Nothing is uploaded, so confidential training stays on your device. 3. 03 ### Complete the course and check the tracking Complete the course as a learner would and check that completion, score, and progress show up in the log before you upload it to your LMS.

This free player runs that runtime in your browser so you can preview a course and inspect its tracking data without an LMS. How do I test a SCORM package without an LMS?ExpandCollapse Drop the ZIP above. The player launches the course in a sandboxed frame, answers its SCORM API calls, and shows you completion status, score, and every API call live, exactly what an LMS would record. Is my course content uploaded to your servers?ExpandCollapse No. The package is unzipped and played entirely in your browser; files are served to the course from local browser storage and are cleared when you load another package. We only collect anonymous usage statistics, never your files or their contents. Which standards does the player support?ExpandCollapse Playback supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (3rd and 4th Edition). xAPI and cmi5 packages are detected and can be checked with the validator; in-browser playback for them is on the roadmap. How do I create a SCORM package?ExpandCollapse You need an authoring tool that exports LMS-ready packages. Skillsail turns documents, slides, and PDFs into interactive courses with quizzes and translations, and exports them as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, or cmi5, ready to upload to any LMS. Why isn't my SCORM course recording completion?ExpandCollapse Common causes are a course that never sets a completed or passed status, a completion trigger on a slide the learner never reaches, or a course that closes without calling LMSCommit or LMSFinish (Commit or Terminate in SCORM 2004). Play the course here and watch the log: if the status never changes, the problem is in the package, not in your LMS. Can I test Articulate Storyline, Rise, or Adobe Captivate courses?ExpandCollapse Yes. Courses exported as SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 ZIP files play here, whichever tool built them. Publish the package for an LMS in your authoring tool and drop the ZIP into the player. What is the difference between the SCORM Player and the SCORM Validator?ExpandCollapse The player runs your course and shows what it reports while you click through it. The validator checks the package structure, such as the manifest, launch file, and file references, and gives you a report to download. Use the validator when your LMS rejects an upload, and the player when the upload works but tracking does not. ## Structured data ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"WebApplication","alternateName":["SCORM Viewer","SCORM Tester","SCORM Preview Tool"],"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","browserRequirements":"Requires JavaScript","description":"Play SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages in your browser and watch completion, score, and tracking data live.
