Keeping in mind how busy everyone is, we should aim at creating SCORMs that are no longer than 10-15 minutes so that they can be completed in one go.

Using simple SCORM interactive elements inside a module and mixing them with other types of content creator elements is a great idea to ensure that we keep the user engaged and active.
​

Creating shorter modules allows us to stretch learning over time and not overwhelm the user with too much knowledge at once.

A series of 5-6 SCORM, 10 minutes modules will cover your 1-hour curricula that are completed in small bites, allowing user to easier put the acquired knowledge into practice in between modules.

Having shorter modules will allow the user to revisit the learning more effectively later.

You want your users to engage in the content you spend time and effort creating. But how do you exactly do that? The following section gives you tips on how you can ensure that they enjoy the content but also gather all the essential information you are providing them with.
​

Not being able to figure out how to complete a module brings frustration to all. To avoid this to the greatest extent, it will be helpful to have instructions on how the user needs to interact with the module to finalise it and submit answers. This can be done as a guidance slide, mentioning, for example:

Based on your company's culture and what drives your users, adding rewards, sound effects, and fun stories behind the learning experience might be a great idea to keep the users engaged and looking forward to the next module.
​

Crowded slides are challenging to go through, making it difficult to grasp the key ideas to remember. Therefore, build simple slides aided by value-adding graphical elements the user can remember.
​

Some like voice-over, others don't.

If you decide to include voice-over in your learning, ensure the user can still follow the flow without sound. In addition, before going ahead, align with your internal resources to see whether this will be a sustainable decision in your context, thinking of potential content updates happening in the future.
​

Sum up the key takeaways of the module in a slide towards the end so that it is clear to the user what the primary knowledge they should stick with is.

SCORM 2004 4th edition is the format that works best on our Learning Lifecycle platform. Moreover, adding an "Exit course" trigger in the last slide of the SCORM will allow the SCORM to automatically close and jump to the slide with Submit Answers.

This is a great easy fix to add content to your platform.

However, consider whether these slides were created as a stand-alone or a supporting document. If the slides were built to be presented by a speaker, they would most likely not be the best material for digital learning.
