From SCORM to Elephant courses

Upload SCORM packages (.zip) to the Elephant Hub, use their content as a cited knowledge source for the AI assistant, or let Ellie generate brand-new courses.

Announcement graphic: SCORM import into Elephant courses

Many companies still have old SCORM courses whose authoring tool is long gone, or that an external agency built years ago. The knowledge inside is valuable but frozen – Elephant now brings these packages back to life in two ways.

📦 SCORM as a knowledge source: Legacy courses become living Elephant knowledge.

The path from archive to AI assistant is remarkably simple:

  • Upload the SCORM file (.zip) directly to a knowledge space in the Elephant Hub
  • A green dot shows once the file has been fully processed
  • The entire content then becomes available to the AI assistant
  • Learners get answers in the app with the SCORM course as the cited source

This makes the import ideal for course archives from discontinued authoring tools or agency-built courses whose knowledge should live on.

✨ New course via AI: Ellie generates a complete Elephant course from SCORM.

You can also turn a SCORM file into a brand-new course:

  • Upload the file under Library → New course or pick it from your knowledge base
  • Ellie, the AI course builder, chats with you to define the scope, proposes a course outline, and generates the full course
  • Ellie draws on everything in the package: texts, voice and text overlays, images, and videos
  • Extracted images land right in the course editor's assets panel, ready to use
  • Since SCORM formats vary widely, the AI flags any file it can't fully read – and the Elephant team helps with conversion

That's how a dusty "Golf Explained" SCORM course turns into a fresh course on golf-course etiquette in no time.
