Technical / Code Review

Independent review of your SCORM build

A senior pair of eyes on the SCORM package, the authoring-tool output, or the in-house code your team wrote. We tell you what is wrong, what is risky, and what to do about it — in a written report you can hand to leadership or to the vendor.

When a code review pays for itself

A few common moments where an independent technical voice saves a lot of money.

A vendor delivered SCORM and you do not trust it

They say it is done. You want a second technical opinion before you sign the acceptance certificate or release the final payment.

You inherited a SCORM catalog from another team

Hundreds of courses, no documentation, and an LMS migration on the horizon. A review tells you what is safe to migrate vs. what needs rebuilding.

Tracking is silently wrong and you cannot reproduce it

Some learners complete. Some do not. Reports look right in the authoring tool and wrong in the LMS. We trace the cmi.* calls and find the gap.

Your team is new to SCORM and learning the hard way

A review doubles as a teaching exercise. The written report explains the "why" so your in-house developers can avoid the same mistakes on the next course.

What we cover

A structured pass across the technical surface of your course or build.

Manifest & packaging

imsmanifest.xml structure, resource declarations, dependencies, organization hierarchy, schema version conformance.

SCORM API calls

cmi.* and SCORM 2004 API usage, suspend_data handling, completion/success status, score reporting, exit / unload behaviour.

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)

Keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, contrast, focus management, captioning, ARIA usage in interactive elements.

LMS compatibility

Behaviour in SCORM Cloud and your target LMS (Moodle, Cornerstone, TalentLMS, Canvas, Docebo, SuccessFactors, Totara, and others).

Cross-device & cross-browser

Chrome / Firefox / Safari / Edge on desktop, iOS Safari and Chrome Android on mobile. Touch interactions, viewport behaviour, audio playback.

Performance & payload

Initial load time, asset weight, audio/video encoding, JS bundle size, animation jank, and the cost of authoring-tool runtimes.

Content security

Inline credentials, exposed API keys, mixed-content warnings, CDN dependencies, third-party tracking scripts inside the SCORM package.

Code quality (when you own the source)

Framework choice, build tooling, test coverage, dependency hygiene, opportunities to consolidate or simplify the codebase.

Localisation readiness

How the course handles RTL, multibyte characters, swapped audio tracks, and locale-specific assets — even if you only ship one language today.

What lands in your inbox

One PDF report, written in plain English, that a non-developer can hand to a developer.

Executive summary

One page, plain English. Three numbers: how many critical issues, how many should-fix, and how many nice-to-have. A non-developer can hand this to leadership.

Prioritised fix list

Every finding is rated by severity and rough effort to fix. The list is sorted so the cheapest, highest-impact fixes are at the top.

Annotated screenshots & log excerpts

When the bug is visible we show you the screenshot. When it is in the SCORM API trace we show you the relevant lines. No hand-waving.

Recommendations your team can action

For each finding: what to change, in which file, with a one-paragraph explanation of why. Written so a developer who has never seen the code can follow it.
