SCORM CourseSCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) activity packages can be used on any compatible LMS but require special software, knowledge and skills to enter and generate the content package. Moodle is fully compatible SCORM version 1.2 and partially compatible with SCORM 2004. In Moodle, a SCORM course is actually a Moodle course to which a SCORM Package activity has been added.
