Allure Connect SCORM and xAPI

Run SCORM in WordPress without running your own SCORM engine.

Allure Connect hosts your SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages and delivers them to signed-in WordPress learners. Add a course to any post or page with the Allure SCORM Player block or [allure_scorm] shortcode, then choose an embedded player, lightbox, or new window.

Learners can resume incomplete sessions. Administrators can review progress, scores, time spent, completion status, and related xAPI activity. When you use LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, or LearnPress, the plugin can also mark the linked lesson complete after the package reports SCORM completion.

Allure Connect keeps the hosted runtime, session data, and xAPI Learning Record Store together, so your WordPress site can deliver and track interactive training without maintaining a local SCORM engine.

Third-Party Services

This plugin requires Allure Connect, a hosted SaaS described at https://allureconnect.com.

The connector sends service requests to the Allure Connect application at https://app.allureconnect.com for API credentials, SCORM package upload and hosting, learner launches, session and progress tracking, xAPI storage, and analytics. The plugin cannot upload, launch, resume, or track SCORM content without an active Allure Connect account and valid API credentials.

Depending on the feature used, requests may include your configured API key and Tenant ID, package metadata and ZIP uploads, WordPress user identifiers, linked post IDs, LMS identifiers, learner progress, scores, completion status, session identifiers, and xAPI statement data.

Features

• Host SCORM outside WordPress – Upload SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 ZIP packages from WordPress while Allure Connect hosts and serves the runtime
• Embed without custom code – Add training to posts and pages with the Allure SCORM Player block or [allure_scorm] shortcode
• Choose the learner experience – Launch content embedded, in a lightbox, or in a new window
• Resume incomplete sessions – Return each learner to an existing incomplete session
• Track learning outcomes – Review progress, scores, time spent, completion status, and related xAPI activity
• Sync LMS completion – Optionally complete a linked LMS lesson after the package reports SCORM completion
• Connect four WordPress LMS plugins – Built-in adapters for LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, and LearnPress

LMS Integrations

This connector includes named compatibility for these major WordPress LMS plugins:

• LearnDash – Add SCORM content to lessons and topics and mark LearnDash items complete after SCORM completion.
• LifterLMS – Add SCORM content to LifterLMS lessons and mark lessons complete from SCORM completion.
• Tutor LMS – Add interactive SCORM modules to Tutor LMS lessons and sync completion.
• LearnPress – Add SCORM packages to LearnPress lessons and sync lesson completion.

SCORM packages can also be embedded on standard WordPress posts and pages without an LMS. When an LMS lesson is linked to a package, the plugin passes the WordPress post ID and LMS identifier through launch, progress, and completion routing so reused packages complete the correct lesson.

All third-party LMS names are trademarks of their respective owners. Compatibility does not imply endorsement by those vendors.
