Average size of SCORM courses
Hi everyone,
I'm curious, what is the average size of a typical SCORM course?

Hi kseniya,
Size of scorm depends on the kind of assets( hd pictures, hd videos,audio), interactivity, length are in your course. All in all size can vary from 2 mb to 460 mb!! , i have seen the course file in this range.
It would be wise to ask your lms provider to suggest the impacts in using heavy scorms. Ask them which one they are using?? scorm 1.2, scorm 2004 or tin can api as communication standard.
In scorm 1.2, users won't be able to resume course from where they left if the course is heavy.
Our lms has a dashboard which indicates red if file size exceeds 400 mb. So , we do not go beyond it.
To be frank, stay within 100 mb.. that's my rule of thumb.
