Exporting SCORM Packages from Cinema8

Exporting your videos as SCORM packages allows you to integrate Cinema8’s interactive videos into Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Akademi.net, Moodle, Blackboard, or Canvas. SCORM ensures that learners can interact with your content while their progress and completion status are tracked seamlessly within the LMS.
