What is SCORM Dispatch? Everything You Need to Know (2026 Guide)
Learn how e-learning publishers replace bulky 500MB+ ZIP files with 4.2KB cryptographic proxies for instant multi-LMS distribution.
The Mechanics of SCORM Dispatch
A SCORM dispatch package is an ultra-lightweight ZIP file (typically under 5KB) containing standard SCORM manifest and launch files. When an LMS administrator uploads this package into an LMS (such as Canvas, Moodle, Cornerstone, or Workday), the LMS handles it exactly like a 500MB course package.
However, when a student clicks "Launch Course", the dispatch connector communicates with your central edge gateway, executing code remotely while keeping source files strictly confidential.
Top 5 Benefits for Course Publishers
- Protection from Piracy: Proprietary assets, question banks, and source videos live on your cloud servers, not in the client LMS directory.
- Centralized Version Control: Correcting an error requires one deployment on your master server. Every client LMS immediately serves the updated version without requiring client admin re-uploads.
- True Seat License Enforcement: Cap access at exactly the number of seats purchased. Prevent the common practice of purchasing 50 seats and training 1,000 employees.
- Sub-Second Access Revocation: If a client terminates their agreement or refuses payment, revoke access remotely with sub-180ms latency.
- Instant Client Onboarding: Instead of sending clients a 2GB file over WeTransfer, provide a 4.2KB connector that uploads in 0.5 seconds.
Stop Sending Raw SCORM Files to Clients
