7taps & SCORM: The Complete Guide to Dynamic SCORM and Kiosk Mode Integration

This guide covers everything you need to know about exporting, uploading, tracking, and updating 7taps content in your LMS, so you can maintain compliance tracking without sacrificing speed and agility.

When you export SCORM from 7taps, you get Dynamic SCORM—a lightweight wrapper file that connects your LMS to your live 7taps course.

Think of it this way: Traditional SCORM is like burning a DVD and mailing it every time you make a change. 7taps Dynamic SCORM is like Netflix—always streaming the latest version.

Most SCORM packages are static—meaning the entire course is frozen in a ZIP file. Every typo fix, content update, or improvement requires:

7taps eliminates this cycle entirely. Make changes in 7taps, and they sync automatically to your LMS. No re-uploading. No delays. No versioning headaches.

7taps supports three integration standards, all Dynamic:

Plus a specialized option:

Step 1: Build your course in 7taps

Step 2: Click Share >> Export

Step 2: Export it as SCORM (choose 2004, 1.2, or xAPI)

Step 3: Upload to your LMS (requires LMS that supports external content)

Step 4: Test the connection

Step 5: Never touch the LMS upload interface again

Once your Dynamic SCORM is set up:

⚠️ Your LMS must support:

Compatible with: Most modern LMS platforms including Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday Learning, Docebo, TalentLMS, and others that follow SCORM standards.

✅ Perfect for:

❌ Not ideal for:

Kiosk Mode is a specialized SCORM package designed for shared devices where multiple users take the same course sequentially. Perfect for:

Standard SCORM issue: When User A completes a course on a shared device, User B sees a "completed" status and can't take it themselves.

Kiosk Mode solution: After each completion, the session automatically resets, preparing the course for the next learner. Each person gets a fresh, trackable experience.

7taps offers Kiosk Mode for all SCORM formats:

✅ Perfect for:

❌ Not needed for:

Remember: Each completion resets the course automatically—no manual intervention needed between learners.

SCORM Transformer takes your existing SCORM courses and transforms them into behavior-focused microlearning experiences—without starting from scratch.

Warm-Up Mode - Prime learners before training with 7-8 cards that build motivation and surface real workplace problems. Makes learners actually want to engage with your existing course.

Transform Mode - Convert traditional e-learning into 4-5 microlearning courses that drive behavior change. Turns passive information into active challenges and practice.

Follow-Up (Reinforce) Mode - Activate what was learned with 3 short courses that nudge learners to apply training in real situations. Turns knowledge into consistent habits.

Works with exports from: Articulate Rise, Articulate Storyline, iSpring, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, and any other tool that exports SCORM.

Got existing SCORM courses gathering dust in your LMS? Turn them into engaging, behavior-focused microlearning in minutes.

1. From the main authoring screen, click Create

2. Choose "SCORM to 7taps"

3. Upload two files:

4. Define your desired outcome - Choose from three transformation modes:

5. Sit back while we do the hard work - Your transformed course will be ready in minutes

The SCORM Transformer analyzes your content and creates:

Remember: This doesn't replace your original SCORM course—it enhances your training strategy by adding microlearning layers that drive actual application and retention.

When you upload a 7taps course via SCORM or xAPI, your LMS receives:

While SCORM sends basic tracking to your LMS, 7taps native analytics provide deeper insights:

Pro tip: Use both systems together. LMS for official records and compliance. 7taps for optimization and iteration.

1. Open the course you want to export in 7taps

2. Click the SHARE button (top right)

3. Navigate to the Export tab

4. Choose your export format:

For standard use:

For shared devices:

5. Upload the downloaded file to your LMS following your LMS-specific instructions

6. Test the course with a learner account before rolling out

7. Verify the connection - Make a small edit in 7taps and check that it appears in the LMS version

Once your Dynamic SCORM is uploaded:

Partially, yes. When you upload via SCORM, learners must:

This adds 3-4 barriers compared to sending a direct 7taps link. That's why we recommend using SCORM only when required for compliance or official tracking.

Best practice: Use both approaches:

Yes, absolutely! Many clients use a hybrid approach:

Example workflow:

That's the beauty of Dynamic SCORM - you don't need to do anything in your LMS.

The process:

No re-exporting. No re-uploading. No testing again.

This is fundamentally different from traditional static SCORM, where every change requires a complete re-upload cycle.

No. Dynamic SCORM requires an active internet connection because it pulls content live from 7taps.

If offline access is critical: Most modern workplaces have reliable internet, making this a rare concern. For truly offline scenarios, 7taps may not be the right fit for that specific use case.

Yes, but the data appears differently in each system:

In your LMS (via SCORM):

In 7taps native analytics:

For individual tracking: Use your LMS
​For content optimization: Use 7taps analytics

SCORM 1.2:

SCORM 2004:

xAPI (Experience API / Tin Can):

For most organizations: SCORM 2004 is the best choice
​For older LMS systems: SCORM 1.2 ensures compatibility
​For advanced tracking: xAPI offers more possibilities

Common causes:

Troubleshooting steps:

Yes, and how you track depends on how you share:

Via SCORM in your LMS:

Via 7taps native sharing (Link, QR, Slack, Teams, Email):

The key difference: When you upload via SCORM to an LMS, learners are identified by their LMS profile. When you share directly through 7taps, learners are tracked through 7taps' system. Both provide individual tracking—they just use different identification systems.

Note: If you share a 7taps link publicly (like posting it on a website without access controls), you'll see individual responses but they'll be anonymous since learners aren't required to identify themselves.

Your LMS must:

LMS platforms confirmed to work with Dynamic SCORM: Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday Learning, Docebo, TalentLMS, and most modern systems that follow SCORM standards.

If Dynamic SCORM doesn't work: Your LMS may have security restrictions blocking external content. Contact your LMS administrator to enable external content connections.

Use SCORM Transformer to convert them into behavior-focused microlearning:

Works with exports from: Articulate, iSpring, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, and any other authoring tool that exports SCORM.

Many successful clients use both:
