Why convert ELP to SCORM?
Converting .elp to .scorm lets an eXeLearning course be tracked inside a learning management system, so completion and scores report back to the LMS. SCORM is the standard packaging most LMS platforms expect.
How to convert ELP to SCORM
eXeLearning (File > Export > SCORM) OPEN-SOURCE
Open the .elp, then File > Export > SCORM and pick SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004. Upload the resulting .zip as a SCORM package in your LMS.
eXeLearning IMS Content Package FREE
If your platform prefers IMS CP or Common Cartridge, use File > Export > IMS Content Package instead; it is packaged the same way.

- Keep the exported package zipped; uploading the extracted folder will break the
imsmanifest.xmlthe LMS relies on. - eXeLearning produces single-SCO packages, so per-page tracking beyond basic completion is limited.
- Check whether your LMS wants SCORM 1.2 or 2004 before exporting, as they are not interchangeable.
Frequently asked questions
SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004?
Pick whichever your LMS supports; Moodle and most platforms accept 1.2, while some require 2004. eXeLearning can export either.
Should I unzip the SCORM file before uploading?
No. Upload the
.zip as-is so the LMS can read the imsmanifest.xml and register the package.Which LMS can import it?
Any SCORM-compliant LMS, including Moodle, Blackboard and Canvas.
Can it track individual page scores?
eXeLearning exports a single-SCO package, so tracking is mostly at the course/completion level rather than per page.
