Questions about converting slides
Want the detail? Read our guide to turning PowerPoint and PDF training into SCORM e-learning.
Can you convert PowerPoint to SCORM?
Yes. A PowerPoint deck can be rebuilt as an interactive module and published as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI, so your LMS records completions and scores. Saving the slides as a video or PDF is quicker, but it records very little about what people learned.
How long should an e-learning module be?
For most workplace topics, 10 to 20 minutes per module works well. If a deck covers more than that, split it into a short series so people can finish each part in one sitting.
Is the checklist free?
Yes. Enter your name, work email and organisation and you can open the PDF straight away. We also email you a copy and one short follow-up about a free demo module, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
