LMS packages

An LMS package adds a demo or a training course to another learning management system (LMS), such as Moodle, Cornerstone or Docebo. The package only launches the lesson: lessons play from Demo-Creator, and the LMS records completion, score and where the learner stopped.

  • For a demo, download it from Share & export → Export. It becomes one lesson.
  • For a training course, owners and admins download it from the course's Sharing tab. It holds one lesson per published demo, in course order.

Choose a standard​

StandardChoose it when
SCORM 1.2You are unsure: nearly every LMS accepts it.
SCORM 2004 (4th edition)Your LMS supports it. It reports progress within a lesson and exact scores.
cmi5 (xAPI)Your LMS supports cmi5 and you want the results as xAPI statements in its records.

What the LMS receives​

  • Completion, when the learner reaches the end of a lesson.
  • For a lesson with a quiz: the score, and passed or failed at the pass mark. The pass mark is 80% for a demo package and the course pass mark for a course package; many LMSs let you change it.
  • The current step, so the lesson resumes where the learner stopped, and the time spent.

Answers you grade by hand never reach the LMS, so such lessons report completion without a score. Use automatically graded questions in lessons you deliver through an LMS.

Updates and limits​

  • Republishing a demo updates it in every LMS that uses the package. Download a new package after adding or removing course lessons or changing the course pass mark.
  • Unpublishing or deleting a demo stops it in the LMS.
  • Results stay in the LMS. Learners are not signed in to Demo-Creator, so their plays count as anonymous views in Analytics, and they do not appear in a course's Results.
  • A protected demo asks LMS learners for access as its link does; see Access protection.
  • Learners must be able to reach Demo-Creator from where they use the LMS. If your organization has a custom domain, packages use it.
