Update a SCORM activity

There may be times when you need to update a SCORM package but need to retain the completion data and current learners' progress. For example, you may have updated text in an e-learning module without adding new content. In order to retain this data, you need to ensure that the new SCORM package's IMS manifest file has the same item identifier as the current SCORM package.

If you need to update a SCORM package that is used in multiple courses, it is useful to turn on auto-updating. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Within the required course, Turn editing on.
2. Select SCORM from the Add an activity menu.
3. Enter a name and description.
4. Select the Add button () and select the repository containing your SCORM files.
5. Select the zipped SCORM file.
6. Select the Create an alias/shortcut to the file radio button, then Select this file.
7. Set the Auto-update frequency setting.
8. Select Save and display.

Now the SCORM activity will automatically check the selected repository (depending on the Auto-update frequency you selected) and update the activity with the latest ZIP file.
