Embedding an exported SCORM course from Articulate in the iframe of an external LMS

Hello!

I am wondering if it is possible to do the following:

  1. Export a course into SCORM
  2. Upload the SCORM package to Amazon S3
  3. Add an iframe to an external LMS using the Amazon S3 URL
  4. Run the SCORM course in the external LMS

Note that I am looking for the LMS to be able to record progress.

I've already tried doing this (not with S3 yet, but rather another hosting provider), and I received security errors and the course would not run.

I also updated CORS HTTP headers to permit cross-origin requests, but I still get error messages from the SCORM package.

Is this setup possible?  Are there any particulars I should know?

No, you would need to install a scorm package or container into the LMS you could use something like scorm dispatch from scorm cloud, the way you are trying there will be no communication with the LMS. 

There are other companies like Elucidate that create a package that runs from their servers, so something is possible, but you will need a container that can be installed in the LMS to manage the communication with the LMS and between the package.
