How to download SCORM files in Ethena

We're going to go over how you can download Ethena courses as a SCORM file.

Please note: You'll only see this option if you purchased SCORM file access. If you aren't sure whether this applies to you, please reach out to your CSM or support@goethena.com.

1. Firstly, go to the Content Library
2. Under All Content find the course you would like to export and select it
3. Now you have two options if there a multiple course types of the training:

   1. Exporting all types by choosing Export at the top

      

   2. Selecting the cause type you want then choosing Export:

      

4. If downloading the Harassment Prevention course, you can also choose between separate track files or one consolidated file for all locations/roles. More information on these options can be found here.
5. Select 'Download.' Importantly, make sure you unzip the file that's downloaded! This package will include multiple folders with different SCORM packages within them, depending on which modules you'd like to send to your employees. It'll also include a Course File Guide with more information. When you unzip the initial download, the contents should look like this:
6. Select which module(s) or Learning Path (s) you'd like to upload to your LMS. Upload the files and test as needed.

Exporting a SCORM file with Mini Courses 

1. From the admin dashboard, navigate to the Content Library.
2. Locate the course that contains all the mini-courses you want to export (e.g., Harassment Prevention). Click into the course to open it.
3. From the course screen, click the Export button.
4. When prompted, select "I will manually assign tracks to learners in my LMS."
5. Choose your desired SCORM file format.
6. Click the Export button to begin the download.
7. Once the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file.
8. Open the unzipped folder and click on Modules → Continuous. You will find all the mini-courses/continuous learning modules ready to upload to your LMS.

⚠️ Important: Do not select "I want learners to select their location or role" — this option will exclude the mini-courses/continuous training modules from the export.

What file types do you have?

We export multiple file types, we’re using SCORM as a catchall for these file types.

We will export the following file types: SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 3rd Edition, SCORM 2004 4th Edition, AICC, cmi5, and Tin Can (xAPI).

Are there functionality differences between the file types?

There is no difference in terms of training. Our training can be exported with identical functionality across all file types, so it really just comes down to your preferences and reporting needs of your LMS.

We suggest downloading SCORM 2004 if you are not sure.

It is important to note that there is a difference between formats when it comes to reporting. SCORM 2004, cmi5 and xAPI all support reporting data for checks on learning.

All older SCORM versions and AICC do not support reporting data for checks on learning.

What are Learning Paths?

Learning Paths deliver full-length training courses to specific groups to meet legal requirements. For example, the “California managers” track covers required CA manager topics (like state-specific regulations, leadership skills, etc.) and meets the time requirements set by CA law.

While the “US Non Regulated States” and “International” learning paths provide a comprehensive, full-length course for learners in and out of the US, respectively.

How do Ethena's SCORM files work?

Ethena provides dynamic, web-based SCORM files that insert the Ethena web experience into your LMS. Customers generally prefer this structure because it keeps SCORM files small (around 70 KB) and allows for content to dynamically update as changes are made (no need to upload a new file each time a change is requested).
