SCORM stands for [[Sharable Content Object Reference Model>>url:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCORM||shape="rect"]]. An existing SCORM 1.2 resource can be integrated into the platform either as an individual learning resource or a **SCORM** course element.
4
5 SCORM course elements can be assessed. This means that assessment information can be configured and, for example, be displayed in certificates or assessment overviews. Assessment information may also serve as a visibility or access criterion for other course areas.

21 In a course element **SCORM**, you can start and run stored **SCORM resources**. You will also receive information on the number of completed attempts and the maximum number of attempts possible for the learning content.
22
23 After completing a SCORM attempt, you can view your **assessment** above the **Start SCORM **button. The displayed assessment information depends on the settings configured by the course author.
