What format do you need to upload a course to an LMS?

Most Learning Management Systems accept SCORM packages. Export your course as SCORM 1.2, which is the most widely supported version, and upload the zip file to your LMS as new content.

Does SCORM track course completion?

Yes. SCORM lets the course report launches and completion back to the LMS, which is what allows administrators to track learner progress.

Do you unzip a SCORM file before uploading?

No. Upload the SCORM zip file to your LMS as-is, as a SCORM package. The LMS handles unpacking and running it.

Can You Export an Online Course to Your LMS?

June 12, 2026

The short answer

Yes. You export an online course to a Learning Management System by exporting it as a SCORM package — a standard zip file that almost every LMS accepts — and uploading that package to your LMS as new content. The LMS then runs the course and tracks learner launches and completion. CourseConverter exports SCORM 1.2, the most widely supported version.

What SCORM does

SCORM is the standard that lets a course and an LMS communicate. It packages your course so the LMS can run it and report back that a learner launched and completed it. This is what enables completion tracking in corporate and educational settings.

How to do it

Export your course as a SCORM 1.2 package. You get a zip file. In your LMS, add new content and upload that zip as a SCORM package — without unzipping it first. The LMS handles the rest.

Which systems it works with

Because SCORM 1.2 is the most widely supported version, packages work with the large majority of Learning Management Systems. If your LMS lists SCORM support, your exported course will run in it.
