Editing a SCORM package

I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I'm working with Captivate 6.1. I have a single Captivate project with about 40 slides. I have published it to SCORM 1.2 and imported it into our LMS. When I open it in the LMS it appears like this (see below).
Is there a way to edit the SCORM package such that when a user opens it this opening screen is not displayed but they are taken directly to the beginning of the presentation?

This is not controlled by the Captivate content. Check the settings in your LMS. I suspect that you need to change something there to automatically initiate play of the first module.

SCORM Packager. What do owners of Master Collection do to obtain a version of Captivate with this?

This is a question for Adobe. We already own the Master Collection and just need Captivate, but we also need the SCORM Packager that is apparently only available with the eLearning Suite. The eLearning Suite would be a downgrade from the Master Collection. I am an eLearning instructional designer and yes, I edit video, I create graphics in Illustrator. We already own Master Collection and I am trial running Captivate. Without the SCORM Packager, Captivate is pretty much useless to us and I will not be able to justify purchasing it. So, Adobe, what's your solution for users like me? (I know that I am not the only one in this situation.)

So do I understand correctly that Adobe chose to eliminate the Captivate 4
feature which allowed users to create multi-SCO SCORM packages and now
requires the same users to purchase the entire eLearning Suite in order to
regain that feature? I can understand the rationale for adding the tool to
the eLearning Suite – it is a logical feature for developers who create
complex activities using Captivate or Flash. However, many of us loyal
Captivate and CS users need video tools like Premiere and Aftereffects, and
we were advised by well meaning Adobe sales staff to purchase the Master
Collection and Captivate - a strategy which worked great until Captivate 5.
I know we are a minority, but we represent a good chunk of your power users.
Is there some way we can have access to at least the Multi-SCO packager?

Multi-SCORM Packager for v.5 & v.7 files

Hi all,
I have 11 different projects that originally were created in v.5 and that I am editing now. This is the only version of Captivate that the client has and wants to maintain the files in this version. I also have v.7 on my machine. Since Multi-SCORM is now a part of v.7, can I use that to publish the .zip files that include the imsmanifest.xml files to upload to their LMS (ComplianceWire)?
Thanks

If you're asking whether or not the Cp7 Multi-SCORM Packager can handle Cp 5.5 SCOs the answer is that it's not likely. Cp6 introduced a totally new set of SCORM drivers from Rustici Software, the people behind the SCORM Cloud LMS and TIN CAN API. As a result of this big change to the SCORM output, the Cp 5.5 packager could not handle Cp6 or Cp7 SCOs. So the reverse would also seem likely.
But by all means do some testing before you write it off.

Multi-SCORM Packager Takes the SCO Title from the wrong field

I think I've just stumbled across a huge bug in the Cp7 Multi-SCORM Packager tool. Can anyone else confirm seeing this same issue?
I have a multi-SCORM course with several modules. Each SCO is set up in the LMS Manifest dialog with a unique ID in the SCO Identifier field (e.g. My_Course_Module_ID) and the SCO Title field underneath has the correct name of the same module (e.g. My Course Module). When published to SCORM zip files the imsmanifest.xml files for these modules are correct.
However, I've just discovered that when packaging up a number of these SCORM modules using the Multi-SCORM Packager tool, the resulting imsmanifest.xml file it produces is NOT using the SCO Title. When uploaded to an LMS the SCO Title shown in the LMS TOC seems to be whatever had been used as the Project Title field text in the Publish dialog at the time the SCO was published.
Here's the issue: The Publish Title field ends up being used for the file names of the output. So if you use a Project Title such as: My Course Module it will mean your HTM and SWF output file are named as My Course Module.htm and My Course Module.swf. The problem with this is obviously that the spaces in the filenames mean you cannot use them on the web. So, I normally use a lowercase name with underscore characters in the Project Title field (e.g. my_course_module) to ensure the output is web-compatible (e.g. my_course_module.htm, my_course_module.swf).
It doesn't matter whether you are publishing for SCORM 1.2 or 2004, the result is the same. The TOC in the LMS comes out with the wrong text string. The issue with this bug in the Multi-SCORM Packager taking the Title attribute for the imsmanifest.xml from the wrong dialog field means that the TOC strings displayed in the LMS are incorrect. So far I've found no way to resolve this issue other than manually modifying the combined imsmanifest.xml.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Can Adobe confirm if this is a known bug/issue so that I know if I need to log it or not? Is there a fix or workaround (other than manually editing each and every imsmanifest.)

Shriyansh,
Are you using the Cp7 version of the Multi-SCORM Packager or the Cp8 version? I'm talking about the Cp7 packager app.
I've tried this Cp7 SCORM Packager on two different machines installed a year apart and they both do the same thing.
Here is my Manifest dialog settings:
Note that what I'm expecting to see in the TOC of the LMS SCORM Player is the Title field name of the SCO (About Working in Courts in this case). But what I'm seeing appear is actually not that field, and it's not even the SCO ID field above it. (I tried changing that field as well to see if its value was what ended up getting written into the imsmanifest.xml for the multi-SCORM package.)
What ended up being used as the Title of the SCO in the package turned out to be the contents of the Publish dialog's Project Title field.
I verified this by changing the values in this Project Title field for a couple of SCOs, published them to zips and then compiled them into a Multi-SCORM. THEN I was seeing those values in the TOC of the LMS player.
Currently, when I create a Multi-SCORM Package with the Cp7 app, here's what I see in the Title tags of the Organizations block:
As you can see above, what's coming out is NOT the SCO Title tag value from the Manifest dialog, and although it looks similar, it's not the SCO ID either. The value is in fact taken from the Publish dialog's Project Title field.
Weird. I've never seen this issue in any previous version of the Multi-SCORM Packager tool.
Any ideas why this is getting so badly screwed up?

Director Movies in SCORM packages

Hi All,
We are new to SCORM packages. We would like to convert already existing Director movies (Extension .DCR) to Scorm packages.
Can you please suggest me a right tool to build the SCORM package in 2004 3rd edition. We want final output to work on IE and firefox.
We would like to have the content in below format. Each Course consists of 3 Sections (Pre-Test, Lesson and Post Test)..
1. Pretest
a.    Pretest will consists of 10 questions which will be randomly picked from Question bank of 20.
b.    Pretest scores need to be update to LMS
2. Lesson
a.    Each lesson will consist of subchapters
b.    Each sub chapter will consists of one or more director movies
c.    Bookmarking need to be done at subchapter level
d.    Sub Chapter completion status needs to be tracked in LMS considering all sub chapters are of equal weightage (Which can change in future). If user completes 4 sub chapters out of 8 sub chapters, LMS need to be intimated that 50% of Chapter is completed
3. Posttest
a.    Posttest will consist of 10 questions which will be randomly picked from Question bank of 20.
b.    Posttest scores need to be update to LMS
Thanks
Ande

Hi RodWard,
Thank you for your reply.
We have hundreds of hours of DCR movies. So convering to FLA is not an option.
Do you know any other tool that can might be helpful.
Thanks

SCORM packaging from FCPX??

I need to create SCORM packages for my Learning Management System (LMS) with my FCPX projects. I was told by Apple that this was possible when I bought the program. I cannot find where to do this. What am I missing? Would Compressor make this easier? I have searched and searched, but I am finding very little that is helpful. Please help!

Hi Stacey,
Great question. I'm part of the SCORM Cloud team at Rustici Software. We specialize in SCORM and I think we have a solution for your problem.
You can create SCORM packages using your exisiting videos pretty easily using ScoTube. ScoTube is a tool inside of SCORM Cloud that converts your existing videos, or even videos on YouTube, into SCORM courses. All you have to do is sign up for a free trial account to be able to convert your videos. Keep in mind that the trial account does have a 100MB storage limit and you can only create 10 registrations.
When it comes to delivering your video courses to your LMS, you could either export your course (requires a paid account) as a stand-alone course and import it in to your LMS environment or you can use Dispatch. Dispatch is a package that is hosted on SCORM Cloud but sent to your LMS. With Dispatch, you remain in control of your content and you get unparalled tracking and reporting on what's going on between your learners and your courses.
If you would like a demo of how this works inside of SCORM Cloud, I'd be happy to show you around. Feel free to contact me directly at jena.lawing<at>scorm<dot>com.
Thanks!

SCORM packager for Mac?

Hello!
There are a couple components to this question - essentially, I'd like to have the Flash capabilities of the eLearning Suite on my Mac (I don't need Captivate.) There's a SCORM packager offered with the eLearning Suite version of Flash, and I really need something comparable.
I'm working with an eLearning development team and I know enough about Flash to be able to take their templates and build out courses. I'm also fairly proficient in AS3 (I can look at the code and figure out how to modify it appropriately or go and find what I want on the net). My biggest problem right now is that this team all has CS4 eLearning Suite and I'm trying to work with them from my CS4 Web Design Premium software.
Everything works right up until I try to edit, or publish one of their scored assessment .flas and then it breaks. I originally thought it was just because I changed something I wasn't aware of, but I opened one, didn't alter anything, published it and it no longer worked appropriately. I'm guessing this is because my version of Flash is missing something included in the eL suite version? Does that hold any water? I'm really ignorant when it comes to the SCORM stuff, so any help (even basic explanation of what's happening) would be helpful and appreciated.
Also, I would also love to be able to package a course myself, but can't using the Adobe Scorm Packager because it's not distributed outside of the eL suite and not at all for Macs from what I can tell. Any recommendations? Or is it impossible to match what the team is doing exactly with the Adobe solution on my MacBook Pro with a 3rd party packager?
Thanks again! Best,
-SJ

So the lessons the folks with the eLearning Suite publish work fine in the LMS? Or is that totally your job....so you've never gotten these to work as needed?
If the other folks have a process for publishing these lessons that works in the target LMS, have them absolutely detail that for you, then see if you can duplicate or where the process breaks down.
When you "publish one of their scored assessment .flas and then it breaks", what does that mean? Just published it doesn't work as expected? It doesn't work as it does when they publish it (assuming they do)? It doesn't work in the LMS when their published versions do?
And when it 'doesn't work'....what doesn't work?
If the other folks on the team can output/publish content that works in the target LMS, then you need to know exactly how that's done and figure out exactly where you run into trouble.
If the other folks can't/don't do that output and that final SCORM publishing is up to you, then perhaps a better plan is to find a third-party 'shell' or 'wrapper' that can take your non-SCORM content and integrate it for the SCORM functionality you need. Of course, better to handle that through the tools you have yourself - for example, there's a free (I think) SCO packager extension for Dreamweaver that may help... I'm not really sure what the SCORM Packager in the eLearning Suite actually does...

Error "Only edit objects from package /VIRSA/ZVIR in local requests"

Hey, SAP gurus,
After I applied OSS note 1149445 in our Dev box to fix the bug in program /VIRSA/ZVFAT, I had problem to realease the transport. I got the error u201COnly edit objects from package /VIRSA/ZVIR in local requestsu201D.
u201CObjects in package /VIRSA/ZVIR cannot be edited in transportable Workbench requests in the current Dev system. The transport routes are configured such that objects from package /VIRSA/ZVIR can only be edited in local Workbench requests.u201D
What can I do to release the transport and move it to our QA box?
Thanks in advance!
Fisher Li

My co-worker and I followed SAP instruction on this one and solve the issue.
We created a "transport of copies" by using Transaction SE01. Go to the request overview and choose Request/task -> Object list -> Include objects to include the "child transport number of my transport" in this "transport of copies". Add the target system and release the change request.
Thanks!

Error : Only edit objects from package ZSD in local requests

Hi Experts,
We are modifying all Z-programs to unicode enabled programs in ECC6.0 Upgradation. While doing this we are not able to save it as a transportable request. It displays error as "Only edit objects from package ZSD in local requests".
So can anyone tell me how to save it as a transportable request.
Thanks,
Ranjith C.

