Course Studio authors interactive learning from your own documents and works alongside your existing learning management system (LMS) — it doesn't replace it. When a course is ready, you can share it in two ways: assign and track it inside Joy, or publish it to your LMS with a one-click SCORM or xAPI export. Because the export uses these open standards, a course you build in Course Studio works with any standards-compliant LMS.

Assigning inside Joy vs. exporting to your LMS

Both options let people work through the same course — the difference is where completion is tracked.

  • Assign and track inside Joy. Assign the course to individuals or groups directly in Joy. Each assignment appears as a task for the learner, and you track completion from the Tasks page. This is a quick way to roll out learning without leaving Joy.
  • Export to your LMS. Publish the course as a SCORM or xAPI package and deliver it through the LMS your organization already uses. Completion and reporting then flow through your LMS, alongside the rest of your catalog.

Exporting a course

To publish a course to your LMS, follow these general steps. Exact labels and screens may vary in your workspace.

Open the finished course

Open the course you created in Course Studio and confirm the content is reviewed and ready to share.

Choose export

Select the option to publish or export the course. Course Studio prepares a standards-based package you can hand to your LMS.

Pick a package format

Choose SCORM or xAPI depending on what your LMS supports and how much detail you want to track.

Upload to your LMS

Import the package into your LMS the same way you add any other course, then assign it to your learners through your LMS.

SCORM or xAPI? SCORM is the long-established standard and is supported almost everywhere, making it the safe default for tracking course completion and scores. xAPI captures a richer, more detailed record of learning activity and works beyond a single course window. If your LMS supports both, choose xAPI when you want deeper reporting and SCORM when you want the broadest compatibility.
