How to add external courses in Sana

As of today, there are three ways to import external courses in Sana:

  • Direct link to an external course website

  • SCORM 1.2 course format

  • Integration to LinkedIn Learning

All of these methods allow external courses to be integrated into Sanas content list and act like any other course. For example, you’re able to assign learners, edit the description and change visibility settings. The difference being that when a learner clicks on an external course they will be taken to the origin of the course.

Importing external course via link

  1. Go to Manage

  2. Select ‘Content’

  3. Click “Import” in the right corner

  4. Select “Direct Link”. In the new window, paste in the link to the course, click “import”

  5. Add additional information (description, images, tags) about the course if you wish, and click “import” at the bottom. The course is now imported to Sana and will exist in Manage for you to invite learners to.

Importing an external course in SCORM 1.2 format

  1. Go to Manage

  2. Select “Content”

  3. Click “Import” in the right corner

  4. Select “SCORM” and upload the SCORM-file from your computer. The course is now imported to Sana and will exist in Manage for you to invite learners to.

Integration to LinkedIn Learning

We support a more extensive integration to LinkedIn Learning. To set this up, contact your CSM.

Why is my SCORM file import not working?

There could be a number of reasons why it isn’t importing correctly.

Firstly, if the SCORM is not working on Sana follow the below steps:

  1. Sana supports SCORM 1.2 (recommended) and SCORM 2004, please check you have the correct format

  2. Please try exporting the file again from your provider

  3. Once you are sure you have the correct file you can test your SCORM file on https://app.cloud.scorm.com/

If it does not work on the website mentioned in step 3, there might be something wrong with the file. Please ask your provider to investigate this further.

If the file does work then please check:

  • That you have a stable internet connection

  • From another browser (Chrome is recommended)

💡 Sana only supports navigation toolbars with SCORM 1.2 files, if your course contains navigation toolbars please ensure these are selected when exporting

If you require further assistance please contact your customer service representative.
