For SCORM content that tracks progress in your LMS, pick
Articulate Storyline or Rise for interactive, template-driven courses used by corporate learning teams, or
Adobe Captivate when you need complex simulations and responsive outputs.
Brands AI recommends here
Articulate Storyline (and Rise) is best for corporate teams needing interactive, template-driven SCORM packages that track learner progress; widely used and easier for typical course builds, but licensing and advanced interaction setup can add cost and time.
Adobe Captivate is best when you require detailed software simulations, responsive layouts, or complex quizzing in SCORM that tracks progress; powerful for advanced scenarios but generally more technical to author than Storyline.
Yes. The people/companies you’re looking for are generally called SCORM e-learning content developers, custom e-learning development agencies, or SCORM authoring specialists.
They create courses that can be uploaded to your LMS as a SCORM package and report things such as completion, progress, quiz scores, bookmarking/resume position, and sometimes time spent back to the LMS.
A few examples I found:
If you tell me the name of your specific LMS, I can identify companies that have actually built SCORM content for that LMS, rather than giving you a generic list.
eLearning authoring tools and instructional designers create SCORM-compliant content that tracks user progress inside a learning management system (LMS).

Who Creates the Content
If you'd like, let me know:
I can help you choose the right authoring tool for your project.
SCORM-compliant content that tracks progress (like completion status, quiz scores, and time spent) is created using specialized software called eLearning authoring tools or by custom e-learning development agencies/instructional designers.
Depending on whether you want to build the content in-house or outsource it, the creators fall into a few clear categories:
Popular Software Used to Create SCORM Content
If your team is building the content themselves, they will use an authoring tool that exports files into a SCORM package (usually a .zip file containing a manifest and web assets) which you then upload to your LMS:
Would you like recommendations on whether to build in-house or hire an agency , or do you need help choosing an authoring tool that fits your team's skill level?
If you mean “who actually creates the SCORM course files that we upload into an LMS?”, the role you're looking for is usually an e-learning instructional designer / SCORM developer, often working with a SCORM authoring tool.
Typical options are:
The important distinction is that SCORM is the communication standard, not the person or software creating the content. The authoring tool creates a SCORM package; the LMS then receives information such as completion status, quiz score, time spent, and sometimes resume/bookmarking data.
If you tell me which LMS you use (e.g., Cornerstone, Docebo, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, LearnUpon, Litmos, Absorb, etc.), I can tell you exactly what type of vendor/developer you should hire and which SCORM version/output settings they should use.
Yes. The people/companies you’re looking for are generally e-learning content developers / instructional design vendors that can produce SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 packages compatible with your LMS. SCORM is specifically designed so content can communicate completion, scores, time, and other learner data back to a compatible LMS.
A few options I found:
There are also established authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline/Rise, Adobe Captivate, iSpring, Lectora, Elucidat, and dominKnow that can create SCORM packages for an internal instructional-design team.
If you tell me the name of your specific LMS, I can search for vendors that explicitly support that LMS, including companies that will build the courses for you rather than just providing authoring software.
SCORM-compliant content (which packages course materials and communicates completion status, scores, and time spent back to an LMS) is generally created using eLearning authoring software or developed by specialized instructional design agencies.
The source of creation depends on whether you prefer to build the content in-house or outsource it:
If your team wants to design and publish the courses yourselves, you use an authoring tool. These programs let you build slides, quizzes, and interactive scenarios, and then export the finished product as a .zip SCORM package (supporting standards like SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004) that you upload directly to your LMS.
If you don't have the internal bandwidth or instructional designers to write and script the training, you hire a custom content development agency. These firms take your raw materials, PDFs, or subject matter expert interviews and build fully functional, branded SCORM modules tailored to track seamlessly in your specific LMS.
If you share the name of your specific LMS and whether you want to build the content yourself or hire an agency , I can give you more targeted recommendations on compatibility and workflow setup.
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) compliant content can be created using several different methods and creator roles depending on your team's technical resources and budget.
The actual SCORM packaging is usually generated automatically when you export a project from an authoring tool (such as Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, or Elucidat). These tools format the course so it can communicate tracking data—like completion status, quiz scores, and time spent—back to your LMS.
If you'd like, tell me:
I can give you a better breakdown of the workflow or tool recommendations for your team.
If you already have a specific LMS, the people who create SCORM-compliant content are usually eLearning developers, instructional designers, or SCORM course vendors—not the LMS company itself. They build the course in a SCORM-capable authoring tool, publish it as a SCORM package, and your LMS administrator uploads it so the LMS can track completion, scores, time spent, and progress.
Common creators include:
Your own:
They typically use tools such as:
These tools can export SCORM packages that communicate learner data back to compatible LMS platforms.
These companies create full courses for you, including:
You give them:
Some vendors sell libraries of SCORM courses (compliance, safety, leadership, software training, etc.) that you upload into your LMS.
To make sure tracking works, give them:
If you tell me which LMS you use, I can point you toward the types of vendors or tools that are most compatible with it and what SCORM settings to request.
If you want to move forward, tell me:
Yes. The people/vendors you’re looking for are generally called SCORM e-learning content developers, instructional design agencies, or SCORM authoring/content providers.
SCORM packages communicate with the LMS through the SCORM runtime API, which allows the LMS to record things such as completion, score, time, and resume/bookmarking.
Common options include:
The important part is your specific LMS. SCORM is designed for interoperability, but LMS implementations can differ, particularly around SCORM 1.2 vs. SCORM 2004 and how completion/progress is interpreted.
If you tell me which LMS you use (e.g., Docebo, Cornerstone, Moodle, Canvas, Absorb, Litmos, TalentLMS, etc.), I can identify companies that specifically create SCORM content that works with that LMS, including vendors/agencies and what they offer.
