Download only from CourseCode Desktop downloads or official GitHub Releases.
For people building LMS courses
If you are looking for a SCORM authoring tool, CourseCode Desktop is the non-terminal entry point to the CourseCode project format. Create a project, add content and interactions, preview the course locally, then export a package your LMS can import.
SCORM 2004 export
Use SCORM 2004 when your LMS supports richer completion, success, score, and interaction tracking.
cmi5 and LTI paths
Keep the same source project and target cmi5 or a server-backed LTI 1.3 integration when your platform supports it.
Desktop SCORM workflow
Download CourseCode Desktop for macOS or Windows from the verified download page.
Start a course from a template, import source material, and use AI assistance when helpful.
Test navigation, interactions, completion, and learner state before uploading to an LMS.
Export a SCORM package for LMS upload, or deploy to CourseCode Cloud when hosted delivery is useful.
Why instructional designers use it
No per-seat authoring fee
CourseCode Desktop is free and open source, so teams can evaluate and author locally without trial gates.
Visual app, open files
Use buttons and previews instead of command-line workflows while keeping courses in regular project files.
Built for real LMS delivery
Preview locally, export LMS packages, and keep Cloud optional rather than required for SCORM delivery.
SCORM questions
Can I build SCORM courses without using the command line?
Yes. CourseCode Desktop provides buttons for creating projects, starting preview, and building LMS-ready SCORM packages. Advanced customizations may still involve editing the project source.
Which SCORM versions does CourseCode Desktop support?
CourseCode Desktop supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 exports. The same source project can also target cmi5 or a server-backed LTI 1.3 integration.
Will the SCORM package work in my LMS?
CourseCode Desktop exports standard LMS packages for SCORM-compliant platforms, including Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Docebo, TalentLMS, Absorb, and similar systems.
Do I need CourseCode Cloud to export SCORM?
No. SCORM authoring, local preview, and export work locally in the desktop app. CourseCode Cloud is optional for hosted previews, team workflows, analytics, and managed delivery.
