How do I bring a SCORM course into Coassemble?
How to convert an existing SCORM course into an editable Coassemble course, which authoring tools are supported, and what carries across.
Upload your SCORM package when you create a course with the AI agent, and it is converted into a fully editable Coassemble course made of blocks. Your text, images, galleries, flashcards, process steps, accordions and knowledge checks come across, and anything that could not be converted is listed for you to review rather than quietly dropped.
Your original package is untouched. Converting takes a copy of the content, so the file you uploaded still works wherever it is running today.
Which authoring tools are supported?
Four tools are recognised specifically, and their content is read directly:
- Articulate Rise
- Articulate Storyline
- Adobe Captivate
- iSpring
Coassemble's own SCORM exports are also recognised, so a course you exported from Coassemble can be brought back in, just in case there is an instance where that might be necessary.
Packages from other tools can still be uploaded. They are read generically rather than with knowledge of how that particular tool structures its content, so expect less of the original structure to survive. If a conversion produces very little, you are told rather than left with a near-empty course that looks like a success.
How do I convert a package?
- Click Create with agent at the top of your workspace dashboard.
- Upload your SCORM package, the same way you would upload a document.
- Choose how closely the course should follow the original. Verbatim keeps the wording exactly as authored, which is usually what you want for compliance content you have already had approved. Structured keeps your content but reshapes it into a clearer learning flow. Adaptive treats the package as background material and builds a fuller course around your learning outcomes.
- Answer any questions the agent asks. If you chose Verbatim there will be very few, because the content is not being rewritten.
- Review what came across, and refine it.
What carries across?
Content and media
Text, headings and images come across, along with galleries of images from the original.
Interactive elements
Interactions are mapped onto the closest Coassemble block, so they stay interactive rather than flattening into paragraphs:
| In the original | Becomes in Coassemble |
|---|---|
| Accordion | Accordion |
| Flashcards | Flashcards |
| Process or steps | Process |
| Tabs with two or more panels | Accordion, one item per tab |
| Tabs with a single panel | Process with a single card |
| Timeline | Process, one card per entry |
| Bulleted and numbered lists | Lists |
Order is preserved. A timeline with six entries becomes a process with six cards in the same sequence.
Assessment
Knowledge checks and quiz slides come across as real question blocks with their answer options and correct answers intact, not as plain text describing a question that no longer works.
What does not carry across?
Labelled graphics and hotspots. An image with clickable points on it cannot be recreated, because hotspot is not currently available as a block in the new builder. The text from each hotspot does come across, so the information is not lost, but the image, the click points and the reveal interaction are not rebuilt. If you rely on these, plan to rebuild those screens.
The original visual design. Your course is rebuilt from Coassemble blocks and takes your Coassemble theme, so it will not look like a copy of the original. The content is what carries across, not the styling.
Anything else that could not be converted is listed for you after the build, so you can decide what to rebuild rather than discovering gaps later.
What do I get at the end?
A normal Coassemble course. It is made of blocks, every screen is editable, the AI agent can change it for you, and it behaves like anything else you build: share it by link or email, add it to a collection, run it in Slack, embed it, or export it as SCORM again.
That is the point of converting rather than hosting. Content that has been locked inside a package for years becomes something you can update in minutes, in the same place as the rest of your training.
Frequently asked questions
Will my original SCORM file still work?
Yes. Converting reads a copy of your package. Nothing is changed about the file you uploaded, and it keeps working wherever it is running now.
Can I convert several packages at once?
Each package becomes its own course, so convert them one at a time. Once they are in, you can group the resulting courses into a collection to run them as a programme.
My tool is not one of the four listed. Can I still upload?
Yes. Rise, Storyline, Captivate and iSpring are recognised specifically, so they convert most reliably. Other packages are read generically, and how much structure survives depends on how the tool built the package. Upload one and look at what comes across before committing to moving a whole library.
Are my quiz scores and learner records brought across?
No. Conversion brings across the content, not the history. Completions and scores recorded in your current system stay there, and reporting on the converted course starts from when people take it in Coassemble.
