A SCORM activity is an online presentation. It is a more interactive and aesthetically pleasing way to deliver learning content to a student. 

SCORM activities are generally accompanied by other assessment tasks, for example following completion of the SCORM having a student complete a Vasto online exam, submit an assignment or attend a practical assessment to further ascertain they have developed the required knowledge and skills.

SCORM Fundamentals

1. Vasto only supports SCORM files which are Version 1.2 Compliant
   
   
2. As Vasto has no control over the authoring of SCORM packages, should issues arise with the authoring, you will need to be refer to whomever created said SCORM package for support
   
   
3.  SCORM will not show a student's progress - the three possible status options are;
   • New, 0% complete
   • In Progress, 0% complete
   • Complete, 100% complete
     (this does not necessarily mean the student achieved 100%, it simply means that the student has completed and achieved the pre-set passing grade built into the SCORM package itself)

How To Set Up a SCORM Activity

1. Follow steps 1 - 4 as outlined on the create an activity help page 
   
   
2. Link or upload resources (optional). This may include downloadable copy of the slides or other documents.
   
   Before you have saved the activity, you have the opportunity to provide external links
   
   
   
   Once the activity has been saved, you will instead have the opportunity to attach files
   
   
   
   
3. Provide instructions in the notes tab (optional).
   The notes tab allows you to populate instructions which are visible in the student portal.
   
   
   

   There is already default instructions to the student when they open a SCORM activity, pictured below. If you utilise notes to provide an additional custom message to your students, this would feature just above the default instructions as outlined in green.
