This is a new Moodle activity module completely independant from mod_scorm which allows you to upload a scorm and then serve it remotely to other learning management systems on other domains.

It works by generating a thin wrapper scorm which is uploaded into the other lms and passes events across the iframe barrier using window.postMessage

This has a few advantages as you can:

  1. outsource the learning similar to how LTI works reducing the burden on the remote LMS's admins
  2. sell your scorm packages without giving them away
  3. add seat restriction at the domain level
  4. swap the scorm packages in place and not require the remote LMS to do anything they automatically get the latest version of the package

    The readme says "As learners on the remote site use the scorm, you will see accounts created in your Moodle and enrolments and *completion status for those accounts*". But that doesn't seem to be the case as the only completion options are "Do not indicate activity completion" and "Students can manually mark the activity as completed". Is there completion tracking on the hosting Moodle? I don't need this I just want to make sure I understand how it works.

    The supplied version is not compatible with 3.9 as advertised. I've pushed a version that is here:

    Hi,
    We have set up this plugin but having difficulty with #4: "swap the scorm packages in place and not require the remote LMS to do anything they automatically get the latest version of the package".

    This doesn't seem to be working on 4.0 and 3.11 when testing. We deleted the old SCORM and replaced with a new one but it only shows the original SCORM and no changes are pushed through. Did I miss something?
