SCORM – Send Learner Event Data to Learner Record Store (LRS) – 3900.125
Impact: Administrators
Updated Help Page: SCORM Engine
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable
SCORM activity data of students can now be securely emitted from Blackboard to external Learner Record Stores (LRS). Institutions can use advanced analytics and reporting tools designed for SCORM content.
Previously, Blackboard’s SCORM player captured learner interactions but didn't include a way to send this data to external LRS platforms. This limitation impacted clients who rely on LRS systems for compliance, performance tracking, and learner analytics.

New capabilities include:
- LRS Integration toggle switch: Administrators can now turn on SCORM event data transmission using a new toggle switch in the Administrator Panel.
- Configurable LRS Targets: Institutions can register their LRS URL credentials.
- Event Emissions: The system now supports a wide range of SCORM events.
The integration aligns with xAPI standards, ensuring compatibility with modern LRS platforms.
This update empowers institutions to track learner progress and gain deeper insights into SCORM-based learning.
