (ID of the org)
  • Content ID (ID of the course)
  • Package ID (ID of the package, used for mapping users to content. New packages must be created to redeploy the same course, location, and role)
  • Geolocation (Location of learner taking the course)
  • SCORM Version (1.2 and 2004)
  • Role (Role of learner taking the course, ex: Supervisor or Non-Supervisor)


Dispatch Package

With dispatch packages, EVERFI hosts course content on our platform and your LMS can seamlessly render that content when learners launch the course from your LMS. Since courseware often has external or internal tracking and completion requirements, EVERFI hosts the course content to ensure continuity and compliance. Moreover, EVERFI continually updates content to comply with the latest regulatory landscape — no need for you to worry about getting the latest version of each course, for each state. Further, it ensures compliance data integrity by creating a data record as a backup to the partner LMS.


What is a SCORM Dispatch Package?

A SCORM Dispatch Package is a package shell that references EVERFI content via a URL, but does not contain the actual media files. The format is a ZIP file with folders and files within that adhere to the standard SCORM definition. Most LMS allow you to import a SCORM dispatch package into your LMS and administer it like a normal course. The file size of a SCORM dispatch package is around 80 KB when compressed; for comparison, a medium resolution image file is around the same size. When extracted, the package is around 400 KB.


Course Objectives / Scoring

Some LMS products may require course tracking configurations for score based course objectives, for example passing/failing grades. By default, the partner LMS may require a minimum score to pass a course. EVERFI courses, given their compliance implications, do not track scores and are designed to force 100% accurate completion.

Learner completion certificates are not available via the Foundry platform. This is a setting that can be configured via your LMS/HRIS. To track completion in Foundry, Training Progress Reports are available as a backup.
