PPT to SCORM for Canvas
Using ScormMaker with Canvas
Canvas support for SCORM depends on whether SCORM has been enabled and configured for your institution.
Your PowerPoint file is processed directly in your browser. The presentation and generated SCORM package are not uploaded to or stored on our servers.
ScormMaker preserves common slide content such as text, images, and basic layouts. Some advanced PowerPoint features may be simplified or unsupported. Review the browser preview before importing the package into your LMS.

SCORM may not be available in every Canvas account or environment. Contact your Canvas administrator if the SCORM navigation item is unavailable.
Institution-level settings may change which import options are available to course authors.

The generated package currently saves basic progress and completion status in compatible SCORM 1.2 LMS environments. It does not include quizzes, interaction data, scores, or advanced analytics.
Canvas configuration may affect whether completion behavior appears the way your team expects, so test in a sandbox course first.
