Dynamic SCORM: the end of re-uploading and the start of real learning

What is Dynamic SCORM?

If you’re still downloading ZIPs, uploading them into your LMS, and repeating the whole process every time someone finds a typo… you’re doing SCORM wrong.

Dynamic SCORM is the modern way to deliver learning content: instead of uploading a static file that lives in your LMS forever, you upload a tiny wrapper file that pulls the latest version of your course directly from your authoring tool—automatically, every time a learner clicks “Launch.”

That means:

• Edit once in your authoring tool
• See the changes instantly in your LMS
• Never re-export or re-upload again

With 7taps, Dynamic SCORM is more than just async—it’s a fundamentally smarter way to manage eLearning content.

Why Static SCORM is holding you back

Static SCORM is based on an outdated assumption: that content doesn’t change. In reality, content changes all the time—sometimes because of compliance updates, sometimes because of feedback, and often because of shifting business needs.

Problems with Static SCORM:

• Constant re-exporting and uploading
• No version control or draft safety
• LMS becomes a graveyard of outdated files
• Feedback takes weeks to implement

If you’re spending more time in your LMS than in your course editor, you’re paying the SCORM tax—and it’s costing you productivity, agility, and learner trust.

What makes 7taps Dynamic SCORM different?

Other platforms bolt on Dynamic SCORM as a dispatch-style feature. 7taps builds it natively into your workflow:

• One-time export: Upload your SCORM wrapper once. Done.
• Live sync: Changes in 7taps instantly appear in your LMS
• Draft and publish: Work in private until content is ready
• Version history: Restore any previous version with a click
• Collaboration tools: Comment, assign, and track content ownership

✨ Dynamic SCORM in 7taps = Instant updates with zero chaos.
