Can I upload Google Slides to my LMS?

You can share a link or attach an exported file, but neither behaves like a course — your LMS can't track who viewed it, how far they got, or whether they passed. To make it trackable you convert the deck's content into a SCORM package.

What's the best way to export Google Slides for conversion?

Export as PowerPoint (.pptx) rather than PDF where possible — it preserves slide structure and text, which makes the rebuild into course sections cleaner. File → Download → Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx).

Will my animations and transitions carry over?

Slide animations generally don't survive any SCORM conversion, and you usually don't want them to — a good course replaces decorative motion with structure, knowledge checks, and interactive blocks.

Will the SCORM package work with Moodle and Totara?

Yes. A valid SCORM 1.2 or 2004 package runs in Moodle, Totara, and virtually any SCORM-conformant LMS.

How to Convert Google Slides to SCORM

You have a deck in Google Slides — a workshop, an onboarding session, a policy briefing — and your LMS wants a SCORM course. Sharing a Slides link doesn’t solve it: viewers fall outside your LMS, permissions can break, and you can’t track who actually learned anything. This guide shows how to convert Google Slides to SCORM so your LMS can track completion, scores, and progress.

Why a Slides link isn’t a course

A shared deck can be viewed, but it can’t report completion, scores, progress, or feed a training report. SCORM exists for exactly this: it packages your content with a manifest the LMS reads, so the course and the LMS exchange data like completion status and score. New to it? Here’s what SCORM is.

The manual way

Export the deck (File → Download → PowerPoint .pptx), open it in an authoring tool like Storyline or iSpring, reformat each slide, add quizzes, and publish to SCORM. It works, but it’s slow and the tools are expensive.

The fast way (AI — SCORMBuilder.ai)

Download the deck as .pptx and upload it (or paste your topic).
Let the AI structure it into sections, content blocks, and quiz questions.
Edit in the visual editor — 48 block types, AI images, voice narration.
Export to SCORM 1.2, 2004, xAPI, or cmi5.
Upload to your LMS — drops straight into Moodle, Totara, or any SCORM-conformant system.

Starting from a desktop deck instead? The same flow applies to PowerPoint. For a video lesson, see converting a video to SCORM.

Which SCORM version?

SCORM 1.2 for the widest support (safe default); SCORM 2004 for richer reporting; xAPI/cmi5 for modern tracking beyond the LMS. Export 1.2 first, confirm it tracks, then move up if needed.

Tips

Export as .pptx (not PDF) to keep structure; chunk a long deck into short sections; add a knowledge check every few sections so the LMS has a score to track; rework slide bullet-dumps into scannable, interactive blocks.
