Downloading SCORM Versions of Courses
Organizations occasionally request a copy of our SCORM packages so they can upload OCI courses into their own Learning Management System (LMS). While we appreciate the interest, we do not distribute standalone SCORM files for the following reasons:
1. Version Control
Courses delivered through Open Collaboration Initiative (OCI) are updated periodically—and in some cases, deprecated or replaced entirely. Once a SCORM package is distributed, it becomes very difficult to ensure that all learners are accessing the latest, most accurate version. Outdated content can lead to misinformation, especially in compliance or safety-critical domains.
2. Reporting Requirements
Our team reports key metrics such as enrollment, participation, and completion to stakeholders involved in the development of these courses. When content is hosted outside of our ecosystem, these statistics are no longer trackable or reliable. Centralized delivery ensures consistent, verifiable data collection across all participating organizations.
3. Intellectual Property Protection
Distributing SCORM files externally makes it difficult to protect the integrity and intellectual property of the content. We’ve seen cases in the industry where SCORM packages were redistributed, modified without permission, or reused outside the intended context.
