How to set SCORM Review/Retake functionality when importing SCORM/xAPI object
The built-in SCORM review/retake functionality can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, it allows you to use any native review/retake functionality and prevents conflicts with such.

Remove a grade item from a SCORM object after the package is imported
In order to remove a grade item that was originally created as part of a SCORM package, you must first break the association between the grade book item and the content item.
To remove a grade item from a SCORM object after the package is imported
- In the Content tool, navigate to the SCORM object that you want to disassociate from the grade item.
- Click the content topic.
- From the Activity Details tab, in the Assessment area, click the topic title.
- From the context menu, click No Grade.
- Click Save.
Note: If the SCORM package is already deleted, you cannot remove the grade book item. If you require grade book items to be removed from your course, contact D2L Support.
Move your imported SCORM content to a different module
If you are using the legacy SCORM solution and you import a SCORM package, it creates a single module and topic as part of the process. After the import process is completed, you can move the topic using the move function in the Content tool to the desired module and delete the unnecessary module that was created as part of the import process.
Adjust the display size of your SCORM object
If you are using the legacy SCORM solution, in many cases, display issues are the result of settings selected when authoring a SCORM package. If SCORM objects are too small or too large when viewed in Content, consider replacing the absolute values set for the dimensions in the HTML file with relative values.
- From Manage Files, click the action menu for the file you want to edit.
- Select Edit File > HTML Source Editor.
- Replace the absolute values for width and height in the HTML file with relative values.
- Click Save.
Note: The location of these elements vary depending on the authoring tool used to create the SCORM package. Editing these values from the publishing tool and creating a new package with the updated values allows you to successfully use the package repeatedly while only needing to edit it once.
