Building high-quality eLearning courses is harder than it looks. Most organizations underestimate the time, tools, and expertise needed to design professional SCORM-compliant content that engages learners and tracks progress accurately.
That’s why more companies, training firms, and consultants are turning to outsourced SCORM development — a faster, more reliable way to create courses that look great, perform flawlessly, and deliver measurable learning outcomes.
At LMS Portals, we take that idea further. We don’t just build SCORM courses — we also launch them inside your own branded learning portal, giving you a complete, turnkey training system.
And now, we offer full course development services on any topic. Whether you have existing training materials or just a concept, our team can create professional, SCORM-ready courses — designed, branded, and ready to deliver.
What Is SCORM and Why It Still Matters
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is the global standard for eLearning content. It ensures that online courses communicate correctly with Learning Management Systems (LMSs) — tracking completions, quiz scores, time spent, and certifications.
Without SCORM compliance, training data can be inconsistent or completely lost. That’s why it remains essential for any organization that needs accurate reporting, regulatory compliance, or standardized learning experiences.
Why In-House Course Development Slows You Down
Many teams start building their own courses only to hit a wall.
Typical challenges include:
Complex authoring tools (Articulate, Captivate, iSpring) that require training and licensing.
Weeks spent converting PowerPoints, writing scripts, and testing SCORM tracking.
Inconsistent visuals and learner experiences.
High internal costs once design time, revisions, and software fees are added up.
The result is often stalled projects and underwhelming content — or worse, no eLearning launch at all.
Why Outsource SCORM Development
Outsourcing turns course creation into a fast, predictable, and professional process.
1. Speed
Experienced developers can produce SCORM courses in days, not weeks. That means you can deliver content to clients or employees almost immediately.
2. Cost Efficiency
You avoid expensive licenses, hardware, and design staff. You only pay for the courses you need — at professional quality.
3. Quality
Specialists understand instructional design, multimedia production, and SCORM testing. Your courses look better, flow better, and work in any standards-compliant LMS.
4. Scalability
Need one course or an entire library? Outsourced teams scale production instantly without internal hiring.
5. Compliance
All courses are tested for full SCORM compatibility and accurate reporting across platforms.
LMS Portals: More Than Outsourced Development
Most vendors deliver finished SCORM files and move on. LMS Portals combines content creation with branded delivery, giving you everything you need to run a professional training program under your own name.

New: Course Development Services for Any Topic
LMS Portals now offers custom course development services to help you create eLearning content fast — with or without existing materials.
Option 1: Convert Your Existing Materials
If you already have PowerPoints, PDFs, videos, or policy documents, we’ll turn them into interactive SCORM-compliant courses. We add structure, narration, quizzes, and professional design so your content looks great and performs reliably.
Option 2: Build Courses from Scratch
Don’t have materials? No problem. Tell us your topic, learning goals, or audience — and our instructional design team will research, write, and build new courses for you.
We can produce content on almost any subject, including:
HR, DEI, and onboarding
Workplace safety and OSHA compliance
Leadership, sales, and communication skills
Cybersecurity, ethics, and regulatory topics
Customer service and soft skills
Each course is built in SCORM format and branded to match your organization or client identity.

The ROI of Outsourced SCORM Development
Outsourcing turns eLearning from a project headache into a repeatable business asset.
Case Example
A regional HR consulting firm wanted to add online compliance training for clients but lacked an LMS and course authoring tools.
LMS Portals:
Built six SCORM courses on workplace conduct, harassment prevention, and onboarding.
Converted their internal slides and policies into interactive learning modules.
Launched a fully branded training portal under their company name.
The firm now licenses access to that portal to client companies — creating a recurring revenue stream with minimal effort.
