The SCORM Untethered components support a number of different offline deliver scenarios. Virtually any scenario can be supported using different component configurations. A few of the more common use cases for a disconnected SCORM player are highlighted below.

• Thumb Drive or Laptop Deployment – A learner logs into a LMS and views a list of available courses and selects which courses he would like to take offline. The LMS creates a downloadable file containing these courses along with an offline SCORM player. The learner saves this file to a USB thumb drive or to a laptop computer. When disconnected, the learner double-clicks on the downloaded file to launch the offline SCORM player (no installation is required). The learner experiences the downloaded courses and SCORM Untethered saves the learner’s results on the laptop or USB thumb drive. Later, when connectivity is available, the learner launches the offline SCORM player which automatically synchronizes the stored results with the LMS.  [More]
• Laptop Delivery (installed application) – An application is installed on a laptop computer which acts as a front end to a LMS. Through this application, the learner can select courses to be taken offline and then take them at his leisure. The application manages the synchronization of both course files and learner results. An installed application can also support more than one learner per computer.  [More]
• Read-only CD Delivery – SCORM Untethered converts any SCORM course to be delivered using just a web browser. This conversion embeds a full SCORM player with the course in a single package that can be burned to and run from a CD. Since this player is written entirely in JavaScript, the full course can be viewed using just a web browser. The player has full support for all of the SCORM standards, including SCORM 2004 sequencing. As long as the browser remains open, all of the SCORM data is supported, so features like bookmarking are enabled, however this data is not saved once the browser is closed.  [More]
• Read-write CD Delivery – An administrator creates a CD containing one or more courses and a SCORM Untethered player. When the CD is inserted into a computer, the learner is prompted for a location to save his progress data. The learner then experiences the course(s) and his progress data is saved on the computer’s hard drive. The learner may stop and start the course(s) on this computer as he wishes and all of his progress data will be saved. Optionally, this progress data can be submitted to a LMS for recording in the learner’s transcript.  [More]
• Cached content, network deployment or classroom delivery – Using SCORM Untethered and the SCORM Engine, content can be positioned at locations that are “close” to the learner. These locations can serve all of the content to the learners locally, reducing the burden on the central LMS servers. The local locations can further unburden the central LMS by temporarily storing the learner’s results locally as they progress through the content. These results can then be synchronized with the central LMS at a later time in a single efficient batch update.  [More]
