SCORM Cloud is an industry standard tool developed by Rustici Software. If you’re experiencing problems with:

Using a SCORM package you’ve created with Nimble Author in a third-party LMS
Using a SCORM package you’ve acquired from a third-party in Nimble LMS

You should test the package using SCORM Cloud to identify whether the problem is with the package or the LMS.

Uploading a SCORM package to SCORM Cloud

To upload a SCORM package to SCORM Cloud:

Log into SCORM Cloud.
In the top-right of the screen, click the + Add Content button.
Click Import a SCORM, AICC, xAPI or cmi5 package.

Click the Browse button and select the SCORM package you would like to upload.
Click the Import Course button and wait for the SCORM package to upload.

Testing the SCORM package

To test the SCORM package:

Click the green Launch button.

If you encounter a message that advises, “We attempted to launch your course in a new window, but a popup blocker is preventing it from opening. Please disable popup blockers for this site” don’t worry – just click the Launch Course button.
Work through the course. If your problem relates to analytics from the course, be sure to complete the assessment.
Once you’ve finished the course, exit it.
Check that the analytics tracked in SCORM Cloud correctly reflect your completion of the course.

You’ve tested the SCORM package in SCORM Cloud and it works successfully
You’d like assistance with getting the package working in their LMS
