CourseRelay – SCORM Support for LearnDash LMS

SCORM support

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 are both supported for auto-launch, session resume, completion detection, score tracking, mastery score and LearnDash mark-complete.

Security

• Zip Slip protection, with every archive entry path validated before extraction
• PHP execution blocked inside uploaded packages
• Registration ID validation on every commit using a timing-safe comparison
• Content ownership checks, so learners can only write data for content they can access
• SCORM iframe sandboxing that still preserves the SCORM parent API
• Learner identifiers redacted from debug logs
• All input validated, sanitized and escaped

Privacy

CourseRelay integrates with the WordPress personal data export and erasure tools. No learner data leaves your server.

Authoring tools

Tested with Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise 360, Adobe Captivate, iSpring Suite, Lectora and dominKnow Claro. Any tool that exports a valid SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 package should work. If you are publishing from Captivate, SCORM 1.2 gives the most reliable results at this stage.

What it does not do

• xAPI (Tin Can) and cmi5 content, which require a Learning Record Store
• SCORM 2004 adaptive sequencing and navigation rules. Linear courses work, branching does not
• Interaction level reporting. Completion and score only, no quiz answer or hotspot data
• Multi-SCO packages are only partially supported. Only the first SCO is launched
• Other WordPress LMS plugins. LearnDash is the only adapter currently included
• Offline or mobile app delivery. Browser only

Requirements

• WordPress 5.8 or later
• LearnDash LMS 3.0 or later, tested on LearnDash 4.10.1
• PHP 7.4 or later with the ZipArchive extension
