# SCORM and xAPI

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 are supported for Articulate, iSpring, and Adobe Captivate by using a third-party add-on ([GrassBlade xAPI Companion](https://www.nextsoftwaresolutions.com/grassblade-xapi-companion/) or [Tin Canny add-on by Uncanny Owl](https://www.learndash.com/scorm-tools)). These add-ons allow you to insert the SCORM content into your LearnDash courses.

**NOTE** Content created *within* LearnDash is not SCORM compliant.

If you go the route of [xAPI](http://xapi.com), you’ll need to specify a Learning Record Store (LRS) as well. We recommend one of the following:

- [GrassBlade LRS](https://www.nextsoftwaresolutions.com/grassblade-lrs-experience-api/) *(includes a direct LearnDash integration)*
- [Essentials LRS](https://www.watershedlrs.com/product/pricing/essentials-learning-record-store)

If you don’t need data (as in xAPI data) obtained from the file itself, then you can launch Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate in LearnDash using the following free plugin:
