Standards support
Every line says where the claim came from. We do not test conformance ourselves and we issue no badge of our own.
| Standard | Supported | Provenance | Checked | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCORM 1.2 | Yes | editor-checked · 24 Aug 2026— source, opens in a new tab | The export builds a self-contained HTML bundle, adds the pipwerks SCORM_API_wrapper plus an H5P-to-SCORM adaptor, and zips it with simple-scorm-packager against a hard-coded version of "1.2". Mastery score is settable in the export dialog. | |
| SCORM 2004 | No | editor-checked · 24 Aug 2026 | The SCORM version passed to the packager is fixed at 1.2; there is no 2004 option in the code or the export UI. | |
| xAPI | No | editor-checked · 24 Aug 2026 | H5P content types emit xAPI events internally and the adaptor maps them onto SCORM calls, but Lumi has no LRS client and no xAPI output — no reference to xAPI or an LRS exists in its own source. | |
| cmi5 | No | editor-checked · 24 Aug 2026 | — | |

Editor's notes
Lumi is an Electron desktop application that wraps the H5P editor and player so you can build interactive content — branching scenarios, interactive video, question sets — without a Moodle or WordPress install behind it. That alone makes it useful to freelancers and small teams. What earns it a place in a SCORM directory is the export menu: alongside .h5p and standalone HTML, it will produce a SCORM package.
The mechanics set the limits. Lumi bundles the content into a single HTML file with external media, drops in the pipwerks SCORM API wrapper and a small H5P-to-SCORM adaptor, and hands the folder to simple-scorm-packager with the version fixed at 1.2. You get a single-SCO SCORM 1.2 package that reports completion and a score, with a mastery score set at export time. You do not get SCORM 2004, sequencing, multi-SCO structures, or any xAPI output.
That makes it a good fit for one job: turning a single interactive activity into something an LMS will accept and grade. It is a poor fit for course-length material, for anything needing 2004 features, or for teams wanting the analytics H5P is often bought for.
The project is alive but modest — last push July 2026, release 1.0.3 in May, 191 stars, and 112 open issues, which suggests demand well ahead of maintainer capacity. Reasonable to depend on for authoring; check each exported package in the target LMS rather than trusting the export blindly.
