If you are using a self-contained, interactive media lesson or module (i.e. those created using e-learning programs like Articulate, Adobe Captivate, etc.), you can upload it to bCourses as a SCORM package and students will be able to view it from your bCourses site. You can also have any quiz scores appear in the gradebook. "SCORM" stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, and e-learning content that has been made using SCORM standards will be able to function in online learning management platforms, like bCourses/Canvas.

The UC Fire and Life Safety Training, as well as the UC Fundamentals of Laboratory Safety are both common examples of interactive media lessons that are used on campus as required trainings.