Hi,
two ways:
1. change the transport type: create transport type copy in se01 and copy all mentioned objects to that transport
2. better way: correct development class and transport layer
case a. target system was not definied (not known to TMS) or is empty
case b. source system (original system for objects) not known to TMS
case c. objects assigned to local package (former local development class)
etc.
If you don't understand this explanation, just use one of Z transport layers showed in stms, by changing the transport layer in the definition of the package (se80) to shown in STMS (link name from source to targed system)
Kind regards,
Mirek

I've lost CS5 Design Premium Teachers Edition CD Installation Package. How can I download it? Typical version of CS 5 Design Premium is not working with my serial number

I've lost CS5 Design Premium Teachers Edition CD Installation Package. How can I download it? Typical version of CS 5 Design Premium is not working with my serial number. Can someone help me?

Łukasz%20Molenda if you purchased Creative Suite 5 from Adobe directly, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available in your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find additional details at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/find-download-link.html.
If you purchased the software on a DVD and your current computer does not have an optical drive then you can copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does contain an optical drive.

How do I save a SCORM package in Packager?

I use eLearning Suite's SCORM Packager to create multi-SCO objects for my LMS. It will create the package, but it won't let me save the info for further use - the save button is inactive. Is there something I need to do to activate this functionality? I'm getting tired of re-entering the manifest information every time I need to regenerate the package.

Thanks, I will try that process.
I used to be able to convert Pages document easily to iPhoto before I upgraded to Lion. Used to be able to go to: File > Print> PDF (bottom left corner of print dialog box)>Save as PDF to iPhoto.
Now if I do that I have option to save as PDF to iTunes but not to iPhoto.
The advantage of saving Pages to iPhoto was that it was very easy to send email of collages of photos created in Pages.

HI
Follow the steps.
1. Create a new transport request
2. Select include objetcts
3. Object list from request and select your tranport request
4. Release the Transport request and transport.
If don't work try this other case:
1. Run tcode SE01
2. Create a new "Transport of copies"
3. Into the request, choose menu "request/task -> object list -> include objects
4. Include your transport request
5. Add the target system and release the request.

Only edit objects from package ZPACKAGE in local requests

Hi Experts,
I was adding a secondary index to a Ztable present in a package ZPACKAGE. When I tried to save in a workbench request, I got the error message "You cannot use request XXXXXX". I then created a local change request where the target system is not mentioned in the transport request. I was able to save the index and later I mentioned the target system. When I tried to release the transport request, I get the message "Only edit objects from package ZPACKAGE in local requests". Kindly suggest what can I do save the changes in a transport request and release it.
Thanks

Check out the transport layer and target system for that transport layer. As someone suggested, talk to your basis.
This is most common when you have the actual table in temp folder but the index stored in Zpackage.
I would first check my objects package to make sure that they are in right package. If everything @ right place, then i will check the package transport layer and software component then check the 'use access' of the package. if the package is good then check the transport path and target systems for each transport later.

Transport error: "Only edit objects from package CL in local requests"

I have made changes to an SAP original program as per Note 1096366 on SAP's service web site. The program is an Include program (LCLCMFMZ). I have assigned it a transport number, but it keeps trying to make the target local. When I change the target to DEV, it will not transport and I get the following error:
"Only edit objects from package CL in local requests"
Does anyone know what this error means?
Thanks.

Thanks Nick,
but I think I have figured it out. I needed to create a transport of copies (from se09) and include this object in that transport (right click and choose 'Include object...'). Then back to se01 and display all transportable object (including transport of copies). Then select my transport of copies, choose a target system (from double clicking and going to properties). Only then would it let this object get transported.

Which edition of SCORM 2004 does CP5 report in?

I'm watching a series of videos from ADLInitiatives and they mention that SCORM 2004 has various editions/vertions from 1-4. I was wondering which version CP 5 is conforming to?
Susan

Hi
Did you ever get an answer for this?
I'm trying to find which edition of SCORM 2004 (3rd, or 4th) that "Captivate 5" outputs to?
thanks!!
