Explore our additional articles to dive deeper into each topic and maximize the impact of your interactive content! ## **What is SCORM?** SCORM, which stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, is a set of technical standards that allows eLearning content creators to package their content in a way that is compatible with various learning management systems (LMS). Using SCORM allows educators and trainers to integrate their Genially creations within eLearning platforms, ensuring that interactivity and features are preserved. ### **Benefits of using SCORM:** * **Universal compatibility**: It allows content created in Genially to be easily integrated into most LMSs that support SCORM. * **Progress tracking**: Educators can track how users interact with the content, including time spent, responses to interactive questions, and more. * **Content reuse**: It facilitates the distribution and reuse of interactive educational content across different courses and platforms.

LTI 1.3 expands the functionality of LMSs by enabling the incorporation of external educational resources like those created in Genially, providing a richer and more diverse learning experience. ### **Advantages of using LTI 1.3:** * **Easy integration**: With just a few clicks, you can add interactive Geniallys directly into your LMS. * **Centralized access**: Students can access all educational resources from a single location without the need for multiple logins. * **Enhanced user experience**: Enrich the learning environment with visual and interactive content that increases engagement and knowledge retention.

It is ideal for controlling content delivery and gathering detailed data on how users interact with the content. On the other hand, LTI 1.3 (Learning Tools Interoperability) is a standard that allows the integration of external learning tools into educational platforms. LTI 1.3 focuses on connecting external resources to the LMS without worrying about specific packaging and tracking details. It facilitates access to supplementary tools within an existing learning environment. #### **Can I use SCORM and LTI 1.3 together in my course?** Yes, it is possible to use both in the same course. For example, you can have a Genially packaged as SCORM to leverage tracking capabilities and, at the same time, integrate additional tools or content through LTI 1.3. This combination allows you to maximize your LMS functionalities and enrich the educational experience with variety and flexibility. #### **Do I need special technical skills to use SCORM or LTI 1.3?** Not necessarily. Genially facilitates exporting content as SCORM packages and integration through LTI 1.3 with simple interfaces and step-by-step guides. However, having a basic understanding of how your LMS and these standards work can help you optimize the integration and use of the content. #### **Do all LMS support SCORM and LTI 1.3?** Most modern LMS support both standards, but it’s important to check the specifications of your platform. SCORM is widely accepted and commonly used for tracking learning progress, while LTI 1.3 is gaining ground for its ability to easily integrate external tools. #### **How do SCORM and LTI 1.3 impact content accessibility?** Both SCORM and LTI 1.3 are designed to be compatible with accessibility practices, but final accessibility will also depend on the specific content you create and how your LMS handles these standards. It is crucial to design content with accessibility in mind and ensure your LMS meets the necessary requirements to offer an inclusive learning experience. #### **Why am I getting the "Oops, you can’t view this content" error when trying to access LTI 1.3 integrated content?** This error usually occurs when there is a mismatch between the user credentials in the Learning Management System (LMS) and Genially. For the LTI 1.3 integration to work correctly, it is essential that the email used to access Genially is the same as the one registered in the LMS. If the emails don’t match, the LMS won’t be able to properly verify the user’s identity, preventing access to the integrated content. To fix this, verify and make sure you are using the same email in both systems. #### **Where should I store Genially content to use with LTI 1.3?** To ensure that your Genially content works properly when integrated with LTI 1.3 in your LMS, it is essential that the Geniallys are published and not stored in your personal folder. Make sure to move any relevant Genially to a folder that is accessible within your LMS or set to share with other users. Content stored in personal folders may not be accessible due to privacy restrictions or LMS settings, which could prevent users from accessing the necessary materials for the course. Always verify that the content is in proper and accessible locations before proceeding with LTI 1.3 integration. #### **Which plan includes it?** We recommend always checking our [**plans page**](https://genially.com/plans/) to confirm which plan includes it.
