Overview
Dock Courses supports importing SCORM files as course modules. This lets you bring in e-learning content built in tools like Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, or iSpring and deliver it inside a Dock Course alongside natively-built Dock content.
Supported formats: SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.
How SCORM files map to Dock Courses
Each SCORM file becomes exactly one Module in a Dock Course. The SCORM content renders inside that module as an embedded iFrame.
This means:
A multi-lesson course built inside a single SCORM package = one Dock module
Multiple SCORM files uploaded to a single Dock Course = multiple modules, one per file
You can freely mix SCORM modules and natively-built Dock modules in the same course (e.g., Module 1: Dock content → Module 2: SCORM file → Module 3: Dock content)
Uploading SCORM Files
SCORM files can be uploaded in two ways:
Option 1: Directly within a Course
Open the course, add a new module, and select "Upload SCORM file."
Option 2: Module template
Upload the SCORM file as a module template from your content library. You can then add it to any course.
In both cases, you'll be prompted to upload the SCORM .zip file. Dock processes the zip and displays the content as a module.
SCORM Files Supported
Dock supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 file types.
When downloading SCORM files from tools like Articulate, make sure to select the LMS option and then choose one of the supported file types.
Analytics
What Dock tracks | Notes |
Module completion | Used for course progress and completion tracking |
Time spent on module | Captured at the module level |
Events within the SCORM file | Not tracked by Dock. This data stays within your SCORM authoring tool. |
Dock tracks completion and time at the module level only. Any internal events, branching logic, or interaction data within the SCORM file itself are not surfaced in Dock analytics.
Quizzes and assessments
Dock does not currently extract quiz results or assessment scores from SCORM files into the Dock UI. Quiz data remains within your SCORM content and is accessible through your authoring tool.
This is on the roadmap. Contact the Dock team if you want early access.
FAQs
Can I export a Dock Course as a SCORM file? No. Dock supports importing SCORM files only. Dock content cannot be exported as SCORM.
Can I add additional content to a SCORM module? No. Content inside a SCORM module is fully controlled by the SCORM file itself. You cannot add Dock blocks or other content within the same module. If you need additional content alongside a SCORM file, put it in a separate Dock module.
My SCORM file isn't displaying correctly. What should I check?
Confirm the file was published as SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 (not xAPI/cmi5)
Confirm you're uploading the
.zipfile directly — do not unzip it firstCheck that the zip file includes an
imsmanifest.xmlat the root level; if it doesn't, the package wasn't exported correctlyIf published from Articulate, re-export using the LMS output type and re-upload
