Multi-SCO SCORM Courses in TCmanager LMS

Companies worldwide typically develop learning content in a modular way using individual SCORM 1.2 Shareable Content Objects (SCOs).

This approach is common in:

• Mechanical and plant engineering
• Manufacturing and production
• Industrial training
• Corporate and professional academies

Typical use cases include HSE / occupational safety, machine operation, leadership development, and mandatory compliance training.

However, in many LMS platforms this modular structure creates significant challenges:

• High administrative effort due to numerous individual uploads
• Lack of learner navigation (no table of contents, no progress bar)
• Fragmented tracking without a unified course completion logic
• Unclear documentation for audits and compliance requirements
• Higher dropout rates caused by poor learner experience

For longer qualification paths in the DACH market - especially technician training and mandatory certifications - this approach does not scale.

Technical Specifications: Multi-SCO Support

TCmanager^® LMS fully supports SCORM 1.2 3rd Edition, including complete imsmanifest.xml validation and automatic resource mapping. Courses can include up to 100 SCOs per package without performance degradation.

The platform is tested with content from iSpring and Adobe Captivate. API-based qualification management enables seamless integration with ERP systems such as SAP, including automated certificate issuance.

Cloud-based scaling ensures efficient page load times, even with 10,000+ users. Audit-proof logs are retained. TCmanager^® is compatible with all major authoring tools.

TCmanager^® is the ideal LMS for:

• Technician qualification management (DE / AT / CH)
• Safety and mandatory compliance training
• Modular learning paths in corporate academies
• B2B training providers with high compliance requirements

As a cloud-native platform, TCmanager^® scales reliably for large user groups and complex course structures, proven in deployments at organizations such as Deutsche Bahn and Schneider Electric.

What are the benefits of a Multi-SCO course in TCmanager^® LMS?

Multi-SCO courses combine separate SCORM 1.2 SCOs into one with central navigation (TOC, progress bar), unified tracking, and automatic certification. This saves up to 80% upload effort, improves completion rates, and simplifies audits – ideal for compliance training in DE, AT, CH.​

Does TCmanager^® LMS support SCORM 1.2 Multi-SCO natively?

Yes, TCmanager handles SCORM 1.2 3rd Edition including imsmanifest.xml and XSD schemas natively, without plugins. It tracks up to 100 SCOs per package stably, tested with iSpring/Adobe Captivate – proven with customers like Deutsche Bahn.​

How do I combine multiple SCORM SCOs into one course?

Unzip the files, build folder structure (SCO1, SCO2), adjust imsmanifest.xml (master organization, unique IDs), validate in SCORM Cloud, and repackage. TCmanager^® imports automatically with full navigation.​

Is combining SCOs technically complex?

For XML-savvy admins, it takes 15–30 minutes per course (Notepad++ suffices). Tools like Adobe Multi-SCORM Packager automate parts. TCmanager minimizes follow-up effort with seamless processing.​

Which authoring tools work with TCmanager^® Multi-SCO?

iSpring Suite, Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, all SCORM 1.2 compliant. Generated SCOs merge directly; TCmanager^® tracks progress precisely, even for German content on ASA/HSE or machine operation.​

Is there a limit on the number of SCOs in TCmanager^®?

Practically up to 100 SCOs per package without performance issues (cloud scaling). SCORM 1.2 allows more, but beyond 100 complexity rises; ample for DACH qualification paths.​

Does TCmanager^® meet DACH compliance standards (DGUV, ÖNORM, SUVA)?

Yes: DGUV-compliant (DE), ÖNORM/ASR (AT), SUVA/SR 822 (CH). Audit-proof logs, servers in DE/AT – perfect for mechanical engineering (VDMA), chemicals (VCI), and automotive audits.
