Importing an existing SCORM package converts it into native, editable Mindsmith courses and lessons. You can then update the imported training material in Mindsmith.
Supported Authoring Tools
Mindsmith currently supports importing SCORM .zip packages exported from the following platforms:
Articulate Rise
EasyGenerator
Evolve
Inkling
Articulate Storyline packages uploaded from the dashboard are imported with the Mindsmith Agent when the deterministic Storyline importer is not enabled. This fallback requires AI credits. Integrated placements cannot use the Agent fallback, so Storyline import must be enabled there; otherwise, the import explains how to request access.
If you attempt to upload a SCORM package from an unsupported platform, the system will cancel the upload and display an "Unsupported authoring tool" error.
How to Import a SCORM Package
From your dashboard or project, click the Create button in the top-right corner.
In the dropdown menu, select Import ("Documents or SCORM packages").
In the import window, add your SCORM
.zipfile: drag it into the upload area, or click to browse and select it from your computer.Wait for the upload and processing to finish.
Once processing is complete, Mindsmith will automatically redirect you to your newly created lesson or course.
How the Conversion Works
Mindsmith rebuilds the content as native Mindsmith tiles instead of embedding the SCORM file.
During import, Mindsmith extracts the text, layouts, and media into text, image, and video tiles. You can edit the text, replace images, or ask the Mindsmith Agent to rewrite a section.
Mindsmith also saves embedded media from the original SCORM file to your workspace. If an Articulate Rise or EasyGenerator package contains multiple languages, Mindsmith detects them and creates translated versions of the course alongside the primary language.
Providing Feedback and Reimporting
Because third-party authoring tools export SCORM files in highly variable ways, your imported content may occasionally require minor formatting adjustments.
To help improve this process, imported lessons and courses have an Import Feedback option. Open the imported lesson or course, click the More options (⋯) menu, and select Import Feedback. (This option only appears on content that was imported.)
From there you can:
Rate the Import: Click Like (thumbs up) or Dislike (thumbs down) to tell us how the conversion performed.
Leave Comments: After choosing Dislike, a text box appears where you can describe what went wrong with the import.
