Interactive e-learning courses (SCORM, xAPI ('tin can'), AICC and CMI5)

Within the Learning module, Leapsome allows you to upload your own, interactive e-learning courses by uploading a SCORM, xAPI (or 'tin can'), AICC, or CMI5 file. This will allow your team to enjoy an interactive learning experience, containing videos, quizzes, games, articles, and audio files - all within one course in Leapsome. You can either include e-learning courses from external providers or courses you built yourself using an authoring tool like articulate Rise 360. 

How it works

You can add your course as a learning element in Leapsome and integrate it into existing and new learning paths. After uploading your file, learners can access the course right within a player in Leapsome and start interacting with the content.

For better readability, all content can also be viewed in full-screen mode: 

After completing all required steps within the course, Leapsome will mark this course as 'completed' and your learners continue with the next step in their learning path. But no worries: Leapsome saves the progress within your course so that learners can close the course window at any time to take a break and continue later.

If you are integrating your course into a learning path in Leapsome, you as an Admin can check the progress of the participants at any time. You can learn more about that here.

Preparing your course for the upload

To be able to upload your e-learning course to Leapsome, please make sure the file is in SCORM, xAPI ('tin can'), AICC, or CMI5 format. Please ensure the SCORM is version 1.2 or newer (2004) for the best integration. 

If you have created the file yourself, please make sure that you have selected a tracking option, such as 'Complete/Incomplete'. Leapsome will be able to process all tracking options, as long as they contain 'Complete' as a status. If you are using articulate Rise 360 to create your courses, you can find these settings within the course export options.

Uploading an existing course to Leapsome

Once your file has been configured, you can upload it as a learning element to Leapsome. This article outlines how this can be done. Once uploaded, you can make this course available to your learners as a learning path. 

Please note: when uploading a SCORM file course, make sure it's uploaded as a '.zip' file. Uploading individual components of the course will not work, they have to be in a '.zip' file. 

Frequently asked questions

I completed a course but Leapsome does not show it as completed. Why is that?

This can happen if Leapsome was unable to read the completion indicator your course is sending when a learner completes the SCORM (or other) file. Because of that, Leapsome does not know whether the user completed the course in the file or not and won't allow them to continue to the next element of the path (if the current step is marked as 'required').

To fix this, the author of the SCORM file first needs to make sure that a tracking option such as 'Complete/incomplete' is sent to external tools like Leapsome when the course is completed.

Please note that you'll have to export a new SCORM file if you make any changes to these settings.

If you want to test if your SCORM file is sending the completion indicator correctly, we recommend uploading it to the free testing tool SCORM Cloud.
After adjusting the tracking options in your file and successfully testing it, Leapsome should also be able to track the completion of the file correctly and should allow users to continue the learning path.

Our learning content provider does not allow me to download the course as a file. Can I still integrate?

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Leapsome needs to access your course in a file format. Feel free to get in touch with your content provider to explore options to export the courses.

We have included a quiz in our interactive course. Will I see the quiz score in the Learning analytics?

Leapsome will only track, and report back on whether a course has been completed or not. All other data (e.g. percentage of completion or quiz scores) can only be accessed within the course itself.
