SUMS on StudyWiz studywiz logo
If you came to this page from a Search engine, start reading at our main SCORM page, where there are also eight samples that you can use to see how it all works.

StudyWiz is quite widely used in UK Primary schools. It works well with SUMS Maths, though we are waiting for it to register runtime scores from the SUMS maths activities. We await a response from StudyWiz support.

Our "SUMS on StudyWiz Showcase" schools will be happy to share their experiences with you. We will be listing contact details here soon.

GUIDE. Part 1. Adding SUMS Maths SCORM 2004 packs to StudyWiz

SUMS Maths packs need to be first added to the eLocker within StudyWiz.

Screenshot 1. Finding the SCORM repository in the eLocker

When you logon to StudyWiz as a teacher, eLocker will normally be one of the prominent tabs as below.

Clicking on the SCORM courses link then gets you into the place in the eLocker where all of the SCORM courses are stored, ready to be used in courses. Note the 'Add new SCORM Course' link at the bottom of the screen.

When you click the 'Add new SCORM Course' link, you are presented with the following upload box. You also use this if you need to update an existing SCORM pack, which is a quick process on StudyWiz.

Note that the SUMS Quick Guide has short descriptions for all of the core 80 SUMS activities, if you want some words to go in the Course Description box.

Click on 'upload course' and browse for the SUMS Maths zip file, which in this case is called 'sums_hd31_pictoperfect_270409_760.zip' . When you click OK you get a screen very like the one above, except this time there is a tick showing that the SCORM pack has been uploaded. You also have the opportunity to see how the activity looks , in either normal or full-screen mode.

It takes about an hour to add all 80 core packs, once you understand how it all works. It is important to keep a consistent format so that the activities list together in alphabetical order as below.

Once all 80 are in the SCORM repository in the eLocker, you are ready to create a course.
